Time kills deals. Every travel agent knows that the faster you respond to a client’s request, the higher your chance of securing the booking. Yet many agents still lose precious minutes, sometimes hours, typing out proposals, formatting emails, and double-checking fares. By the time the message lands in the client’s inbox, a competitor may already have closed the sale.

That’s exactly the problem Send Quotes in TTS WebAgent and Travelport Mobile Agent (TMA) was built to solve. In under a minute, you can prepare a polished, branded email with multiple trip options, add your mark-up, and hit send. Your client sees a professional proposal instantly, while your rivals are still typing command lines.

In today’s market, where clients expect near-real-time responses, speed isn’t just nice to have, it’s the difference between winning and losing business.

The importance of fast response is backed by research. A Harvard Business Review study on lead-response times found that businesses contacting leads within an hour were seven times more likely to qualify them than those that waited just one additional hour. The lesson is clear: the sooner you respond, the better your odds.

Travel is no exception. Clients who send out an enquiry often reach out to multiple agencies at once. The agent who replies first with a clear, attractive, and professional quote usually earns the booking.

Let’s imagine a scenario: It’s 3:30 p.m. A long-time client calls asking for flight options from Lisbon to New York, departing next Friday and returning the following Tuesday. You know they’re price-sensitive, but they also value comfort.

Without Send Quotes
You search flights, copy fares, paste them into a Word document or email draft, check formatting, maybe attach PDFs. You add your mark-up manually, but then you spot a mistake in the totals and need to re-calculate. By the time you’re done, 20 minutes, or more, have passed.

With Send Quotes
You select the flights in TTS WebAgent or Travelport Mobile Agent, add your mark-up, choose your agency’s branded template, and hit send. In less than a minute, your client receives a neat proposal with multiple trip options clearly laid out.

Which agent do you think the client is more likely to book with?

Send Quotes isn’t just about speed, it’s about professionalism and impact. Here’s why it stands out:

• Multiple options in one go: Give your client the choices without sending three separate emails.
• Instant mark-ups: Apply a percentage or flat fee, ensuring profitability is baked into every quote. No more manual math.
• Branded emails: Your agency logo and details appear automatically, reinforcing professionalism and client trust.
• One-click sharing: Quotes are delivered in a client-friendly layout that looks good on desktop and mobile.

In short, it transforms a routine task into a competitive advantage.

Responding quickly does more than increase conversion rates. It also reduces the mental drain of multitasking. By generating quotes instantly, you avoid breaking your workflow and free up time for more valuable tasks, like advising clients or finding new leads.

Let’s do the math:

• If you save 15 minutes per quote, and you prepare just six quotes per day, that’s 1.5 hours back daily.
• If even a fraction of those faster responses convert into bookings you might otherwise have lost, the revenue impact is huge.

That’s what makes Send Quotes not just a feature, but a business tool.

If you’re already a TTS WebAgent or Travelport Mobile Agent user, you have Send Quotes at your fingertips, no extra cost, no add-ons required. Simply look for the “Send Quotes” option when working with flight options, apply your mark-up, and send.
