GTO System Updates
Currency Conversion and Airline Quoting now live in Sales Manager
Both new systems were launched last week in Sales Manager. To find out more, check out last weeks Coach & Go for a quick demo. If you need more information please reach out and we will be happy to provide additional training.
Have you used the “Quick Quote” Feature in Sales Manager with our partners Travel Advocates or Book My Group?
If you haven’t tried these hotel experts yet to help you find a hotel, give them a try. With the “quick quote” feature you can send a quote instantly through Group Travel Odyssey and they will actually respond in the system with your options. Then all you have to do is choose the one you want and the system will automatically add it to your products! It is that easy! Plus, you have all the options attached to your trip for future reference should you need to make a change. Let us know if you need additional training on this time saving feature!
New Integration with Broadway Inbound coming soon
We have just finished testing a new integration with Broadway Inbound where Group Travel Odyssey members will be able to see all shows that are on sale, including the ticket prices, for the dates of their trip. This will give you live, up-to-date information for you to share with your client without ever having to leave the system! More details are coming soon. Isn’t it great that Broadway is open again!
