Who
A hospitality operator running short-stay properties, doing all the bookings herself, while already holding down the rest of the job.
The problem
Empty nights are money that never comes back, and so is a full night sold too cheap. Watching both, all day, every day, is a job on its own. Nothing was broken: enquiries arrived faster than one person could answer them, and prices were set once and left alone while the market moved underneath them.
What I built
| Stage | What I did | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Answer | One agent takes the booking conversation from the first enquiry. | Replies at the speed enquiries arrive |
| Watch | A price watch on what comparable places are charging that night. | The market, read nightly |
| Price | A read on demand, so a busy weekend gets charged like one. | Nights sold for what they were worth |
| Hand back | The moment anything looks unusual, it stops and hands the conversation to her. | She keeps the judgement calls |
| Fit in | Plugged into the tools she already used, so nothing was replaced and nothing new had to be learned. | No migration, no training |
Results
- A$26,915 booked in the first twelve days on the new setup.
- 92% occupancy against a 67% market rate, and the nights that sold went for what they were worth.
- She never had to learn a new tool. It runs inside what she already had.
What she owns now
The agent, in her accounts, in her name. It keeps running whether we are involved or not.
