Success or struggle in the short-term rental industry right now is highly based on where your listings are in. Urban listings are struggling while traditional vacation destinations—especially secluded ones, are flourishing. Since everyone wants to leave the city, operators that have remote properties are seeing a huge influx of bookings and having a record year.
As operators grow from a few units up to 50+ units, operators who work with Jasper and his partner Eric grow small business owner to the CEO of a large company. In order to scale, they have to take themselves out of the equation and leverage software that is available to them. They have to become more efficient, or there are other players who will take their market share. That’s where SaaS companies have an opportunity to help operators:
- Save time
- Optimize task management
- Improve their customer service
In this episode we talk about:
- what short-term rental operators are looking for in terms of tech,
- and what new tech companies can do to break into the inner circle.
