The elevator door opens. And there stands your ideal investor. It's the chance of a lifetime. But that chance only lasts as long as the elevator ride - you have less than a minute to make an impression. Hopefully, you've got a well-crafted elevator pitch ready to give.
The elevator pitch is not the hurried presentation of a full-blown business plan.

HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY: BE THE FIRST CHOICE OF CUSTOMERSEswar Jabba
The Hospitality Industry encompasses a variety of services like hotels, food service, recreation, tourist destinations, events etc. The marketing revolves around customer experiences that you offer because there are not many tangible products to provide or showcase. This makes image building pivotal for your growth. With globalization, both business and leisure travel and stays have increased manifold.

Guest information is siloed in different technology platforms, and there’s no easy way to find and leverage meaningful data points.
But, when guest data is combined with a marketing automation platform, hoteliers have a way to look at their data, understand their guests, and deliver the personalized experience that each guest expects.
