Mark Simpson describes Tierney, a host who launched a direct-booking website and improved revenues and efficiency through cross-selling, upselling, listing beyond Airbnb (Booking.com, VRBO), phone-based upsells, and automated messaging. Tierney eliminated gap days between stays, increased confidence on phone outreach, and now achieves higher occupancy and revenue.
Tierney is doing amazing too. He's a new direct booking website. He's cross selling and upselling products. He markets his business the right way. His bookings are a nice mix of direct and via an ota. He is now listed on more than just Airbnb. He's added booking.com and VRBO so his business is seen by more people. He gets the maximum price for the demand. He stepped up his knowledge as well, so now he no longer has gap days in between stays. If he sees an opportunity to upsell dates to a guest that's staying with him, he will call up and he will do so. And he's more confident at speaking on the phone now than ever before. All of this has meant that he's making more money. He has brought in automation messaging system so that he can navigate his job as well as his business.
