Q4 is when hotel sales teams find out if their year adds up. 📈

The RFPs that come in over the next three months often decide whether annual group revenue targets get hit.

Knowing which leads are real, and which proposals are actually landing, matters more in Q4 than any other quarter. With Hopskip Analytics, you uncover trends that help you convert.

DMOs deserve to see what happens after the introduction. 🤝

Most DMOs hand off a lead and never learn if it booked, or why it didn't. Hopskip gives DMOs full visibility into every property they support, from first RFP to signed contract.

That's ROI you can actually show your board, not just estimate.

Here's how we can help: https://hubs.li/Q04t48R40

Every RFP tells a story about who's actually going to book. 📊

Proposal engagement data shows hotels which planners are opening documents, comparing pricing, and moving toward a decision, versus which RFPs have gone cold.

That's the Hopskip difference between chasing every lead the same way and prioritizing the ones that are actually live.

Proposals shouldn't need a follow-up call just to be understood. 📄

Our Proposal Response Templates give hotels a clean, consistent format that highlights space, pricing, and terms exactly where planners look first.

No more digging through a ten-page PDF to find the one number that matters.

Planners get proposals they can actually compare. Hotels get proposals that actually convert.
