OK you have a vacation rental and you have posted ad's on the website and in papers but somehow you still seem to be missing the mark on capturing more of the business. Why is that? Well,there are several factors(actually 17) that contribute to a successful and profitable vacation rental. I'll address the first one today. Responding!

As simple and uncomplicated as it seems responding to your guests inquiry will determine if your property will get rented or not, regardless of price or location. Potential guests are contacting you because they are ready to make a commitment (book a reservation). Yes, there are a few who are just window shopping but the majority who call or email you are ready to book now! Don't believe that statment? Well it's true and the reason a guests does not book is because they have not received a solid reason, motivation, assurance or time to do so from the property owner.

Responding to a potential guests requires intuitive listening skills, clear and concise answers, timing and pacing. Responding to your guest using these skills results in a satisfying experience for your guest and a rental for your unit.Everyone is happy.

When and how to respond to an inquiry is crutial because it will lay the ground work for moving the inquiry to a solid reservation. More on this later.

There is more to advertising then buying ad space!Make the AD work for you! Contact MammothRentalByOwner.com or Nomadness Corporation and see how things work behind the scenes.
