“I just wanted to see if there's an additional tablet discount we've booked with you guys before but very long before, like pre COVID.”

Full analysis
What happened
An existing Pavlus customer called to confirm pricing and discount structure for a Tauck escorted tour departing in about ten days for a party of five. The customer had already checked availability with agent Triger that morning and now needed Heather to clarify whether Pavlus's ~10% booking discount stacks on top of Tauck's 15% website promotion, and whether add-ons like insurance and prepaid gratuities could be purchased through Pavlus. Heather confirmed both points: the discount stacks, and add-ons can be booked together with the main tour. The customer indicated they would finalize details with family and then book. No deposit was taken or commitment locked in during the call.
Emotional read
The customer was businesslike and organized, moving methodically through pricing and policy questions. They were polite and appreciative but transactional in tone. No signs of anxiety or hesitation—they were simply gathering final clarifications before committing. The tone remained consistent and calm throughout.
Emotional arc through the call
Steady throughout: the customer remained organized, courteous, and focused, with no emotional shift during the brief call.
How customer sees Pavlus
- positive · customer is a returning client ('we've booked with you guys before') and initiated contact proactively to confirm pricing before booking
- positive · customer seemed confident in the process and praised Pavlus's ability to bundle add-ons ('those things that you guys can like have a pre purchase as well')
Value perception
Customer appeared comfortable with Pavlus's value proposition—they came back as a repeat client and structured the call to confirm Pavlus could add value (stacking discount + bundling add-ons) before proceeding.

I just needed to get some confirmation on what the price would be for HR Folger escorted tour that's actually departing in about a week and a half. I was finally able to confirm the vacation dates and availability and everybody for a party of five and I spoke with Triger this morning just to make sure that their spaces available and they said that there were but I just wanted to see if there's an additional tablet discount we've booked with you guys before but very long before, like pre COVID. So just wanted to see if you confirm if there's a discount and if there's then what the price might be. Agent (Heather Baca): Yeah. Agent (Heather Baca): Okay. Agent (Heather Baca): Yeah, Folger we offer approximately ten percent discount of the booking. Customer: Okay, ten percent, but then they're having a fifteen percent off still on their website, so it's a ten percent off of that. It's on top of whatever they already offer. Is that correct? Agent (Heather Baca): Yeah, it just goes on top of that. Agent (Heather Baca): Yes. Customer: Okay. And so, so it would just be whatever the bulk like the final price of like the five people, whatever worm configuration we decide on. Then we would ask you guys to book it and then you'd be able to provide numbers on, on top of that, that's right. Okay, and then the, if we wanted to purchase like insurance or they said there was something like prepaid gratuity for the driver and the tour guy. Those things are, those things, things that you guys can like have a pre purchase as well or the things that are only like payable through the directly. Agent (Heather Baca): Yup, yes. Agent (Heather Baca): No, we would just add them on to the booking with tri fog and then we would, you would just pay from there. It doesn't matter if you book through them or through us like if you, if you had us do it, we would book everything together and then say later down the line you're like, okay, let's add the gratuities. We would just cultural add the gratuities. On and have you pay them. Customer: Okay. Customer: Okay, and then last week, so then the ten percent doesn't apply to that, it just applies to like, the base price of the tour. Is that right? Agent (Heather Baca): Correct, yes. Customer: Okay, okay that's really helpful. Okay, that, that's all I needed to know. Thank you so much. I'm gonna finalize with my family and then hopefully book him.
