MeetingBroker.com routes leads from partner sites directly into sales automation systems installed at hotel sales offices and destinations for immediate follow-up. The power of MeetingBroker.com is that it enables hotels to immediately evaluate and accept business from Web-based sales leads, merge a proposal, and email it back to the planner in minutes, saving hours or days of delay. Another benefit facilitated by MeetingBroker.com is that once leads are routed into the sales automation system, they are stored for future opportunities.
