Here's a listener requested topic. You're NOT an owner...but a pseudo single-op who gets booked out by booking agents and DMCs. You've done the work to improve who you are and operate differently than when you were first added to the roster. How do you go about having that conversation about the "new you" and your "new rate" with new prospective agents/DMCs as well as the older ones who are booking you now and are used to the "old you" and "old rate"?

Kevin and Greg talk about the surge in bookings and what they recommend operators should be doing to get the most out of it. They also discuss what the think the future might bring for the industry in a post-covid era.
In the UK the recent Budget had several measures that will help us in the SA sector, and combining this with our Roadmap out of COVID-19 lock down, there’ll be an increase in guests wishing to stay and for numerous reasons… here’s a summary of my thoughts and practical aspects of these two major events announced by the UK Government.

How are you getting on with your new 2021 goals? Here are specific ways to keep on track and manage both your key actions this year as well as your mindset.
And to share how this still works even if you’re going through a difficult time – unfortunately we’ve had the most traumatic week because a serious car accident has left my eldest grown up child Skye (still your kids even when they’re 21 years old aren’t they?!) with a fractured pelvis and a long recovery expected after surgery this past week.
Obviously, this is distressing and more important than anything else in my life right now, family comes first. Miraculous that Skye is still with us, and we’re so grateful for this.
However, because we have systems in place, our SA units are still fully operational, and expansion plans still in place. This is not to boast, but to share this with you – if you’re struggling or want a better way forwards too, this will help you.
Yes, I’m delayed getting this podcast out, but our actual business and goals are still all fully working and in place. The methods I share are going to help you through lock down and through life to keep moving towards your vision and what is most meaningful to you.
Our deepest gratitude to everyone for all the support we have had, and the amazing NHS for their awesome skill and support too.

I hope you’re weathering the storm of second lock down and the tier system in the UK, and anywhere in the world!
If you’ve felt frustrated by the limitations government restrictions have placed on your SA business, know that you are not alone, and now is the time for you to step up and take positive action. Make the difference to your SA business by helping your guests, your community and your wider audience of potential guests – create and evoke their experience staying with you. Realise that you can help people this year, next year and into the future. You can be empowered. Go for it!!
