Stop ignoring the phone: Why the voice channel is your hidden revenue channel

Your voice channel is your most powerful booking engine. Are you using it to its fullest potential? For historic hotels, every call is a chance to sell more than a bed. It’s a chance to sell a story. But if your agents can’t confidently share what makes your property unique, then that means you’re leaving revenue on the table. Join Revinate and French Lick Resort for a webinar that will reveal how your team can unlock the voice channel to its maximum potential.

The lost art of a reservation call: How to build trust, capture data, and close bookings

Imagine a traveler sees your ad, reads your reviews, and calls ready to book. They ask about rates, hear a quick price quote, say “thanks, I’ll think about it,” and hang up, taking their name, email, and your marketing ROI with them.

We mystery-shopped 308 live reservation calls to uncover why this happens. The reality? 92% of unbooked calls end with zero contact data collected, and 55% feature zero discovery questions.

Join Brent Sanders (Revinate) and special guest Colton Bean (Suncadia Resort) as they unpack the research and share proven coaching frameworks to fix these conversational blind spots.

What you’ll learn:

  • Fixing the data breakdown: Why 92% of unbooked calls end anonymously, and how to train agents to capture guest contact details seamlessly early in the conversation.
  • From rate-quoting to value-selling: How to eliminate transactional “feature dumping” and coach front-line teams to ask thoughtful discovery questions that close bookings.
  • Plug infrastructure leaks: How after-hours voicemail loops and front-desk routing bottlenecks quietly drain high-intent revenue, and what to do about it.
