Why aren't independent resorts and hospitality vendors seeing consistent growth anymore?

Because buyers today don’t want to be sold to

They want to be helped. 

And outdated sales funnels? 
They’re about as useful as a “Do Not Disturb” sign in a digital-first world.

So, how do you drive real revenue without burning trust?
➜ You answer their questions. 
➜ You build relationships. 
➜ You show up before they even hit “inquire.” 

That’s what we do at Lure Agency.

Since 2012, I’ve helped independent resorts and the vendors who support them attract, convert, and retain more business using a proven transparent relationship marketing strategy.

Built for how modern buyers actually buy.

What’s the difference?

Most agencies pitch impressions. 
We deliver impact. 
With clear ROI, scalable strategies, and messaging that doesn’t just sound pretty.

It sells.

Because after 30 years in marketing, here’s what I know for sure:

No trust = no sale. 

But trust? 
Trust scales.
Along with sales.

Struggling to find sales?

Let's connect and chat about it.

Leadership wants an update on prospecting.

All those check-in emails.

And follow-up calls.

How's it going?

Oh, fine. 😜

Prospects don't need to like you.

They need to trust you.

I've done business with people I didn't particularly like. 

But I knew they'd deliver because of their track record and the results others vouched for.

That's why building trust signals matters more than being likable.

➜ Your content. 
➜ Your problem-solving. 
➜ Your expertise. 

These create the visibility engine that earns trust before you ever get on a call.

Case in point: 
I used a custom AI prompt to vet CRMs. 
Got it down to three solutions. Ran one demo. 30 minutes total.

The vendor I chose? 
I found them through their content ecosystem.
Not a sales pitch.

Trust beats likability every time.

Want to build that trust engine for your hospitality vendor business?

Our latest article breaks down the prospecting strategies that actually work.

The Warm Prospecting Playbook for Hospitality Vendors Who Hate Cold Calling

Check it out: https://vist.ly/4d5vh

Cold prospecting? 

You're basically sliding into someone's DMs from an igloo.

Warm prospecting? 

You've been showing up at the campfire so long, people already saved you a seat.

The difference isn't luck.

It's consistency.

When you engage on LinkedIn regularly, you're not interrupting strangers. 

You're connecting with people who already know your name, your vibe, and your value.

Stop being the cold caller nobody asked for.

Start being the person everyone's been waiting to hear from.

Let's warm it up y'all 🔥

Are we still doing this?

I opened my spam folder and found a ton of "just circling back" emails and one gem that started with "Dear {FirstName}."

Seriously?

Traditional outbound is broken. 
Especially when selling to hotels.

Here's why:

Selling most SaaS is straightforward.
One product, one pitch, one use case.

Selling to hotels?
That's way different.
You're navigating legacy systems, limited IT resources, tight budgets, and a small team where every stakeholder wears multiple hats.

You can't template that.

I sat down with Kimberly🌟 Hensley, MBA from Tripleseat, on the InnSync Show to dig into this. Her take? "Every independent hotel is its own little ecosystem. What works at one property won't work at another."

Are we still doing this?

Sending generic pitch decks to properties that need customized solutions?

Independent hotels don't have enterprise budgets or dedicated tech teams. They need vendors who get that reality.

So why are vendors still blasting generic emails and hammering cold calls like it's 2010?

Because they haven't figured out what actually works.

The best tech vendors don't sell features.
They understand independent hotel operations.
They know your pain points before you tell them.
They speak your language.

Want the full breakdown on prospecting that builds trust instead of resentment?

Dirty reps at the gym build muscle.

Dirty reps in sales build revenue.

But here's the problem with most sales training: 
It stops at the workshop.

You get pumped up for a day, learn some frameworks, then go back to your desk and... nothing changes.

Because knowing isn't doing says Celeste Berke Knisely, MTA

The real shift happens in the practice. 
The messy reps. 
The accountability check-ins. 
The ongoing reinforcement that actually changes behavior in your CRM.

Here's what else changed ➜ 80% of what was sales is now marketing.

Your cold outreach? 
It's competing with content, AI agents, and buyers who've already done their research.

So we're teaching hotel sales teams how to leverage their marketing departments to warm up that outreach. 

Make it less cringe. More human.

And we're doing it through training that's actually engaging (gamified, not death by PowerPoint).

But the secret sauce? 
We stick around after the workshop.

We track the changes. 
Hold people accountable. 
Make sure those dollars don't fall flat.

Prospecting in the Age of AI: 
A Hotel Seller’s Survival Guide

READ THIS: https://lnkd.in/gZAB-RgR

Early Lure Agency was a hot mess.

Not because we weren't hustling.

We were swinging at everything like a newbie at TopGolf.

Chasing our tail. And clients.

The problem? 
Zero strategy. 
Just a giant menu of services we assumed clients needed.

Well, they didn't.

What they actually wanted was simple.
More qualified leads.
More deals closed.
More revenue.

Not a 47-point proposal with every service under the sun with no clear, positive outcome.

Here's what changed everything:

Susan Tucker and I stopped selling what we could do.
We started solving what they needed.
And obsessing over it.

One clear outcome:
Drive direct inquiries that convert better than cold outreach and third-party leads for hotel group and hospitality vendors.

That's it.
That's the whole deal.

And guess what? 
Our clients have stuck around for years now. 
Because when you nail one thing really well, people notice.

If you're struggling to gain traction, here's my advice:

Ditch the laundry list.
Pick one outcome you can deliver better than anyone.
Go all in on that. 
And back it up with proof.

Clients don't buy features. 
They buy results that make them money.

What's the one outcome you're obsessed with delivering? 

Drop it below and let's send it. 🤙
