Selling software and online tools for businesses 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.

Software companies that sell to small and medium businesses often rely on inbound signups, content and paid ads. A lead database of the exact business types you serve adds a direct outbound channel that you control yourself.

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 software companies run into with hotels

Buying contact data for a narrow vertical is expensive and often outdated.

Build the list yourself from public sources, import it and keep it fresh on your own server.

Outbound lists and product signups live in different places.

Keep prospects in one database with statuses and tags, and export to CSV whenever another system needs them.

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

Pick one angle per campaign and write it once, with placeholders like {company|your team} for the details.

  • 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.
