What if we told you that the actual reservation is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the true value your guests represent? We’ve been in a reflection mood lately. Part of looking back on our hosting journey is recognizing how much we’ve grown while looking closely at the mistakes that we’ve made along the way. There are three giant missteps that we’ve made that we can’t stop thinking about. One of the biggest ones is this: Underestimating the lifetime value of your guest. Automation is great, but if you limit interaction with your guest just to “turn and burn” you’re going to leave money on the table. You can get so much more value out of each guest beyond the actual reservation. • • • #airbnbexperience #superhost #girlbosslife #shorttermrentals #shorttermrental #podcasthost #podcasts #thanksforvisiting #airbnbhost #airbnbsuperhost #vrborental #vrbo #podcast #rentalproperty #rentalproperties #instatraveling #mindset #entrepreneurlife #hospitalitylife #homeaway #sharingeconomy #vacationrental 
How to give constructive criticism to your turnover team 👇🏼 ✅ Have experience in what you’re asking them to do. Make sure it’s possible and make sure they have the tools to accomplish it. ✅ Consider developing the role of inspector. It is asking a lot to have the turnover team also do an inspection. ✅ Let your turnover team know what your expectations are upfront. Having high expectations is a good thing. • If you still aren’t clicking with your team after giving constructive feedback, the best way to let them know is to say “we’re not aligned” and move on. • • • #airbnbexperience #superhost #girlbosslife #shorttermrentals #shorttermrental #podcasthost #podcasts #thanksforvisiting #airbnbhost #airbnbsuperhost #vrborental #vrbo # #podcast #rentalproperty #rentalproperties #instatraveling #mindset #entrepreneurlife #hospitalitylife #homeaway #sharingeconomy #vacationrental

4 ways to increase your revenue 👇🏼 1️⃣ Increase your pricing until you hit around 80% occupancy rates. It’s okay if you lose a few bookings by raising prices because you will make the same amount of money with less work. 2️⃣ Upgrade your beds! This can easily lead to a more luxury feeling and allowing more guests to stay. 3️⃣ Having an additional pet charge is expected and can make you extra. 4️⃣ Make sure you are competitive with your cleaning fees. • Got any other tips?
