This is the third episode of our Sales and Marketing Series.

My guest today is Mike Weimann.

He’s the VP of Sales and Operation at Eviivo, an all-in-one booking suite that helps property managers improve occupancy, increase automation, and improve their customers' experience.

The booking landscape has been in flux for several years. Whether it’s new entrants inserting themselves between you and your guests, changing consumer buying habits or the complete upheaval of traditional demand and booking patterns, hotels and short term rental providers have had to keep up with a lot in a sometimes “hard to grasp” “theory vs. practice” environment.

Well, we’re trying to create some clarity on this episode. Mike shares some great insight into the current booking ecosystem, a new entrant to be aware of, how to drive more direct bookings, using OTAs to your advantage, the lifetime value of a guest and much more.

In short, it’s about having the right tools and understanding the playing field to determine the right strategy that makes the difference.
