Stop Losing Leads at the Front Desk

The lead wasn’t lost in the CRM. It never made it there. For front office teams, sales leaders, and GMs who hear about business that never reaches a clear follow-up owner. Start with one real inquiry and trace what happened after the conversation. This path gives your team a short capture checklist and an example of a hotel-led lead workflow. Use it in a shift meeting to agree which details to capture and where to send them. The hotel’s sales team qualifies and works the leads; the hotel remains responsible for rates and final commitments.
