Selling advice and project based expertise to hotels

Hotels range from family run guest houses to branded properties with a general manager and department heads. Independent hotels decide on site, while group hotels often buy through a central team, so finding the right person matters as much as the offer.

Consultants usually rely on their network and reputation to win new assignments. A focused lead database lets you reach a well chosen group of companies with a relevant message instead of waiting for introductions.

Every month you do not reach hotels with a clear offer, someone else does. A list you own lets you work the market in a steady rhythm instead of in bursts.

What consultants run into with hotels

Your network runs out and you have no structured list of new prospects.

Build a lead file of the companies you want to work with, imported from any list you already have.

Outreach feels awkward when it looks like a mass mailing.

Placeholders and small batches keep each email personal and the volume modest.

The reservations address goes to front desk staff who do not pass sales mails on.

Tick events@ and info@ as well in email from domain and note which address brought a reply.

Chain and independent hotels need completely different approaches.

Add a field for ownership type and save a filter for each, with its own campaign.

Angles that work with hotels

Write one mail with placeholders and let the details change per record. These openings tend to work with hotels.

  • Tie your offer to guest reviews, because hotels watch their scores closely.
  • Address occupancy and the quieter season, when a hotel is open to new ideas.
  • Ask for the right department head, since the reception address rarely reaches the buyer.

Fields worth recording for hotels

Record these and you can split the list later, write sharper mails and see who fits your offer.

Independent or chainChain hotels often buy centrally, independents decide locally.
Restaurant or eventsHotels with food and events buy far more than rooms only.
General managerThe name of the decision maker once you find it.

Questions people ask

In independent hotels it is usually the owner or general manager. Record the name in a field when you find it, and use a role address such as info@ until then.

Yes. Add a number field for rooms and filter on it, for example hotels with more than a certain number of rooms.

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, reservations@, reception@ and events@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
