· “John doesn't need my recommendation - he received an endorsement 10-12 times per year from 50-75 new Best Western members (hotel owners)! Those are huge numbers in a business where we are all judged by what we do daily! He
took a program that was floundering and ignored - breathed life into it then
revitalized it to the point where it was considered one of the organizations
key member "touch points". All
this done with his great organizational skills, humor, big picture focus and
subtle motivation.” 2010 David Scholefield,
Director, Field Marketing & NASCAR Marketing, Best Western

best and hope that our path will cross again soon. 2010 Karl Ruether CHA, CFBE,

This review is from: Lessons From the Field: A Common-Sense Approach to Effective Hotel Sales Backyard selling continues to be the best approach for hotels. This text presents basic techniques and strategies that still get great results. I personally give each new Ayres sales person a copy, and insist they read every page. The smart ones read it more than once, and refer to it regularly. I highly recommend this book for training hotel sales people. There is no better. Jim Roos, President, Ayres Hotels -
"We often sit down and write letters to associates we have met for the first time or whose seminars we have attended and thank them. I planned to do the same with you, except I couldn't think of superlatives enough to congratulate you on a job well done! |
