FOR SELECT-SERVICE HOTELS
Select-service hotels don't have dedicated sales departments — they have GMs wearing 10 hats and maybe one sales coordinator juggling SMERF leads in spreadsheets. Hippo Rev gives your one-person team the power of five.

Hippo Rev Solution: Pricing for select-service

Your group business is different. Select-service hotels don't host association conventions — they host youth soccer tournaments, wedding room blocks, family reunions, and church retreats. Lead Catcher Agent recognizes SMERF inquiries and routes them with the right urgency.
Never miss another group inquiry call. When you're busy (which is always), Front Desk Agent answers calls, asks about event needs, captures details, and routes qualified leads to you.
Look like a full-service hotel without the full-service staff. Your proposals include property photos, room configurations, accurate pricing, and professional formatting.

Feature lists will not tell you which RFP automation platform actually wins business. This eight-point checklist covers intake, response speed, integrations, AI accuracy, lifecycle coverage, adoption, multi-property support, and reporting, with a specific vendor question for each so you can run a rigorous evaluation instead of a demo tour.
