Hotel Sales Industry needs to Start Rethinking Web Site as Sales Tools

WebEventPlanner.com now offers the hotel sales industry web tools and services to help set policies and procedures for managing virtual sales.

“Hotel sales professionals need to take a look at their sales materials and examine how they sell in the virtual world,” says Louis Godin, owner of http://www.WebEventPlanner.com. “Changes to downloaded resources, such as .doc and .pdf for example, are not reflected on files already delivered to clients, and less inventory can save hotel sales professionals time and money.”

WebEventPlanner.com’s web tools now allow hotel sales professionals to organize not only all sales and facility materials, but also the process for delivering this information to clients. These tools deliver sales information in a format that updates across the inventory enterprise - regardless of when a client receives it.

"Web sites are good," says Louis Godin, owner of http://www.WebEventPlanner.com, "but the hotel sales industry has lost track of the fundamentals of selling. Personal attention has been lacking in the sales process through most web sites. Sales 101, tells us the importance of things such as building rapport, education, client name/information displayed, communicating information quickly, and providing special personal attention above and beyond everyone else."

http://www.WebEventPlanner.com is a provider of common sense approaches to sales and marketing in the virtual world. Since 1999 Louis Godin, owner ofhttp://www.VirtualSalesProfessional.com and http://www.WebEventPlanner.com, has provided clients with Internet Sales and Catering Sales Resource Development and Consulting.

Hotel Sales Industry has Lost Track of the Fundamentals of Selling

WebEventPlanner.com now offers the hotel sales industry a way to think outside the box when it comes to web sites and search engines through virtual presentation of services.

Web sites are good marketing tools, but marketing does not close the sale. Studies have shown that 85% of those who respond first to an inquiry with complete sales information and provide personal attention to the client will win the business.

"Web sites are good," says Louis Godin, owner of http://www.WebEventPlanner.com, "but the hotel sales industry has lost track of the fundamentals of selling. Personal attention has been lacking in the sales process through most web sites. Sales 101, tells us the importance of things such as building rapport, education, client name/information displayed, communicating information quickly, and providing special personal attention above and beyond everyone else."

And, increasingly, businesses of all sizes are recognizing that being first on any major search engines costs money. Good search engines ranking is not something that just happens, and the Internet is filled with fraud. The hotel sales industry must look at other options to make web sites a viable sales tool, such as virtual presentation of services offered.

http://www.webeventplanner.com now provides hotel sales professionals with web sites that are tangible sales tools - offering all the necessary features needed to present and close a sale efficiently in one phone call.

Hotel Sales Industry Web Sites are Falling Short of their Potential

WebEventPlanner.com now offers the hotel sales industry a way to organize its virtual sales procedures and begin presenting virtual information with traditional sales standards.

"Web sites are good," says Louis Godin, owner of http://www.WebEventPlanner.com, "but the hotel sales industry has lost track of the fundamentals of selling.

The hotel sales industry must begin presenting sales information by traditional sales standards whereby web sites are virtual sales presentation tools to be viewed by the client under the guidance of a sales professional. WebEventPlanner.com’s web tools for hotel sales professionals now enable on-the-spot virtual property site inspection presentations to each inquiry and sales call.
