Awareness

"One of the greatest qualities we can have is self-awareness."

Step 1

How clear are you on what's important and why?

Before any task, call, meeting, site-inspection, presentation or important conversation:

🎯
PREPARE YOURSELF
Focus & Intent Mode
Run this on yourself before you act. It turns a task into a decision made with purpose.

Step 2

Who are you talking to?

Works across every sales type — transient and leisure, groups and team travel, meetings, weddings and social events, and tour & travel. Pick the buying influence and the cadence reshapes to their role and mindset.

Remember: You're not selling rooms — you're selling a Boston experience. Location, hospitality, and a host team that makes every guest feel handled, whether that's one room for a Fenway weekend or 600 rooms for a citywide. Sell the experience and the story; the rate follows.
Select a buying influence above to load their question cadence.

Hotel fit — what to position when you hear it

What you are listening for

Clarity
Can they describe what success looks like for the group?
→ You get the goal
Ownership
Who owns the budget and who runs the logistics?
→ You see the current state
Impact
Does the venue affect attendance, experience, or outcome?
→ You uncover the gap
Timing
Are dates real, or still exploratory?
→ You test readiness to move
Role+Mindset=Reality

Role = how they see the group's needs. Mindset = how they feel about choosing a host hotel.
