Niches Selling � Locating Lucrative Business
that Few Hotels Pursue
.

.
August 25, 2010 - Chris Anderson, Editor of Wired, published a book called the Long Tail and in it said that ��the future of internet search was to appeal to �niches� of the population versus the masses.�  Seth Godin describes these �niches� as tribes.  Within every market segment there are �niches� -- they don�t equate with small they equate with specialized.

Tired of �plowing� the same old ground in prospecting?  This is an advanced look at how to locate special �niches� in all segments � looking for lucrative business that none of your competitors are going after.  This program is a more sophisticated approach for sales professionals that want to develop new business at the next level. 

Corporate � each vertical has different niches

  • Where to look
  • How to reach out to them
SMERFE � the category has many niches beyond the obvious
  • Example:  Wine tasting clubs
    • Less focused on rate
    • Good for repeat business
    • How to locate 
Government 
  • Multiple �niches� based on sub categories
  • Subcontractors � look beyond the obvious
    • Many sub contractor types �fly under the radar�
Associations
  • Niches are often easy to locate on national association web sites
  • Small enough for one property


At the end of this web cast Directors of Sales, Sales Managers  and General Managers will have a better understanding of how to take their sales efforts to the next level and will have received tools to prospect new �niches� of business from existing market segments. 

The web cast will take place on September 1 at 1:00pm EST, noon CDT, 11:00am MDT and 10:00am PDT.  The fee is $99 for a single connection and $89 for two or more connections from the same company. To register click here.  All participants will receive the recording of this program.
