Success

My Hospitality Sales Pro (MHSP) has spent many years building confidence, trust, and loyalty with many lodging partners! A loyal client recently reached out to MHSP regarding lodging needs in the Oklahoma City market. Using the “HUSTLE” approach, within 2 hours of the initial request, the client had a full-color, multi-page presentation/rate proposal (designed by MHSP) in their grasp as well as a Direct Bill Application, Meeting Room Diagram, and Break item Pricing sheet along with suggested area catering menus for the group’s meals. MHSP is aware of the fierce competition that we are faced with daily in our industry and teaches the “HUSTLE” approach to closing the business in a timely, skillful manner. As a result, this organization was closed the very next morning resulting in an estimated revenue of $10,000+.
