Transcript excerpt

I was working for the hotel brand, La Meridian, we did a study that found the first ten minutes of a guest stay set the tone for their entire experience. And no, as a short term rental owner and host myself, I think about this constantly. I'm Katie Klein. I'm the host of two podcasts, the owner of three short term rentals, and I've just collaborated with the Independent Host Academy to create their very first course, and it's totally free. Throughout the five chapters, I break down what I learned inside brands like the Ritz Carlton, w Hotels, and Saint Regis, and how I tactically apply those strategies and secrets to my own short term rentals. If you're a host or you're thinking about hosting, this is the playbook from the top hotels, and it will elevate your business. Check out tier independenthost.com and sign up for free.
