Who you're selling to: VP Revenue Management, Director of Operations, Head of Guest Experience, General Manager.Tone: Seasonal and margin-sensitive. Budget conversations happen ahead of peak season, and every pitch gets measured against occupancy and margin.

The weights

How the nine scoring factors get re-tuned

Default weights come straight from the platform's baseline model and total 100. The Hospitality tuning keeps the same total and moves points toward whichever factors actually predict a good hospitality lead.

Role / decision authority
Default 20 ptsTuned 16 pts▼ -4
Hospitality decisions are usually made by an operations team, not a single senior title, so this is softened.
Industry match
Default 15 ptsTuned 15 pts— no change
Sector fit already carries strong default weight, and that holds true here.
Services-to-needs alignment
Default 15 ptsTuned 17 pts▲ +2
Fit to the property or route’s specific guest-experience need predicts a reply well.
Company size fit
Default 10 ptsTuned 9 pts▼ -1
Still relevant, just marginally less decisive than geography and seasonal timing here.
Geography match
Default 10 ptsTuned 17 pts▲ +7
Destination and season are the dominant signal — the right pitch lands differently by market.
Technology relevance
Default 10 ptsTuned 8 pts▼ -2
PMS/booking-engine fit still matters, just marginally less than the default weight implies.
Outsourcing probability
Default 10 ptsTuned 10 pts— no change
Stays at default — outsourcing appetite varies by property more than by vertical.
AI / digital transformation fit
Default 5 ptsTuned 3 pts▼ -2
Guest-facing AI adoption is still early in this sector, so the signal is dialled back.
Contact info completeness
Default 5 ptsTuned 5 pts— no change
Operations and revenue-management contacts are usually already well documented.
