Subject: Dakar and Alanya — before commitments are made
Reintroducing PIVOT ahead of the autumn calendar. Dakar and Alanya are the two trips that cost the most to get wrong, and we still hold our pickup data from working with you before. I would like to walk your team through the routing now rather than after bookings are placed.
If you call
Hi — we worked with USA Volleyball previously on group travel. I am calling about Dakar at the end of October. Are you the right person for the delegation travel?
If there is no reply
Ask the former account lead to forward the same note. A past-client reply rate is much higher on a forward.
Every name comes from the organization's own public pages
Make the timing count
Why the conversation matters now.
The public calendar carries 123 upcoming events, including a Youth Olympic Games delegation to Dakar at the end of October and Adult Grass Nationals in Nashville the same weekend.
Two very different travel problems in one account: long-haul delegation and domestic mass participation.
PIVOT has run this property before and still holds the historical block and pickup data.
Dakar is the hard one — visas, routing and a compressed two-week window.
