“If it's cheaper I'll use you if it's not I'll use the cruise line.”
Contact Regent within 24 hours to obtain final travel protection pricing and coverage details for the two regional sailings already booked, then send Paul a side-by-side comparison with the alliance vendor option so he can decide before proceeding to deposit. Simultaneously, send the Disney Magic cruise quote with room hold details and available hotel options (with Pan Pacific highlighted as familiar choice).
Full analysis
What happened
Paul called to provide detailed passenger information for a Disney Magic cruise booking (June 10-17, 2027) for multiple family members across two separate guest profiles to qualify for referral bonuses. Nick systematically collected full names, birthdates, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses for Paul's immediate family (Paul Jr., Tara, and their children) and for Daniel, Victoria, Caroline, and Henry May (likely grandchildren or extended family). Nick also confirmed room preferences (one ocean view and one inside cabin, same level) and discussed pre-cruise hotel options, with Paul expressing familiarity with the Pan Pacific. The call concluded with discussion of travel insurance options for both the Disney cruise and existing Regent bookings; Paul indicated he would use the cheaper option (likely Regent vendor protection) and Nick agreed to investigate Regent's specific coverage and pricing before proceeding. Nick secured Paul's existing Visa on file for payment processing.
Emotional read
Paul was patient and cooperative throughout, despite some frustration about not knowing all the birthdates and middle names for his extended family members. He showed warmth when discussing his Saint Louis roots with the agent and maintained good humor when his daughter was mentioned. Overall tone was pragmatic and transactional but with moments of levity.
Emotional arc through the call
Remained steady and cordial throughout, though showed mild frustration when scrambling to find birthdates and middle names for extended family members; the shared Saint Louis connection briefly elevated rapport and warmth in the middle section of the call.
How customer sees Pavlus
- positive · customer mentioned Tyler from customer relations helped with transfers and second night arrangements for Hong Kong spring trip
- positive · customer said he always prefers to book with travel agent vs cruise line directly, implying established trust with Pavlus
Value perception
Paul stated 'If it's cheaper I'll use you if it's not I'll use the cruise line' regarding insurance, indicating he views Pavlus competitively but price-driven; however, his history of booking multiple trips and his openness to the referral bonus structure suggests underlying trust in the agency despite price sensitivity.
Customer behaviors

Closing technique
Attempt: none Outcome: no_close_attempted Payment: discussed
Signals the agent didn't act on:
- customer said 'I think I'm getting insurance through you' — agent acknowledged but did not explicitly confirm the Disney cruise would include protection or ask Paul to decide immediately on insurance type
- customer provided credit card expiration and confirmed Visa on file, but agent did not ask about moving forward with deposit or payment for any of the three trips at that time

I want to get that done first and then we can tackle the hotel that you're interested in. Do you have any specific interest in a certain hotel or like, are you kind of open to suggestions. Customer: Well we've been using every other time. I've used the, any Pana is a pan Pacific which is right across the street from the terminal almost but I'm open to anything. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Mm-hmm. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Okay, alrighty, that'll be easier to do. Let me get the cruise done first and then I can send you over quotes for everything and then we can engage my guest relations team to work on some potential hotel options for you guys. Customer: Okay. Customer: Okay, perfect. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Perfect. Yeah, well, I really appreciate your help. I felt like I was badgering you as well trying to get all this information. Yeah, and like I said I. Customer: Oh. And my daughter thinks I'm badgering her, so. Customer: I wouldn't be surprised, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the names that I gave you are the way they have their passports but we will find out. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Yeah. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Yeah, we can make adjustments. It's just I with Disney specifically and then all the vendors I deal with. I really like to get all my eyes dotted in ease cross just so that way we've got everything correct the first time so that, that's kind of the reason why I was, you know, wanting to get all this stuff put together first so that way we can tackle everything at one time and, and get it all correct? Customer: Okay. Customer: Alright, and was it Tyler who's in customer relations called me? She's, you probably know this already but she helped me with the transfers and the second night for the Hongkong trip in the spring. Yeah, okay. Alright, that's it. That's all now way I wanna make sure I think I'm getting insurance through you. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Yeah. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Mm-hmm. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Mm-hmm mm-hmm yeah, I saw that. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Perfect, sir. Well, I appreciate. Yeah. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): For which trip? Customer: Both all. Oh, I always want to do insurance and I'd rather do it. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): For, for the. Customer: I think in the past, I've always used. Customer: The vendor I mean the travel agent instead of the cruise line. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Okay. Customer: If it's cheaper I'll use you if it's not I'll use the cruise line. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Okay, typically from a pricing standpoint I see protection cheaper through the vendors themselves. I can offer alliance which is our preferred third party travel provider for protection, they do run a little bit more higher price than protection through the vendor but they do also cover user vendor. Okay. I right now just because I'm familiarizing myself with the trips that you already have planned. I know you had the two regions region sailings for next year. Customer: Then, I'll then use, then use the vendor. Customer: Correct. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): I am pulling these invoices up now. Customer: Are there, is there insurance on there? Agent (Nick Bazzoni): I am not seeing travel protection added on either the region bookings that we have for you right now. Customer: And you think the regent price point is going to be better than the agent. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Potentially let me call region and kind of find out some more information on it. I, I'm not a hundred percent certain on the specifics of region but I know sometimes for trail protection through vendors that needs to be added within a certain time period, from deposit for it to cover like Pregis conditions for health reasons or we could also, we can add it at time before final payment as well. So I want to get more specifics on the region protection for you. And then typically if we add it with the vendor, they would need to also take payment of the protection as well at that time. Customer: Uh-huh. Customer: Okay. Customer: Yeah. And you have a credit. Yeah. I don't think you have my credit card. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): So, let me find out that. I'm sorry. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): We might have it on file let me check. I have got a visa on file that ends in 4346. Customer: Intro. Customer: And what's the expiration date? Agent (Nick Bazzoni): January 2030. Customer: You got it. That's it, that's the one. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Okay perfect so let me advise region on what their policy is with trial protection. What pricing would be I'm more than happy I could send you a quote for alliance as well for the trial protection. If you wanted me to but let me find out regent first before I do any. Customer: Yeah, do region person and if it's, if it's cheaper than just go with, or if it's the same, our cheaper go with region. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Okay, and then I'll put trial protection for the Disney booking as well too, okay? Excellent sir. Alrighty, well I will get this all done for you and send you over the quote for the Disney cruise very first. Then I'll contact regent about protection for your sailing with them. And then I think we will be all set. Customer: Yes. Customer: Alrighty. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): My pleasure sir. Well, thank you so much for your business and any referrals you sent our way and I've got everybody right now listed as you as the referral. So once we move forward and deposit and, and after you guys sale on this trip, then you'd get those referral bonuses for everybody involved. Customer: Alright and if when I get the information from Victoria I will send it to you just so she thinks that you didn't have anything before but I so don't, don't think I'm crazy when I send you a copy you on the, our forward her information to you, okay. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Okay, yeah. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Yeah. Agent (Nick Bazzoni): Okay, works for me. Alright, thank you sir. Bye. Customer: Alright, I get it. Thanks Nick. Bye.
