The joke's on you! Often, Directors of Sales don't have good relationships with a DOS nearby, especially a different brand. Well, I represent Marriott, and I have not one but two amazing relationships with a DOS from Hyatt and one from Hilton!! Did I mention that we're all in the same comp set? Charleston is a growing market, and the honest truth is that we can't take it all, no matter how much we try. Here are three reasons why you should partner or have a great relationship with your neighbors.
🫱🏻🫲🏾 Collaborative Opportunities: Building a strong relationship with another DOS near your hotel opens the door to collaboration. By sharing insights, market trends, and strategies, you can collectively address challenges and capitalize on opportunities, benefiting both of your establishments.
📨 Referral Network: A positive relationship with a nearby DOS can lead to a mutually beneficial referral network. If one hotel is fully booked or doesn't meet a guest's specific needs, having a trusted connection nearby can result in referrals, enhancing guest satisfaction and fostering a sense of community within the local hospitality industry.
📈 Combined Marketing Efforts: Working closely with another DOS allows for the potential to pool resources for marketing efforts. Joint promotions, local events, or cross-promotions can amplify both hotels' visibility, attracting a broader audience and strengthening the overall hospitality presence in the area.
So, what are you waiting for? Go say hello!
