Old Quote & Estimate Follow-Up Campaigns for Tour Operators

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We start every campaign by choosing a genuine reason to reconnect — a seasonal departure with new availability, a fresh angle on the original itinerary, or a limited window that's actually useful to the traveler. You approve every script and offer before anything is sent, so the tone always matches your brand. The goal is that it feels useful, not pushy.","question":"How do I follow up on old tour quotes without sounding pushy to potential guests?"},{"answer":"Yes. We work from your list exactly as it is — a CRM export, a spreadsheet, or a point-of-sale list. There's no software to buy, no integration project, and no new booking system to learn. We segment it by recency and unsold quotes, then run the campaign on your behalf.","question":"Can you work with the quote list straight from my tour operator booking software or Travel CRM?"},{"answer":"We work only from lists of real customers and inquiries, honor opt-outs immediately, and follow all calling and texting regulations. The booking flow collects explicit consent, and every message goes out in your business's name with your approval first.","question":"What does compliance look like when you're calling and texting past inquiries on our behalf?"},{"answer":"Win-back campaigns typically run two to four weeks end-to-end, and replies often start arriving as soon as the first wave goes out. Before any of that, the free list review shows you your rate, setup, and what your list can realistically produce.","question":"How long does an old-quote win-back campaign take to run for a tour operator?"},{"answer":"Email automation is a tool you have to build, write, and monitor yourself. CallMyCustomers is a done-for-you service: real humans make calls on your behalf, texts and emails go out in your business's name, and every reply is routed back into your booking process. Pricing is a flat setup fee plus 9¢–21¢ per outreach minute — no per-seat or software pricing, and texts and emails are included in the quote rather than billed separately.","question":"How is this different from setting up tour operator email automation myself?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free list review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your quote and inquiry list — CRM, spreadsheet, or point-of-sale export, exactly as it is.

Meanwhile, your old quote pile keeps growing: custom itineraries, group tour estimates, and shoulder-season proposals that never converted sit untouched in your Travel CRM or spreadsheet.
