Mark Simpson explains how local accommodation hosts can form WhatsApp groups to share guest referrals. When you can't cover a booking, ask the group, find an alternate host, and take a 5-10% commission. One referral could earn you about £50.
5–10% of the booking.
About £50.
And you can start to build up your own mini WhatsApp local group of hosts, other hosts. Because it's not competition, it's collaboration over competition. Every other host is somebody that you can get a stay for a guest. So when a guest calls you up and goes, lenka, have you got accommodation for 1st September for four nights? Instead of you just going, really sorry, no, putting the phone down, you. You go, yep, 100%. Give me 10 minutes, I'll call you back. Put the phone down, you go straight into your WhatsApp group, right, everybody, 1st of September, four nights, da, da, da, da, da. This is the price. Who wants it? They'll come back to you. First come, first serve, you call them back and go, fantastic, we've got you all sorted, I'm going to pass you on to here. They're going to do. And then you just take a 5 or 10% cut. Now, on a singular basis, that may be 50 quid.
