How and who for the hotel job—verified when attested. Advice unless labeled verified. This brief is a worksheet, not an appraisal and not a quote.

## The job

When marketing wants a seven-email journey and the desk has never seen what was sold, I want two real offers so arrival is not an argument.

**Outcome the catalog names:** At most two pre-arrival offers tied to real inventory. Accepted offers on the desk board. Zero invented amenities.

**Desk:** ops
**Urgency on the catalog:** This quarter
**Typical budget band (catalog, not a quote):** $4–12k + a quiet layer
**Typical timeline (catalog, not a promise):** 3–6 weeks

## Scoped brief

Pick two things that exist — late checkout, parking, a room type with remaining inventory. Soft Arrival-shaped software can send. Quiet Hours can draft. The desk sees acceptances on the same board as tickets. A third message needs a GM override.

1. **List what the house can actually deliver.** If late checkout is already 80% occupied, do not sell it. Walk remaining inventory before you write copy.
2. **Cap the journey at two.** Confirmation plus one offer, or one offer plus a reminder. A seventh email trains the guest to ignore you.
3. **Put acceptances on the desk board.** If the 3 p.m. clerk does not know about the parking they sold, you created a complaint.
4. **Score honored, not clicked.** Attach rate that the desk delivered. Clicks are a brochure.

## When not to buy

A journey builder that treats the guest inbox like a magazine. The desk will disown it.
