The travel and tourism industry in the United States generated over $1.4 trillion
in economic output in 2013. This activity supported 7.5 million U.S. jobs, and accounted for 7 percent
of all U.S. exports. One out of every 18 Americans works, either directly or indirectly, in a travel or tourism-related industry.
It's a simple fact that people traveling on business or pleasure spend
lots of money during their hotel stay.They spend it on restaurants, shopping, recreation and services they may want
or need during their stay.
Dining out for example. It's not, will the guests
dine out, it's WHERE will the guests dine out.
As
a member of National Discount Club sales team, you will have a very large role in determining where those guests will eat
and what other activities and services those guests will take advantage of during their stay.
When people check into a hotel, front desk managers will tell you that the first questions most
guests ask is. "Where is a good place to eat?". And, of course, guests ask about shopping, services they need
and things to see and do.
As you can imagine, the local business
people in town would be very interested in an effective way to get those hotel guests
to come spend their money with them and not their competitors.
Our
Hotel Guest Discount Card allows local business people to do just that!
Our
sales representatives hand select, on average, eight to twelve local businesses that place their
ad on our card that is then handed to each guest at check-in.
If a local
business owner understands that these hotel guests are ready to spend money in their town and
that by inviting these guests over that he or she can benefit financially, then they are anxious to participate
in our program. It's your job to explain it to them effectively so they understand. If you can do that, you
have a sale. We provide you with the statistics and information needed to help your potential customer make the right
decision.
Nothing sales itself. However, if you are able to present our
program in a logical and professional manner, the sales come easily and quickly.
You are offering that business an opportunity to form an extremely profitable partnership with their local hotels
and motels.
If a particular business owner does not appreciate what you
are offering, don't stress about it. Go find his competitor that does appreciate the opportunity
and work with him or her.
