EXCLUSIVE: How to be a number 1 agent

You told Excite Holidays you wanted more flexibility, more control over your bookings and the power to be more competitive.

Well they listened and created the most innovative tool yet – FlexiComm.

FlexiComm gives you the flexibility to tailor your bookings to suit each and every one of your clients, letting you push commission up or drag it back down so you control how much you get with every booking.

It empowers you with the tools you need to completely customise your sell price based on your client, and the competition.

And it’s easy too! We break it down for you:

FlexiComm means that you’ll be able to adjust the level of commission each time you make a booking and for each item, and control the profitability of each booking by setting your own gross rate at the time of payment.
In the style that Excite Holidays is well known for, FlexiComm has been developed to be easy to use and seamlessly integrates into the wholesaler’s current booking process.
You can slide the commission you would like to apply up or down depending on your client, and change it so you can increase your bottom line or reduce it to be more competitive.

According to Excite Holidays’ CTO, Damian Sutton, who shared the news first with Travel Weekly, this is the “first of many” features to come out of Excite, with a clear focus on “delivering the ultimate flexibility and simplicity to our travel agent partners.”

‘FlexiComm provides the tools to allow agents to be more flexible and provide the best service,” Sutton told Travel Weekly.

“It will make agents more effective at converting prospective customers, and they don’t need to reveal or use the commission slider when with the customer.”

Sutton said it gives agents “ultimate control” and if they don’t wish to alter their default commission settings, it’s just “business as usual”.

“The agents will have ultimate flexibility over what commission to set. It can reduce costs so agents can compete with other agents and offer a better deal, and control a price that best suits their clients.”

“Get ready for many more features like FlexiComm.”
