Hotel marketing five taboos

One taboos subjective determination of the degree of credibility of the consumer units

In a regular meeting of the department manager, the sales manager reported that there is a foreign enterprise to store consumption hope to hang the account. The boss then asked the manager: is state-owned or private? Answer is private; and asked how much investment? Answer said nearly ten million; so the boss cautioned that such small-scale private enterprises are inconvenient to hang accounts. Just this sentence, the enterprise hopes that the door of convenience is blocked, and at the same time, the hotel in the unknowingly lost a may also be the most loyal customers.

At present, among all consumer groups in hotels, especially some mainland hotels, the consumption of pending accounts accounts for a considerable proportion. Hotels in measuring the consumption credentials of the pending unit, naturally, according to the strength of the unit, the degree of credibility to determine whether the pending account to avoid the phenomenon of bad debts, bad debts, dead accounts. Over time, the region's old customers and more well-known enterprises easy to grasp, and for similar new consumer customers can not only rely on business attributes and the existing strength to determine the degree of his credibility, not to thick "public" book "private", heavy The "big" light "small".

In the interaction of customers, the positive and prudent practice is on the one hand to welcome with a smile, on the one hand, with strong regulatory measures to not let the hotel interests damaged. Such as the beginning of this article, the boss of the requirements can be taken to enter into a detailed contract, shorten the checkout time, arrange for special monitoring measures to open the door to achieve the purpose of new sources of customers, and then cancel the qualification of the account once the problem is found to be the first signs of it is not too late.

Two taboo boss rarely visit

Hotel bosses visit customers at the right time is to enhance understanding, strengthen friendship, consolidate the source of effective means, which has been recognized by the majority of counterparts, but in the concrete implementation of a far cry. Some either do not have time, forget to go; some simply do not intend to go, let the men walk; some even marketing director, manager rarely go down, shut the door to build a car. There may be several reasons: with their own at the same level, okay, go to visit customers lower than their own face; day and night trapped in the hotel's chores, things must be, take charge of, the results of the exhaustion of no way to take into account; responsibility is not strong or the work shall not be essentials; where there are these reasons for the managers, only care about their own feelings and the truth, while ignoring the idea of customers who rely on the survival of the customer.

Three taboos like visiting

Sales managers in the development of quantitative indicators of salesmen, it is important not to visit the number of times to measure the performance of a salesman, which seems to be scientific is contrary to the common sense of the practice will have a negative impact. Salesman and customer relations are only working relationships, often because of work to meet, disturbing the customer is obviously not welcome, so there are clearly in the office office and lied in the meeting said. More often than not, the salesman also realized that the customer's antipathy, hope that there are often offers, discounts, gifts, free and other good news to bring to the customer, to liven up the atmosphere, add content to the conversation, but also to increase their own weight, but it is very limited. Marketing Department, in addition to the development of visit plans for customers, multi-channel, multi-means to achieve the purpose is the first to consider.

Four taboo planning is only the marketing department

A well-known hotel has a very good tradition, every holiday before the arrival of the boss will take the lead in organizing the whole store foreman above the backbone of the Zhuge Liang will be held, please come up with ideas to think of ways. This is a good practice worth promoting. The marketing department is more professional, but also a limited number; more ideas, but also a single force; three ignorant cobblers and into a Zhu Geliang, the participation of many people will help the activities of a complete success. They also set up part-time marketers in each department in charge, in the customer information collection, relationship communication to fill the lack of sales staff, basically formed a three-dimensional network of external marketing, very practical.

Five taboos of their own promotions

Have heard a joke that a boss received during the Spring Festival from the same hotel more than ten New Year's cards, there are hotels, there are managers of various departments, there are supervisors, and even employees. All of them had the same meaning: they hoped that they would continue to give care in the coming year. The boss's reaction when he received the card was: is this necessary? This means that each of them to engage in promotional waste of manpower and resources, not to mention that, but also can not get the approval of the guests. Now many hotels to quantitative management of the income of each business sector, effectively improve their enthusiasm, managers and employees to make every effort to increase revenue. The starting point is not wrong, but often breed some negative impact. The hotel has a hotel style and taste, can not be some low vulgarity will be destroyed. This requires the hotel management to take effective measures to avoid this kind of promotion phenomenon, in order to maintain the hotel's external marketing as a whole.
