An AI agent offers the right extra at the right moment, 24/7. ## The client already said yes, and that's where you leave money on the table A family booked a package to Punta Cana through you. Flight and hotel, done. But nobody offered them the travel insurance, the private airport transfer, the island excursion, the upgrade to an ocean-view room, or the romantic anniversary dinner. Those extras carry high margins and the client is already in buying mode. The problem isn't that they don't want them. It's that nobody offered them at the right moment, because your team already moved on to the next client. That easy money is left on the table every single day. And it gets recovered with an AI agent that knows each client, knows what they bought, and offers the right extra in the channel where the client is already chatting: WhatsApp. At Catalizadora we build agents that don't just answer and book. They also sell more to people who already bought from you, without sounding pushy and without your team having to remember every opportunity. ### Why upsell is the most profitable sale you have Winning a new client costs you money in ads. Selling more to one who already trusted you costs almost nothing: they already clicked, already paid, already believe in your agency. That's why the margin on upsell and cross-sell is so high. The challenge was always operational: nobody has time to re-contact every client with the perfect offer at the perfect moment. An AI agent solves exactly that: - It knows what each client booked and what's missing to round out the trip. - It offers the right extra at the right moment, not a generic discount for everyone. - It chats naturally, no pressure, in your brand's voice. - It closes the extra and sends the payment link in the same conversation. - It logs everything in the CRM so you know which extras sell best. ## Where the hidden money lives in every booking Let's look at a concrete example of cross-sell done right on top of a base package. ### The booking alone A client pays for a flight-plus-hotel package at, say, 1,800 dollars for two people. That's where the conversation ends. Your agency earned its commission on the package and nothing more. ### The booking with extras offered by the agent Days before the trip, the agent messages the client in your brand's voice: "Your Punta Cana trip is almost here. Shall we reserve the private airport transfer so you don't deal with taxis?". The client agrees. Then: "Many couples traveling on your dates add the Saona Island excursion, interested?". Another sale. Later: travel insurance, the ocean-view upgrade for the anniversary. Each offer is relevant because the agent knows what they bought and for which date. This isn't carpet-bombing discounts. It's offering what makes sense, when it makes sense. The average ticket climbs and the client feels you looked after their trip, not that you oversold them. Do the math on a modest scale. If your agency closes 50 packages a month and the agent adds just 150 dollars of high-margin extras to one in three, that's 2,500 dollars in profit you weren't capturing before, every month, on sales you'd already made. It compounds because it costs you nothing extra in advertising. You're squeezing more out of the clients you already paid to acquire. ## The four upsell opportunities your agency wastes 1. **The moment of booking.** Right after closing the package, the agent offers insurance and transfers, when willingness to pay is highest. 2. **The days before the trip.** The agent reminds the client and proposes tours and experiences, when they're already excited and planning. 3. **The emotional upgrade.** If it's an anniversary, honeymoon, or birthday, the agent suggests the room upgrade or the special dinner. 4. **The trip back.** After a good trip, the agent opens the conversation about the next destination, when the client is more receptive than ever. None of these require your team to remember anything. The agent does it on its own, for every client, all the time. No sticky notes, no spreadsheet reminders, no "I meant to follow up." The opportunity gets worked while it's still warm, every single time, even when your office is closed. ## The asset is yours, and so are the sales The agent we build is 100% yours: your agency's code, data, and infrastructure. No retainers, no locked-in licenses. The operation runs on a pass-through cost of 200 to 400 dollars a month for hosting and AI, with no margin from us. Whatever the agent sells in extras is clean profit for you, because there's no commission on your sales. MAGIA Solo costs 4,500 dollars and ships in 15 days. For agencies with a larger catalog and operation, MAGIA Core starts at 15,000 dollars. Either way the agent starts recovering the money you leave on the table in every booking today. ## Start with the next booking Think about the last package your agency sold. Did you offer insurance? A transfer? A tour? The upgrade? If the answer is no, there's your proof of how much easy money is walking out the door. Message our AI agent on WhatsApp and let it show you how it would cross-sell in your brand's voice, live.
