  • How to Buy a Property Management Business: A Step-by-Step Guide with Patyrk Swietek
    Nov 17 2024

    In this episode, we talk about the myths around buying a business and arm you with the insights, strategies, and inspiration to take the leap; regardless of your starting point.

    While acquiring a short-term rental business is no small task, it's a strategic choice that can dramatically accelerate your business growth. Organic expansion often requires significant time and effort to build properties, clientele, and market presence. In contrast, the acquisition provides immediate scale, adding established properties and revenue to your portfolio overnight.

    But can anyone do it?

  • Elevate Your Guest Journey: Strategies from Industry Leader Alex Husner
    Nov 2 2024

    I am seeing many new companies and innovations emerging at an unprecedented pace, disrupting traditional models and introducing fresh ideas.


    At the recent VRMA conference in Phoenix, I was struck by the sheer number of companies, nearly two dozen, that were either new to me or that I hadn't engaged with before. From an abundance of 'book direct' platforms to the surge of businesses integrating AI as the backbone of their operations, it's clear that innovation is alive and well in our industry.


    I'm excited to delve deeper into these innovations by connecting with the founders and visionaries behind them in the coming weeks, months, and years. This week, I'm privileged to meet with Alex Husner, who is no stranger to the show, a seasoned marketing leader who has recently embarked on a new venture that's making waves 🌊 in the industry.


    One of the biggest challenges accommodation providers face today is enhancing the guest journey while balancing cutting-edge technology and human touch. In this episode, we dive into that very challenge, exploring how an innovative platform like Happy Guest revolutionises guest communication and satisfaction. I truly believe that implementing the right technology at the right moments can transform the guest experience and, in turn, elevate your business to new heights.
