Welcome to episode 8, in this episode I speak with my good friend and fifth-generation Texan, Jodi Bourne (no relation to Jason!). We delve into Jodi’s specialisations in the rental industry plus a quick peek into what Jodi will be delivering in the Direct Booking Success Summit in September.

Jodi helps busy and frustrated hosts build a badass vacation rental business that WOWS their guests and increases direct bookings. 

She works with vacation rental, glamping, and boutique property management companies to build rewarding and successful hospitality businesses, create curated guest experiences and market their properties off of online travel agent sites like Airbnb and VRBO. 

Plus Jodi’s an advocate for industry-wide professionalism, sustainable tourism and booking direct.

Topics discussed:

• What made Jodi want to specialise in vacation rentals
• When the guest experience starts
• Building professionalism at the Vacation Rental Business School
• The secret sauce of being successful on social media
• Keeping away from shiny object syndrome and concentrate on what works for you
• Authenticity in your marketing
• What direct booking success means to Jodi
