I don't want to lose control of my business
Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2018During my appointment last week, I saw it happen again: the entrepreneur I spoke with was afraid of losing control of his business if he used a reservation system. He literally said, "Then everything will be in the computer and not in my paper diary, how will that work? I will no longer have an overview anyway and that is not what I want."
These days, almost everything goes digital
You may think this comment is an exception, but I do get to hear it quite often. And somewhere it is understandable. If you've been working the same way for 20 or 30 years, filling the paper diary with reservations, and then the paper diary gets pushed aside... Then it seems like you lose control. Therefore, accepting that the way you work can and perhaps these days "should" be done differently is the first step to take.
What benefits does LeisureKing give you?
Therefore, it is important to be clear to yourself why you need a reservation system and what benefits it will bring you. Below I have listed some of the benefits for you:
- Your activities are bookable online through your own website.
- The customer pays in advance, so you have the money in your account ahead of time.
- You can never sell more than you have in stock.
- You may be able to offer your activities through other parties, giving you a wider market.
- And perhaps the most important benefit: LeisureKing ensures that you spend less time per day on administration, unnecessary phone calls and hours of email handling.
Switch to online booking and save time
All reservations are made through LeisureKing's reservation system, giving you control over your business. Not to mention, you save time for useful things. So put aside your paper diary and we'll help you set up your LeisureKing account. Still keep doing what you love and how you're used to doing it, but digitally. I am very curious to see what you will do with your extra free time soon!
I always have time for a cup of coffee and good conversation. When will we discuss LeisureKing's capabilities for your business?
Sincerely,
Ernest van Veldhuizen
Account Manager LeisureKing
