Introducing Hippo Rev

Hippo Rev: The Revenue Capture Platform for Hotel Group Sales

Your hotel already has the demand. The RFPs are arriving. The group inquiries are landing across Cvent, your email, your front desk line, and your website.

What's missing is the system to execute on them fast enough to win.

Around one in three corporate hotel RFPs go unanswered. 61% of deals are awarded to one of the first three responders. And the average hotel sales team spends 70% of their week on coordination tasks that don't close business — which means $500K in annual revenue leakage per salesperson, quietly accumulating every month the process stays manual.

This isn't a demand problem. It's an execution problem. And it's the problem Hippo Rev is built to close.

Hippo Rev runs the deal motion across the systems your team already uses — Opera, Delphi, IDeaS, Cvent, Outlook — reading and writing across your stack in real time, so every inquiry gets captured, every proposal gets built, and every follow-up fires at the right moment.

No rip-and-replace. No new systems to learn. Just consistent execution on every deal, regardless of volume or who is at the desk.

What’s launching

Hippo Rev is the Revenue Capture Platform for hotel group sales. It operates across three stages that mirror how a deal actually moves: Capture, Convert, and Grow.

Every inquiry lands in one unified dashboard — captured from every channel, scored against your ICP, and ready for action. Complete proposals are built from live pricing in your PMS, with missing RFP details gathered automatically before the draft is assembled. Every open proposal is tracked in real time, with follow-ups triggered by planner engagement signals, not by whoever remembers to send them.

Your sellers review, adjust where it matters, and send. The coordination work disappears. The selling time returns.

Why this matters right now

What’s happening in hotel group sales is not a lack of effort or intent.
It’s an execution gap that shows up at the worst possible moments.

RFPs are arriving fragmented across Cvent, email, phone calls, web forms, CVB referrals, and partner portals. Sales teams spend valuable time just pulling everything together. By the time an inquiry is fully tracked down, the moment has often passed.

And when this is happening matters more than it used to.

Planners are making decisions faster. Many book with the first few hotels that respond, often before pricing is finalized or site visits are scheduled. Speed has moved from a nice-to-have to a deciding factor.

Yet what sales teams are doing today still reflects an older reality.
Hours go into pulling rates, chasing missing information, formatting proposals, and remembering to follow up. Work that slows response precisely when speed matters most. It’s all the coordination work that should never require a seller's judgment or a seller's time.

The result is not just inefficiency.
It is revenue that quietly slips away.

Hippo Rev exists to close that gap.

Who Hippo Rev is for

Hippo Rev is built for hotel sales teams who feel busy but still lose deals they should have won.

If you're a VP of Sales, the gap shows up in your pipeline dashboard — deals that should be moving, properties that aren't responding fast enough, and no reliable visibility into which opportunities are stalled versus lost. Hippo Rev gives your team consistent execution across every property and the portfolio-level reporting to see where revenue is leaking before it's gone.

If you're a Director of Sales, the gap shows up in your Tuesday. Sixty inquiries across four channels, a team spending more time formatting proposals than talking to planners, and a week that ends with deals still waiting for responses. Hippo Rev returns 18 hours per seller per week to your team — not by adding headcount, but by removing the coordination work that never required a human.

If you're a Sales Manager, the gap shows up in proposals that take four hours and follow-ups that depend on memory. Hippo Rev builds complete proposals from live pricing in under 30 minutes and triggers follow-ups based on real engagement signals — so you call when planners are actually ready, not when you happen to remember.

‍

Most importantly, it is built for hospitality. Not adapted from generic B2B software, but designed around how hotel group sales actually works.

What makes Hippo Rev different

Most hotel tech manages a piece of the deal. Your PMS holds availability. Your CRM tracks contacts. Your RMS holds rates. Cvent holds RFPs. None of them was built to coordinate the motion between all of those systems on every deal.

Hippo Rev runs that motion. It reads from and writes to your existing stack in real time — no rip-and-replace, no new systems for your team to log into. The platform coordinates across Capture, Convert, and Grow so that every deal moves consistently, regardless of volume or who is handling it.

Point solutions fix one handoff. Only a platform runs the whole deal.

The outcome isn't just speed. It's predictable execution — every proposal reflects live pricing, every follow-up fires on engagement signals, every opportunity gets captured before it expires. Revenue no longer depends on who is at the desk.

Proof it works

Early hotel partners using Hippo Rev are already seeing measurable results.
When the deal motion runs on a platform instead of individual discipline:

• Response time drops 12x — your hotel is consistently first on the shortlist
• Win rate climbs 25% — speed, proposal quality, and follow-through compound
• 100% of inquiries are captured — nothing leaks because someone was in a meeting
• Seller admin drops 70% — your team's week goes back to calls, site visits, and negotiations
• Pipeline coverage lifts — because new sellers ramp faster and attrition no longer costs you bookings

The metric that shows up most consistently: $300K+ in annual revenue increase per salesperson. Not from working harder. From stopping the leakage.

What happens next

Hippo Rev is now live.

We’re opening access in phases, working closely with early hotel partners to ensure every setup reflects their real workflows, integrations, and property needs.

If your team is tired of losing deals to speed, juggling fragmented systems, or spending more time on admin than selling, we’d love to show you what Hippo Rev looks like in action.
