Description

What is better than receiving a referral for a stay? Perhaps having a steady stream of referrals.

That's exactly what Melanie Kriel discovered, and it's revolutionising the hospitality industry in her area. With her well-executed referral system, she's not only increasing her bookings but providing exceptional hospitality to visitors in the area. 

We talk about:

• Melanie’s background and how she got started with short-term rentals
• The isolation of running your own business
• Collaborating with other hosts and their resistance at first
• How Melanie built a referral network for mutual benefit
• How the network has become a community
• Balancing the giving and taking among hosts
• The future of her Awesome Host Referral Group
• Advice for others wanting to do something similar
• What direct booking success means to Melanie
