Selling business insurance and risk cover 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.

Insurance brokers grow their commercial book through referrals, renewals and a steady stream of conversations with local businesses. A lead database of your own helps you plan those conversations by sector and renewal month.

The hotels that need business insurance and risk cover are listed publicly. What most insurance brokers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What insurance brokers run into with hotels

Prospect lists by sector are hard to keep organised.

Give each sector you specialise in its own segment.

Renewal dates pass before you get in touch.

Store renewal month on the record and filter on it when you plan outreach.

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

Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets hotels to click.

  • 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

Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.

FieldWhy it helps
Company nameThe key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website.
WebsiteNeeded to derive an email when the export has none.
RoomsRoom count is the clearest sign of size and budget.
Star ratingRating shapes expectations for amenities and service.
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.
