Testimonials

Since replacing our previous online RFP form with SpeedRFP, the number and quality of RFPs Destination Hotels & Resorts received has increased exponentially.”

Andre FournierSenior Vice President of Sales & Marketing

Destination Hotels & Resorts

“We selected one of the most progressive hospitality technology companies in the US, Elite Meetings, to provide us with their unique, user-friendly technology. We selected them based on the way they utilize their tech-nology within their own business model which is similar to our own in terms of how we relate to clients and hotels.”

Craig JacobsSenior VP Group SalesPreferred Hotel Group

Testimonials (continued)

“I don’t know who came up with the SpeedRFP concept, but it’s so simple it’s disgusting. Kudos to you and your team!”

Don WeintraubDirector of Sales & Marketing

Rancho de Los Caballeros

“Adding SpeedRFP to my web site was the best thing I did this year. My online group leads have increased at least 30%, and beyond group leads, we’ve seen significant volume increase in catering leads as well. Our entire sales team loves the system and they find it incredibly easy to use. New customers find us and we get new opportunities we didn’t have before using SpeedRFP. And, current clients prefer to send their leads through SpeedRFP because it saves them time.”

Jerry JensenDirector of Sales & Marketing

The responses are easy to review and respond to.... I appreciate the simplicity and will continue to use it as often as I can. With Elite Meetings behind it, it has to be the best!”
