  • Click on 'Add to Quote' next to each course option you want to include.
  • Then, click on 'Create new quote'.

🔹 Assign the quote to a student

You have the option to assign the quote to an existing student by simply typing the student's name.

If the student hasn't been created in the system yet, you can easily add a new student profile by clicking on the plus icon, directly from this window.

  • Language: Choose the language in which the student will receive the quote information.
  • Due Date: Set the expiration date for the quote. The system permits you to set a validity period of up to one month for each quote.

⚠️ Important: Always check the expiration date of promotions for each quote option before setting the quote's due date. This ensures the prices you offer are accurate.

  • Assigned To: Select the counselor responsible for this quote.
  • Currency: Choose the currency for displaying the prices. ℹ️ Note that prices will automatically be shown in the school's local currency and in a secondary currency of your choice.

🔹 Edit your quote options - Add extra services

Easily modify each quote option by clicking the 'Edit' button.

Add Services

Here, you can add extra services like:

  • Accommodation: Choose from a variety of accommodation options provided by the school, select from your pre-saved accommodations, or customize completely for a unique offer.

  • Insurance: Add insurance options available through Edvisor. This action launches the insurance search tool, helping you quickly find and include the best insurance option in your quote.

  • Add-Ons: Incorporate additional services offered by the school, such as transfers or extra fees, include your own add-ons, or create one specifically for the quote.

  • Fees: Display any extra fees you've added to your platform, like visa fees or agency administration fees. Custom fees can also be added here if they haven't been pre-loaded into Edvisor.

After making adjustments, save your changes and repeat the process for each quote option as needed.

🔹 Include Additional Notes

You have the option to include notes with comments for the student - be it extra details about exchange rates, the quote's expiration date, guidance on selecting their preferred option, or anything else!
