ReadyRooms is giving travel agents more control over the cost of their clients’ holidays, with a new ‘Name Your Own Price’ functionality.
Available through search, compare and booking site, ReadyRooms, it allows agents to increase the total value of a booking by a maximum of 25 percent.
It also means they can now discount the value of their gross booking from the original Gross Sell Price to the Nett Sell Price.
Plus, consultants can now choose to absorb the credit card merchant fee from their total commission owing, or continue to add this independently to the Gross Sell Price.
Qantas Holidays and Viva! Holidays’ Head of Sales, said through ‘Name Your Own Price’ (NYOP) agents will be able to add service fees and discount to regular clients.
“As a business we are committed to providing products and services that add value to the travel agent equation, and to using technology improvements as the lever to make it easier to do business with us.”
Peter Egglestone, Qantas Holidays and Viva! Holidays’ General Manager for Wholesale
“It just made good business sense to leverage the very successful NYOP product launched by Air Tickets a few years back and adapt the concept it to our own environment. Our agency partners have told us this will be very empowering.”
Mr Egglestone added that NYOP is just the beginning of new technological enhancements this year.
