might be approximately 12%. It all depends on your hotel's rate

CPA% ceiling? You're gettingbookings at a lower cost than you
can through other channels.

EMBRACINGCOLLABORATION
3Breaking down silos is how you
grow your hotel
STAY SHARPYour hotel team should all be focused on the samegoal, and you should be working together to achieve it!Pooled resources get the job done more efficiently.

The hotels reaping the benefits are theones breaking down departmental silos,and adopting a more inclusive andcollaborative approach.
SHARED INFO ISYOUR HOTEL 'SBRAINThe changes needs to apply to all aspects of revenue generating, not just
HOD meetings or progress updates. Otherwise, your picture of events will
be incomplete.
Think of it this way: if your left hand and right hand are working without a
‘brain’ – a collaborative, information-sharing center – between them, how
can you expect them to work efficiently?

SHARING THEKNOWLEDGE
4Challenge the norm and stretch
your ideas further

"SO HOLD ONTO IT FOR DEAR LIFE AND TELL NOBODY"

THE PHRASE
WAS NOT FOLLOWED BY
Your website's booking engine is your direct online channel.
If you, for example, hold back on sharing accurate knowledge on how
the website performs in relation to overall sales and in relation to
online channels, your provider only sees one part of the pie. If you
don’t know where your weaknesses are, there’s no way you can
improve and succeed!
