The play

How to work this one.

Why this one

Family-owned, 20 villa suites with kitchens on the beach, and it already sells seven-night packages. This is the cleanest product match on this stretch of coast.

Likely pressure points

It runs public fall discounts and pay-six-stay-seven summer offers, which point to soft weeks. At this size, the block has to stay small.

What to lead with

Start with a small As-Used block in summer and fall. The owner and manager is not named publicly, so ask Colin Hunte who decides.

Opening note and meeting plan

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

Colin, I will be in St. Lucia in December. Your villa suites with kitchens suit the seven-night stays our members book. Could I show you how a private member channel could help your fall and summer weeks, with no public rate?

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.
