Avi-Go Trip Board: Your Key to 15% Faster Deal Closures

Introduction

In the competitive world of business aviation, brokers often face challenges with slow deal closures and limited access to the best options for their clients. Without a centralized inquiry hub, operators may miss key opportunities, and brokers struggle to provide timely quotations that lead to successful deals. This inefficiency can significantly impact both win rates and overall productivity.

Avi-Go Trip Board is designed to solve these problems by offering a centralized inquiry pool, where operators can access a wider range of incoming requests and provide more competitive quotations. By streamlining the process and increasing the number of options available to brokers, Trip Board helps operators respond faster, increasing the chance of closing deals.

With Avi-Go Trip Board, operators can increase their deal closure efficiency by 15%, making it easier to deliver timely, relevant options to brokers and secure more business. In this article, we’ll walk you through how Avi-Go Trip Board works and the key benefits it brings to improving your deal closure rates.

Key Obstacles in Securing Deals for Business Aviation

Without the Avi-Go Trip Board, brokers and operators often face several key challenges that can significantly hinder the deal closure process:

• Limited Inquiry Visibility: Operators often struggle to see all incoming inquiries in one place, leading to missed opportunities and delayed responses, which hinders the ability to act quickly on high-demand requests.
• Inefficient Communication: Without a centralized inquiry hub, brokers must manually sift through multiple inquiries to find the best matches for their clients. This process is time-consuming and limits the ability to quickly engage with multiple operators.
• Slow Response Times: Delayed responses from operators reduce the likelihood of closing deals. In the fast-paced business aviation industry, slow quotes can push clients to competitors, decreasing win rates and overall satisfaction.
• Missed Opportunities: When operators lack visibility of all inquiries, they can miss valuable opportunities, leading to lost business. A lack of timely access to inquiries means brokers may not secure key deals in time.
• Lack of Competitive Options: Brokers may struggle to gather multiple quotes from different operators quickly, limiting their ability to offer clients the best possible solutions, which reduces their chances of closing deals.

Leveraging Avi-Go Trip Board: How Brokers and Operators Can Boost Deal Efficiency

Traditional Sourcing Method vs. Trip Board-Enabled Process

In the traditional business aviation industry, operators are often limited to dealing with direct inquiries from brokers who specifically request their quotes. This process is usually fragmented and time-consuming. Operators are required to wait for brokers to reach out and provide specific details, leading to slower response times and fewer opportunities to engage with new inquiries.

However, with Avi-Go Trip Board, operators can access a pool of requests from brokers, whether they were initially designated to quote or not. This not only saves time but also opens up opportunities for operators to quote on a variety of inquiries they might not have otherwise seen. The ability to engage with a wider range of inquiries directly leads to faster deal closure and increased efficiency.

How Operators Access and Respond to Inquiries

• Access to Multiple Inquiries: Once inquiries are posted to the Trip Board, operators gain access to all relevant requests, regardless of whether the broker initially reached out to them. They can quickly browse through multiple inquiries, view the details, and identify which requests align with their services or expertise and send quotes.

• Enhanced Inquiry Filtering for Operators: Operators can filter inquiries by regions, departure cities and destinations, radius, departure date, and flexible days. These powerful filtering options allow operators to quickly identify and prioritize the inquiries that best match their capabilities. By focusing on highly relevant requests, operators can ensure they are responding to the highest-quality leads, increasing the likelihood of securing deals.

• Faster Responses: Trip Board allows operators to quickly act on inquiries that closely match their resources and service. By simply clicking on the arrow button to view detailed trip information, operators can access more broker details, such as contact info, to ensure a smooth quoting process. Operators have the flexibility to provide a variety of quotations, showing their adaptability to different needs. Additionally, they can leave notes for brokers with any important details or considerations. Once the quote is ready, operators can send it directly to brokers, speeding up the response time and improving the chances of securing the deal.

How Brokers Post Inquiries on Avi-Go Trip Board

• Brokers Submit Inquiries: When brokers submit trip requests through the Avi-Go Empty Leg or Aircraft Search tools, their inquiries are automatically posted to the Trip Board, providing visibility to a wider range of operators. The inquiries will contain key details such as the departure date, departure cities and destinations, trip type, pax number and post date, ensuring operators have all the information needed to assess whether they can fulfill the request.

• Visibility Control for Brokers: Brokers can easily manage their inquiries on the Trip Board using the “My Posts Only” button, which acts as a quick filter to view only the inquiries they have posted. This feature allows brokers to efficiently track and manage their own requests amidst others. If brokers wish to limit responses to specific operators, they can choose to hide or delete inquiries from the Trip Board. Additionally, once a broker has received enough quotes or decided to move forward with a particular offer, they can remove their inquiries from the board to prevent further responses.
