Hotel Technology Next Generation

Cendyn announced the launch of eFaceTime, a video enhancement to Cendyn's eProposal solution that lets property managers share excitement and details about their venue via video to close more business.

"Some things never change. People still buy from whom they like, and being able to develop your relationship with a customer faster over the miles will make a greater impact on your conversions," said Robin Deyo, executive vice president of Cendyn. "eFaceTime videos let enthusiastic hotel salespeople personalize a proposal as soon as they finish their first call with a group prospect."

Oregon's Sunriver Resort gets 22 views within 2 hours of video proposal launch
According to Deyo, Oregon's Sunriver Resort's sales team recently issued an eFaceTime proposal that had 22 views within two hours after it was received by the client. "Search engine optimization experts say video increases sales conversion rates," she said. "It is a way to get faster and broader buy-in from all a prospect's decision-makers. Our internal metrics indicate the more a proposal is viewed, the higher a percentage of definite conversions which is the primary goal for all travel executives."
