LODGING LEADERS
Ciara Feely is the creator of The Conference Converter System™ – a proven formula that shows hotels and venues how to win BIG in the Meetings & Event market by helping them to see their business from their client’s point of view.
Ciara helps venue teams to be leaders in the sales process and be in control. She believes it’s not about how the team wants to sell; it’s about how the client wants to buy. She shows hotels how to STOP SELLING (as Howard Feiertag taught us in episode 46), and how to build TRUST instead, because it’s the relationship the buyer wants – and that relationship will deliver more wins.
In This Episode, Ciara Reveals:
- How to stand out and sound different; to be of interest to the client.
- How to create your Power Sales Tools to make the competition irrelevant.
- How to package and present your proposal to turn prospects to profits.
- How to chart your Sales Surge and System and stop the leaky sales funnel.
- How to WOW & WIN the hotel show around and double the power of your marketing spend.
- The result when you implement her system – a steady stream of repeat clients and referrals.
Ciara has been an agent for 10 years, and a hotelier before that, and her Conference Converter System™ is helping venues grow their profits and increase market share.

302 | Value Judgment: Hotel asset pricing in COVID-19 age is different from previous recessions
Hotel appraisers and brokers expect distressed assets to come to market as the pandemic recession continues into 2021.

But pricing will be different than in previous economic downturns. While a transaction may be distressed, it will not necessarily reflect distress pricing,” said Daniel Lesser of LW Hospitality Advisors. Long Live Lodging explores the state of hotel values as well as what may lie ahead with regard to transactions in 2021 as the spread of COVID-19 continues to stifle lodging performance. This report is part of our ongoing coverage of the coronavirus crisis and its impact on the hospitality industry.
