@@TheHotelClub. I consider myself high end client and the fact I am financially able to make it, is only made possible by smart financial choices that I make everyday. That also means getting best quality/price ratio. The fact we have money doesnt mean we throw them around without thinking.
Hello. Great content. I just came by this channel and I find it very interesting. We have a small property (3 rooms, a suite, and an apartment in the same building). We have been open for about 3 months, and people seem to be really enchanted with the house and the hosting. Eventually I would like to move it to direct booking. What would be the best way/order to approach the courses at Hotel Club? Thank you
Hey there - sorry for the lateness of this reply. The best approach is simply to create an account and get stuck in. You seem like you might have your mindset in order so I would suggest - if you have your eyes on direct bookings - getting your website in order next. We have courses on how to get everything set up nicely - head to the-hotel-club.com and get started today.
I refuse to join Genius. In Australia we pay 12.5% commission plus we pay GST(Gov Tax) of 10%. Genius partner then pay the extra 10% for level 1=32%! Why anyone joins is beyond me. On top of this all our costs have virtually doubled ie electricity, gas, linen. I spend time educating guests about the evils of OTAs and have managed to reduce my reliance on OTA.
A lot misinformation, the basic commission for properties varies being 13% and 15% the average, and the property on the site will have to pay it regardless. 10% of something you would otherwise not receive due to being outcompeted is a small price to pay for a boot in revenue all year around. I can say my worse mistake was leaving the genius program, then having to wait to be able to join again total of 6 months, and so my sales drop more then 50% during week days, and low dates. I would not recommend leaving the genius program if you have a stable business and depend on having sales.
Thank you for your feedback Dave! It looks like we have experienced both end of the spectrum. That being said, if your business depends on Genius, or Booking in general, there lies the problem. (Not a judgment call btw). One of the thing you can learn with The Hotel Club is how to build a direct booking strategy. I am happy to guide you through the courses to follow if you are open to it!
Hello @@TheHotelClub.I liked you video, streight to the point and simple, deserved sub from me. But i want to ask, is there any big difference betwean Genius programe and Recomended programe? Witch do you prefer?
not only do you give 10% discount, you have to pay 3% more percent for regular genius and 5% on top of that (total 8%) if you want genius plus partner. I consider dropping out of this.
I've just deleted my comment,l was talking about the company that doesn't want you to see this video,they owe me money and I am absolutely disgusted by how I have been treated,I am very sorry for the misunderstanding and I hope you understand SORRY.
@@TheHotelClub. sorry about the misunderstanding ,any negative comments I post about that mob they delete,I know from personal experience what they did to me and I am absolutely disgusted, police have refused to help,they say it's a civil matter all I know is I will never use them again and will tell as many people as I can about the way they do business,once again Sorry.
High end clients don't go looking for the cheapest rates! They go for quality of accom, facilities, views & location
100% true! The thing that we ran into on multiple forums however was that in many cases this was not the situation. Exceptions do not make rules!

That's a great strategy - it will help you build loyalty amongst your customers too!

Thanks, Now i am thinking to quite Genius program. Commission+ Govt service tax.
It's a lot to pay for something whose effects you could make happen yourself with a little bit of studying
not only do you give 10% discount, you have to pay 3% more percent for regular genius and 5% on top of that (total 8%) if you want genius plus partner.
I consider dropping out of this.
100% agree
