Hotel follow-up needs to be faster without turning uncertain call notes into commitments.
Market Managers need a usable next step quickly, while hotel partners need every discount and availability promise to remain accurate.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I left that call expecting a room plan, and my team is still asking what we actually agreed.”
Jens Solberg · Hotel General Manager · a character in this brief
Runs a family-owned hotel portfolio that relies on regular optimization calls to decide which rooms and discounts to make available.
What is at stake
Priority hotel calls are leaving conflicting notes across HotelTonight and Salesforce. You decide how far a call record travels toward a proposed next step before a Market Manager has to confirm the discount, the availability and the contact on the call.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- hotel partner promises vs account lead flexibility
- structured Salesforce records vs unstructured call detail
- seller control vs reduced manual note work
- availability gains vs downstream support clarity
Why AirBnB
