eProposal Provides Group Sales Productivity Tool for Hotel Sales Managers

PARSIPPANY, NJ August 22, 2006 - Lodging Interactive announced today the launch of its eProposal Rapid RFP Response System for the hospitality industry. Lodging Interactive’s eProposal system enables hotels and resorts to quickly customize professional looking responses to inbound RFPs for group and event space. “We designed our eProposal system to be a sales productivity tool for hotel sales managers and to help them close more group business. Prior to our eProposal system hotel sales managers routinely responded to RFPs via email and would attach large Word, PDF and image files, many times clogging the recipients email system,” stated DJ Vallauri, Founder & President of Lodging Interactive. “Hotel sales managers now have an elegant and cost effective system which will make them look more professional to their prospect and help them close more group business.” Lodging Interactive’s eProposal Rapid RFP Response System is a browser based application which can be accessed from any Internet connected PC using an Internet Explorer or FireFox browser. The eProposal system centers around a comprehensive website designed exclusively for the hotel to showcase their property’s meeting space, floor plans, accommodations, menus, and food & beverage operations. Hotel sales managers can create unlimited professional RFP responses quickly and efficiently for their sales prospects. Each response is protected with a unique user name and password ensuring confidentiality. The prospect will receive a secure, personalized hotel website with information tailored for their upcoming event at the hotel. In addition, each sales manager can set proposal follow up dates ensuring a timely follow up on each sales prospect. “As an introductory offer, Lodging Interactive will design, develop and host this customized group website at no initial cost. We are deferring our setup cost and offering this exciting new time saver and revenue producer for just the low monthly fee. This means no initial capital outlay for access to a custom group sales system.” stated Richard Walsh, Lodging Interactive’s Vice President, Business Development.
