Mark Simpson explains how hosts can engage business/corporate/traveling guests to drive repeat visits and referrals.

Business guests, corporate guests, traveling guests. The business world is so incestual. Everybody knows everybody. That business guest that's staying with you, they're not just coming for one time. They come several times a year. You send them a message and say, hey, remember when you came and stayed with me? Do you? Anybody else in your office who regularly comes to the area, just ask them the question. But always remember this. You always got a dangle of carrot. Just say, hey, if you do know anybody, please set up a group chat. Introduce me. If they book with me, I'll give you X. And X could be anything. It could be Amazon vouchers. It could be a bottle of wine, champagne. It could be, I pay for a meal, sports tickets or whatever.
