Customizing the Hotel Sales Pipeline for Maximum Efficiency and Revenue
In the dynamic world of hospitality, hotels face the constant challenge of managing complex sales processes especially when balancing bookings for rooms and banquets, handling approvals, managing proposals, and optimizing revenue. Bingoforge has designed a hotel sales pipeline that is not only robust but also highly customizable and integrated, helping hotels manage every step efficiently and boost profitability.
Custom Pipelines for Rooms and Banquets
My Hotel CRM understands that selling hotel rooms and banquet spaces involves very different customer journeys and revenue models. To address this, our hotel sales pipeline allows customization tailored to each vertical.
- Rooms Pipeline: Typically focuses on individual or group bookings, with stages from inquiry, room availability check, rate confirmation (often varying by season), and final booking confirmation.
- Banquets Pipeline: Involves a longer negotiation cycle, including stages such as initial inquiry, detailed event proposal, menu customization, space allocation, pricing negotiation, and contract approval.
Sales teams can configure these pipelines to reflect their unique operational workflows. For example, banquet inquiries may include add-ons such as audiovisual equipment, catering upgrades, or decoration packages, each tracked as potential revenue within the pipeline.
Managing Approvals and Trading Proposals Seamlessly
One of My Hotel CRM standout features is its integrated approval process embedded within the pipeline. Certain stages-such as finalizing banquet pricing or offering corporate discounts-require managerial approvals before progressing. This approval flow is automated, sending alerts to relevant stakeholders and allowing quick decisions without delays.
Moreover, the pipeline supports trading proposals between hotel sales reps and clients. Sales reps can generate and revise proposals dynamically from within the pipeline stages, reflecting changes in dates, room types, or event requirements. These proposals are tightly integrated with My Hotel CRM proposals app, ensuring that every offer is accurate, professional and consistent with the latest pricing and inventory data.
Keep Deals Moving with Smarter Sales for Hospitality
In hospitality sales, delays can cost revenue. Bingoforge resolves this with smart flow rate management, tracking how long each deal stays in a pipeline stage. During negotiation the system flags it for timely follow-up, helping managers eliminate bottlenecks and close deals faster.
What sets My Hotel CRM apart, is its ability to incorporate add-ons like premium room upgrades, spa services, or banquet A/V packages directly during the inquiry or proposal stage. These additions are linked to the main deal, improving both client value and revenue forecasting.
The platform also offers a customizable pipeline tailored to your sales process from initial inquiry and qualification, to proposal, negotiation, contract, pre-arrival coordination, and even post-event feedback.
By aligning with how hospitality teams sell, My Hotel CRM makes it easier to accelerate bookings, increase revenue, and deliver exceptional guest experiences every step of the way.
Seamless Integration with the Proposals App
The sales pipeline isn't just a tracking tool it's a central hub integrated with My Hotel CRM proposals app. From within the pipeline, sales reps can instantly generate detailed, branded proposals, including rooms, banquet packages, seasonal rates, and add-ons. Any changes made in the pipeline will automatically update the proposals, ensure accuracy and save hours of manual work.
