Help Us Help You

(DETM November 2024 Newsletter)

Greetings!

I want to help you with client special requests (for future bookings) and questions/ concerns you get when your clients are on property.  Please ALWAYS EMAIL us ALL of your client details. We (I and my colleagues)  need all of this information:

Property (be specific)

Names(s) (of all clients involved)

   * Tour operator and booking number

   * Dates - Arrival and departure

   * Room category booked

   * Specifics of the request/ concern

   * Room number (if they are on property and you have it)

Emailing us the complete details lets us forward the information via email quickly and without additional time and another email back to you. See the additional details/tips in the “Continued” story.

Sincerely,


Dave Emery

KRYSTAL KASH Group Template Spreadsheet

I have received emails that just say “Please assist my clients on property.” with NO additional details… I often get requests with just a tour operator booking number. We do not have access to any TO site to look up the details of that booking number… I often get requests with many of the above details, but NO property (or just the brand but NO specific property). 

 

If it is just a special request (like rooms close together, or celebrating a special event), sending all of the details makes it easy for us to email the team on property to note immediately. Of course, there are no guarantees for special requests, but we do note them. Also, please always send the special requests to the tour operator you book with. The tour operator actually “owns” the booking, not the property.  

Of course, please make the special requests reasonable. I’ve actually received requests like “My very good clients booked the “Deal of the Day” or lead-in room category, over Christmas, and can you see if you can upgrade them to the Presidential Suite?” Please always book the room category that your clients will expect and enjoy.

 

Emailing is the only way to get us the details so we can forward it efficiently. Please do not Facebook message, text or leave details on a voice mail message, as we can’t forward that to the team on property to note. 

 

Thank you for helping us to help you!
