The play

How to work this one.

Why this one

Adults-only all-inclusive in the family-owned Sun Group, with room for a larger block than most, at about 76 keys.

Likely pressure points

No property manager is public, so the decision likely sits with the group in Barbados. It sells through UK tour operators, so an allotment must work around them. Booking.com did not show it under the name we tried.

What to lead with

Ask the hotel who handles rates, then go to the group. Guaranteed inventory can sit beside tour operator business, in your program's own words.

Who decides

Bernard Weatherhead: Chairman, Sun Group Inc.

Opening note and meeting plan

Tap a paragraph once to select all of it, then copy.

Mr. Weatherhead, I will be in St. Lucia in December and would like to meet whoever handles rates for Bel Jou. Interval's members book seven-night stays in a private channel with no public rate. Could you point me to the right person?

Meeting plan: start with their soft weeks and how they fill them today. Show how password-protected member distribution keeps any rate out of public view. Walk through seven-night, non-refundable stays and the static net rate of about 37 to 40 percent off BAR / Best Available Rate, before taxes. Choose As-Used or Guaranteed inventory, agree return provisions by season, and set one test block.

The money

What the resort keeps, week by week.

Public prices on Booking.com for seven nights and two adults, for the lowest refundable room found, with the taxes and fees shown at right. The commission range is our assumption, so ask what the resort really pays. A week that would otherwise sit unsold earns the resort nothing, and that is the real comparison for your program.
