Studies show that most people will be vacationing locally this coming summer. Most hotel web sites are geared toward corporate travel and conventions. Hotels should be highlighting such things as summer specials, guest room promotions, local attraction specials, special promotions, Internet promotions, catering specials, and bar and restaurant specials to bring these services to the forefront of their web sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Web sites are great sales tools," says Louis Godin of WebEventPlanner.com, "but web site information needs to change as the market changes. What may have been popular in organizing a web site a year or two ago will not be as effective in terms of sales this year." Taking the steps now to realign existing web site marketing information will help hotels weather the current financial storm and provide them the tools needed to capture additional local and transient business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WebEventPlanner.com is a provider of common sense and cost-effective approaches to Virtual Hotel Internet Marketing and Hotel On Line Advertising.

"Anyone who has a service to sell would benefit from these Sales E-Packet tools. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;HotelEPacket.com provides extraordinary customer service, consistently responds within 24 hours and always provides added value above what was promised! In addition, I am responsible for selling two hotel properties in Spokane, and I use HotelEPacket.com at one of my properties as a beta test. I can really tell the difference in closing business with HotelEPacket.com virtual sales programsbetween the two hotel properties. I am now in the process of bringing all our properties on board with HotelEPacket.com." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There are many steps in the sale process to close a sale," says Louis Godin of HotelEPacket.com. "Virtual tools and training from HotelEPacket.com will cut costs and automate sales procedures while personalizing the virtual sales process to provide the attention you know every guest needs.

Quick, easy and up-to-date information is no longer available. In order to find the information they are looking for, clients may have to go to a corporate web site or independent web site and access e-mails, attachments, word documents, links, web programs and PDF brochures or resort to faxes, phone calls and snail-mail. What happened to one-on-one personal attention to help a client decide on services? The Internet has taken away the personal edge that hospitality sales once had before web site development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sales 101 tells us the importance of building rapport, education, communicating accurate information quickly and providing special personal attention above and beyond the competition. This practice no longer exists with online resources. Web sites often are built to reflect a web designer's technical goals and restrictions instead of the goals and needs of the sales Industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How to Organize and Conduct a Virtual - Paperless - Sales Call" is available now from Louis Godin, Virtual Sales Specialist of &lt;a href="http://www.hotelepacket.com/"&gt;http://www.HotelEPacket.com&lt;/a&gt;.

(By Louis Godin - Virtual Sales Specialist - HotelEPacket.com - E-Mail Contact - published 01.27.09) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hotels are losing millions of dollars each year by unorganized virtual sales procedures and the lack of virtual sales training of its sales and catering sales staff! Furthermore the hotel industry needs to start incorporating traditional "Sales 101" selling techniques to its virtual sales procedures to ensure closing new business and giving them the extra edge above their competitors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Internet offers many cost effective (even free) resources and tools to forward virtually unlimited sales information to capture prospective business! Web sites are good marketing tools but they do not provide hotel and event planning sales professionals with the resources and education needed to streamline the service sales process to each sales and inquiry call. Distribution and presentation of your virtual sales material instantly and professionally - while providing personal attention to the guest - can make the difference between the sale and lost business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Studies have shown that 85% of those who respond first to an inquiry with complete sales information and provide personal attention to the guest will win the business. Complete sales and catering information should be presented within the first few seconds of an inquiry or sales call. One of the first things a Sales or Catering Sales Managers should be asking when receiving an inquiry or sales call is; are you sitting in front of a computer, if the guest is, then this gives the sales professional a visual option for the guest to review as they follow along with your virtual presentation of services. Once the call is completed there should be no need to access e-mails, send attachments, word documents, web links, powerpoints and PDF brochures or resort to faxes and snail-mail to complete the inquiry or sales call (other then a follow up).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today's full services and limited service hotel web sites have been built to reflect the web designer's technical goals and restrictions instead of the goals and needs of the hotel sales and catering sales professional. Traditional web sites do not provide the virtual tools, knowledge and training hotel sales and catering sales staff members need to close the sale with one phone call. 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 and catering sales industry must look at additional virtual options to make web sites a viable sales tool, such as instant virtual presentation of services offered and providing hotel sales and catering sales staff member with cost effective virtual tools needed to closes the sale quickly and effectively, saving both time and money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The hotel sales industry must start analyzing its cost effective virtual options, organize its virtual sales procedures, train its sales staff and begin distributing and presenting sales information to include traditional sales standards to ensure an increase in profits and a decrease in annual marketing budgets. Further consideration, from a business perspective, must be given to the millions dollars of misdirected revenues in production and postage each year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Consumers are still looking for personal attention and outstanding customer service in the hospitality sales industry. Simply having a web site is not enough to bring attention or cut cost. Setting policies, procedures and training on how virtual information is handled and presented for selling guest rooms, facility services and event facilities is key to reducing your annual sales budget and increasing new business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the age of computers and Internet, it's easy to lose touch with guests. Quick, easy and up-to-date information is no longer available. In order to find the information they are looking for, guests may have to go to a corporate web site or independent web site and access e-mails, attachments, word documents, links, web programs and PDF brochures or resort to faxes, phone calls and snail-mail. What happened to one-on-one personal attention to help a guest decide on services? What happen to sales 101? Just because we are starting to live in a virtual world doesn't mean we no longer need personal customer service in the service sales process. Sales 101 tells us the importance of building rapport, educating, communicating accurate information quickly and providing special personal attention above and beyond the competition. This no longer exists with traditional web site service sales and provides no personal attention (instruction/education), which we all know the guest is looking for. The Internet has taken away the personal edge that service sales once had before web site development.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Paper-based sales process and traditional use of web sites also provides no personal attention nor does it help the hotel stand out above and beyond its competitors. The hospitality, hotel and event planning industry must look at its sales material and begin presenting environmentally friendly information while providing virtual sale information under traditional sales standards and providing personal attention to each guest.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*The 2002 census reported 46,295 hotels and motels in the United States. If each lodging facility and event facility were start providing 2 **virtual sales calls per day X5 days, X52 weeks at an average cost of an estimated $25 per call (includes: staff labor, production, paper material, postage, long distance and all the steps it takes to properly respond and document a sales or inquiry call) that would save the hotel industry over 600 Millions dollars each year. At 4 virtual sales call per day would be a cost saving of over $1.2 Billion each year for the industry. (this does not include wasted productivity or the 1000’s of tons of material going into our landfills each year)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;**VIRTUAL SALES CALL - Once a sales call or inquiry call is completed there should be no need to access snail-mail, faxes, e-mails, attachments, word documents, web links, powerpoints and PDF brochures to complete the inquiry or sales call (other then a follow up). The guest has all the information they need before you hang up with the call.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To review additional findings, visit: &lt;a href="http://www.hotelepacket.com/"&gt;http://www.hotelepacket.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Louis Godin, Virtual Sales Specialist&lt;br /&gt;Phone: 480.272.6049 - E-Mail: &lt;a href="mailto:LGodin@WebEventPlanner.com"&gt;LGodin@WebEventPlanner.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virutal Sales Tools: &lt;a href="http://www.hotelepacket.com/"&gt;http://www.hotelepacket.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virtual Meeting Planner Directory: &lt;a href="http://www.webeventplanner.com/"&gt;http://www.webeventplanner.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2431535737551586731-4347254576418807796?l=webeventplanner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://webeventplanner.blogspot.com/feeds/4347254576418807796/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2431535737551586731&amp;postID=4347254576418807796' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2431535737551586731/posts/default/4347254576418807796'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2431535737551586731/posts/default/4347254576418807796'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://webeventplanner.blogspot.com/2009/01/hotel-industry-set-to-save-between-600m_28.html' title='Hotel industry set to save between $600M and $1.2B annually'/><author><name>WebEventPlanner.com</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02187163879235308355</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/__kACUZZJL4Q/R_a8-bdEftI/AAAAAAAAAAM/94ekZiVOFno/S220/louisgodin.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431535737551586731.post-7140002060609957158</id><published>2009-01-28T07:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-28T08:00:10.539-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hotel Marketing Plan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hotel Marketing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hotel Internet Marketing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='How to Close a Sale'/><title type='text'>Hotel industry set to save between $600M and $1.2B annually by organizing its virtual sales policies, procedures and training!</title><content type='html'>Louis Godin of HotelEPacket.com officially released data today showing that the hotel industry is losing millions of dollars each year through unorganized virtual sales procedures and a lack of virtual sales and catering staff training. The data also show that the hotel industry must incorporate traditional selling techniques in its virtual sales procedures. The organizational data supporting these findings is based on 18 years of sales management and customer service experience in the hospitality industry and 10 years of hotel Internet marketing, sales and advertising research.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Based on a 2002 census of 46,295 hotels and motels in the U.S., with each lodging facility and event facility providing two virtual sales calls per business day annually, at an average estimated cost of $25 per call, the industry would save over $600 million each year. At four virtual sales calls per business day annually, the industry would save over $1.2 Billion. This estimate does not include wasted productivity or the thousands of tons of material added to landfills each year by paper-based sales materials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Godin, there should be no need to access snail-mail, faxes, e-mails, attachments, word documents, Web links or PowerPoint and PDF brochures once an inquiry or sales call is complete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Internet offers many cost-effective resources and tools to forward virtually unlimited sales information that will capture prospective business," said Godin. "Web sites are good marketing tools, but they do not provide hotel and event planning sales professionals with the resources and education needed to streamline the service sales call. The hotel sales industry must start analyzing its cost effective virtual options, organize its virtual sales procedures, train its sales staff and begin distributing and presenting sales information to include traditional sales standards to ensure an increase in profits and a decrease in annual marketing budgets".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To review additional findings, visit:&lt;a href="http://www.hotelepacket.com/"&gt;http://www.HotelEPacket.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2431535737551586731-7140002060609957158?l=webeventplanner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://webeventplanner.blogspot.com/feeds/7140002060609957158/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2431535737551586731&amp;postID=7140002060609957158' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2431535737551586731/posts/default/7140002060609957158'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2431535737551586731/posts/default/7140002060609957158'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://webeventplanner.blogspot.com/2009/01/hotel-industry-set-to-save-between-600m.html' title='Hotel industry set to save between $600M and $1.2B annually by organizing its virtual sales policies, procedures and training!'/><author><name>WebEventPlanner.com</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02187163879235308355</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/__kACUZZJL4Q/R_a8-bdEftI/AAAAAAAAAAM/94ekZiVOFno/S220/louisgodin.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431535737551586731.post-8161138745828997158</id><published>2008-11-19T09:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-19T09:09:34.411-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marketing Professional of the Year'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hotel Internet Marketing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Close the sale'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Event Solutions Magazine'/><title type='text'>Louis Godin of HotelEPacket.com Nominated for Marketing Professional of the Year.</title><content type='html'>2009 Event Solutions Magazine Spotlight Award Represents the Event Planning Industry's Finest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HotelEPacket.com announced today that Louis Godin, virtual sales specialist and founder of HotelEPacket.com, has been nominated by Event Solutions Magazine forMarketing Professional of the Year.

Provide not only a virtual sales tool to your hotel sales and catering sales staff, but empowering them to up sell and cross sell your properties and services.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;REVIEWING 'SALES 101' FACTS: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;- Provide professional and organized information &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;- Build rapport with the guest &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;- Educate your guest (helps build rapport) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;- 'KIS' (Keep it Simple, bells and whistles are not needed at the sales stage) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;- Have knowledgeable and friendly staff - Provide user friendly information &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;- Client like to see name/information displayed &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;- Communicate quick and accurate information &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;- Provide information specific to each guest needs &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;- Provide special personal attention to each guest &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;- UP SELL AND CROSS SELL YOUR PROPERTIES AND SERVICES &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;- EMPOWER YOUR SALES AND CATERING SALES STAFF WITH THE TOOLS NEEDED TO DO THE JOB. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;- Sales 101 also tells us to find ways to stand out and sell above and beyond your competitors - How can you stand out above your competitors when you are doing the same thing as everyone else with your virtual sales material and paper material?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today's full services and limited service hotel web sites have been built to reflect the web designer's technical goals and restrictions instead of the goals and needs of the hotel sales and catering sales professional. Traditional web sites do not provide the tools and knowledge your hotel sales and catering sales staff members need to close the sale with one phone call, while providing traditional sales 101 standards virtually?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hotel sales and catering sales industry must start thinking outside the box when it comes to web sites. 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 guest will win the business.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on this topic please visit: &lt;a href="http://www.hotelepacket.com/"&gt;http://www.HotelEPacket.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hotelepacket.com/"&gt;http://www.HotelEPacket.com&lt;/a&gt; is a provider of common sense approaches to hospitality sales in the virtual world.

Quick, easy and up-to-date information is no longer available. In order to find the information they are looking for, clients may have to go to a corporate web site, independent web site and access e-mails, attachments, word doc., links, Web Programs, .PDF brochures, faxes, phone calls and snail-mail. What happened to one-on-one personal attention to help a client decide on services? The Internet has taken away the personal edge that sales once had before web site development.&lt;br /&gt;Gone are the days when event planners were provided information specific to their needs. In the past, when an event planner was looking to do a local breakfast meeting, the sales manager did not send information on guest rooms, dinner menus, bar arrangements, pool amenities, etc. The event planner received information specific to the needs of the event in a presentation that would show the event planner personal attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paper folders, business cards, cover letter, brochure information and menus once were sent in a presentation to the guest for event facility consideration. The Internet has turned this once great presentation and first impression into web sites that provide unorganized or too little information and offer no personal attention to the guest's needs for individual attention.&lt;br /&gt;"Web sites are good," explains Louis Godin, owner of &lt;a href="http://www.webeventplanner.com/"&gt;http://www.WebEventPlanner.com&lt;/a&gt;, "but the service sales industry has lost track of the fundamentals of selling. Personal attention has been lacking in the sales process through traditional web sites. Sales 101 tells us the importance of things such as client name/information displayed, communicate quick and accurate information and provide special personal attention above and beyond everyone else. This no longer exists with traditional web site service sales and provides no personal attention (instruction) which we all know the event planner looks for."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Web sites have been built to reflect the web designer's technical goals and restrictions instead of the goals and needs of the sales professional. The sales industry must look at its electronic materials and begin presenting sales information by traditional sales standards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since 1999 has provided clients with Internet Sales and Catering Sales Resource Development and Consulting. As an experienced Hospitality Web Sales Trainer, Louis brings 18 years of sales and customer experience in the hotel industry and 10 years of Internet Hotel Sales and Catering Sales Research and Development.

The service sales industry has lost track of the basic fundamentals of selling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sales 101 tells us the importance of building rapport, education, communicating accurate information quickly and providing special personal attention above and beyond the competition. This practice no longer exists with online resources. Web sites often are built to reflect a web designer's technical goals and restrictions instead of the goals and needs of the sales Industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In today’s competitive sales environment, time is money. Distribution and presentation of your sales material quickly and professionally – while providing personal attention to the client – can make the difference between the sale and lost business. Web sites should be a tangible sales tool, providing sales professionals all the necessary items needed to present and close the sale efficiently. Combining old-school selling techniques with today’s technology will allow you to outsell your competitors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sales industry must organize its virtual sales procedures and begin distributing and presenting sales information to include traditional sales standards to ensure an increase in profits and a decrease in annual marketing budgets.&lt;br /&gt; For more virtual sales tips and to learn more about how you can close sales faster, please attend the free on line seminar “Remembering Sales 101 – Bring Back Personal Attention &amp;amp; the Fundamentals of Selling – Virtually by visiting &lt;a href="http://www.virtualsalesprofessional.com/"&gt;www.VirtualSalesProfessional.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2431535737551586731-2301485631642213532?l=webeventplanner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://webeventplanner.blogspot.com/feeds/2301485631642213532/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2431535737551586731&amp;postID=2301485631642213532' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2431535737551586731/posts/default/2301485631642213532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2431535737551586731/posts/default/2301485631642213532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://webeventplanner.blogspot.com/2007/11/remembering-sales-101.html' title='REMEMBERING SALES 101'/><author><name>WebEventPlanner.com</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02187163879235308355</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/__kACUZZJL4Q/R_a8-bdEftI/AAAAAAAAAAM/94ekZiVOFno/S220/louisgodin.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431535737551586731.post-5292273253540466324</id><published>2007-09-12T06:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-01T06:53:49.991-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hotel Marketing Plan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hotel Marketing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hotel Internet Marketing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Event Space'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Meeting Planner Tools'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sales Seminars'/><title type='text'>LAUNCH OF E-PACKET CUSTOMIZED FOSTERS HOTEL INTERNET MARKETING ACTIVITY</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.webeventplanner.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.webeventplanner.com/&lt;/a&gt; announced today the launch of its new E-Packet Customized solution that allows hotels, Meeting and Event Planners to build personalized and customized content Sales and Catering E-Packets (web sites).
