In this brief segment, the speaker explains an "open calendar" booking strategy used for short‑term rentals. The approach involves quickly moving a guest who is uncertain about their needs to an immediately available property, thereby securing a reservation. The speaker illustrates the method with a real‑world example: a guest originally booked a stay for about $4,000, but after being shifted to a different, readily available property, the booking was completed at $4,300. The speaker emphasizes the speed and flexibility of the tactic, noting that the guest wanted to move in right away and the host could accommodate them instantly. The segment concludes with an invitation for viewers to seek coaching or assistance in implementing the open calendar strategy, positioning the speaker as a knowledgeable guide.

Yeah, I think it was like $4,000. And they ended moving to a different property. And it was like, I think I got it booked for $4,300. Right. And at first, you know, they weren't sure what they're looking for. And they wanted to move in right away. And I knew I could accommodate them with this other property, like immediately, right. So then I kind of moved them to a different property. So that's the strategy that I do. I kind of call it the open calendar strategy. And yeah, if you guys need help implementing this, or you have questions, I feel like having a coach is really helpful.
