In this webcast, Doug will present ideas for transitioning reservation agents from their “farmer” role into a new role as “sales hunters!” Presented are:
- Sample dialogue for turning inbound calls that cannot be closed into leads.
- Suggested mediums for proactive follow-up.
- A recommended cadence for follow-up reach-outs.
- Using a “tech for touch” approach to personalize follow-up messaging.
“The reservations teams at most lodging companies are typically exclusively focused on responding to inbound inquiries coming in via phone, email and direct messages received on apps such as OTA’s,” said Doug Kennedy. “Smart leaders have already taken the first step, which is sales training to help agents evolve from order takers to be order makers. Now it’s time to push onward to the next era.”
