This was a master class on what hotels can do to generate new business. Jamie Sigler O’Grady dropped so many tips. Below are our favorite take aways. --How bejeweling Fergie's chain saw at the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego grand opening was one small creative idea that made big media waves. --Importance of mentoring and giving back to your community. When someone says "I can't afford the time to give back" the truth is that you can't afford to NOT give back. Your community is what is there for you and your business and can shorten the cycle of any business problem as they arise. --The power of actually working in the business that you represent first. --Have a milestone gift or experience for your employees at 5, 10, 15+ years. People look forward to it. --You don't want to be all things to all people. Focus on one or two things and niche down. --Stay true to your brand, to who you are. Take a listen to the link below.

For some companies, long-term business relationships are rare – but not at HotelREZ Hotels & Resorts We’re proud to have worked with many of our clients for over a decade and many since our foundation 20 years ago so we firmly believe that longevity is key to ongoing success. Alessandra Leoni, head of commercial at Resident Hotels, spoke to Boutique Hotelier about what makes our 13-year partnership with them productive. The commercial results speak for themselves – but they’re driven by a continuity and stability in our team, our attention to detail, and desire to really understand the products we represent. Said Leoni: “At a basic level, HotelREZ are our GDS provider but they’re much more than that. They understand what our [commercial] strategy is, and find opportunities that work for us, such as their corporate programmes, nice marketing activities, events, and agency visits. “Working with HotelREZ opens doors for us. They’re not only a tech company; they’re even more than a consultancy. As we’ve matured in the market as a brand, we’ve needed a wide range of support, with some hand-holding and expertise to fill gaps in our team and assist with our workload. HotelREZ has consistently provided that.” See the comments below for the link to the full article.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending my first FRZ Business Lunch at the Mövenpick Hotel Restaurant at Zurich Airport – the very first Mövenpick location worldwide, steeped in history. ✨  💼 Picture 15-20 tables, each buzzing with conversations and ideas sparking across the room – it was networking at its finest!   The value of these moments goes far beyond business. With every story shared – the challenges, the wins, the journeys – I walked away not only with new insights but feeling like I’d grown personally too.  💡 It’s a unique inspiration to learn firsthand how others tackle obstacles and forge their own paths. 🚀  Now I’m curious: where do you go to connect and find this kind of inspiration? What are the events or conversations that have left a lasting impact on you?   Let’s share and grow together – I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences! 😊 #Networking #ProfessionalGrowth #BugBounty #EthicalHacking #Inspiration #BusinessConnections #BusinessLunch
