Not Just Travel has invested in excess of £2 million to provide its more than 650 consultants and franchisees with full, free access to a new quotation tool, which it says would otherwise have cost them around £1,000 each a year.
The homeworking and franchising outfit revealed its investment in TProfile at its annual conference earlier this month after forging a partnership with the business last year, which it outlined and launched to agents on a trial basis in September.
Not Just Travel said its consultants were often spending significant amounts of time designing quotes manually using platforms like Canva. It said TProfile’s quotation tool would allow its consultants to create "media-rich", multi-centre itineraries "in seconds", complete with high-quality imagery and video content, all of which can be packaged up in dynamic templates.
They can then share these quotes with clients via a variety of platforms, such as WhatsApp, email or simple text, allowing them to either make the booking immediately on the basis of the provided quote or make amendments with just a few clicks.
"If purchased independently, the quotation tool would cost consultants around £1,000 a year," said Not Just Travel co-founder Steve Witt. "By offering it for free to more than 650 consultants, we’re further demonstrating our commitment to empowering them to work smarter, not harder, and ultimately increase their profitability.”
Witt said the impact of the rollout had been "immediate and substantial", while Not Just Travel claimed "enthusiastic" take-up among consultants had "significantly" boosted efficiency, client engagement and conversation rates, although it did not provide figures.
One consultant, Jarrad Jones, said he had more than doubled sales conversations since he started using TProfile in September, adding it brought holiday planning to life – particularly through the addition of video content, which he said had been a winner with clients.
TProfile chief sales officer Bhav Taylor said: "Having completed a detailed review and trial process in mid-2024, TProfile quotes, CRM and tour operator product distribution was successfully delivered to more than 600 NJT agents in September.
"Following on from that, we are absolutely delighted NJT has committed to extending its relationship with TProfile. We look forward to extending our partnership and playing our part in supporting the company’s future growth."
