I am really admiring Norah Casey these days, and very much enjoying her style in “The Takeover”. Her number one tip for business this year is to offer new services and try something different. So that is what I have done –
I have launched a new service for hotels. It is called the Conference Experience – and it shows hotels how to attract conference business. I have even made up my own word for it “Conference-ising” Hotels. The service does not exist in the market at the moment.
Have you ever done a site inspection of a hotel and thought – that hotel is great for weddings but they obviously don’t do many conferences? So many hotels in Ireland concentrated on the wedding market for the last few years as it was easier business to get – I have done hundreds of site inspections or tours of hotels over the last few years and little or no effort was put into it on the part of the hotel sales staff, that is very frustrating. Hotels are speaking to the conference organiser the same way they would to a bride. That will never inspire confidence in the conference organiser….
I show hotels how to speak to the conference organiser, in their language and do a wow site inspection. There is a lot of interest in it and I am getting fantastic feedback – most hotels don’t realise that they are not talking in the language of their clients. I show them how – it comes from years of being shown a hotel in the wrong way. I also show hotels how to book conference and meeting business from the traffic already going through their lobby.
Great, simple tips that are easy to implement and start booking business from immediately. Here are some tips on how to do a fantastic site inspection that will convert into business.
