60 Seconds To Success

Fully explore what your PMS and booking engine can do to improve your conversion rate and average order value.  A good example is using the proper urgency messages that may (and should) be built into the shopping process.  If a room is popular or is in limited inventory, it should be highlighted with a message to drive a potential guest to book right away.  Another example would be hoteliers who think of additional services/add-ons as an afterthought.  

I’d also love to talk about accessing the “second wallet” and upgrading rooms between booking and stay, but that would be getting beyond my 60-second window.
