Alternative recommendations help you optimize group quotation results by identifying more profitable or flexible date options. This guide walks you through where to find these alternatives, how to interpret them, and how to use them during negotiations.

Locating your alternative quotations

If you have enabled any alternative recommendation options, you will find these on your Quotation Results page.

Scroll to the bottom and click on the Alternatives tab.


Understanding your alternative quotations

  • Your alternative quotations will default sort with the highest Incremental Profit at top

  • There are two flags you will see in the results table:

    • High - This is the quotation with the highest Incremental Profit

    • Low - This is the quotation with the lowest Avg. Recommended Price

  • There are also two labels you will see in the Stay Dates column:

    • Original - This is the quotation generated for your primary property and dates request

    • Selected - This is the quotation that you have selected for this group inquiry

This intuitive table display is designed to help you:

  1. Easily identify higher-profit dates

  2. Understand lower-rate options that give you room to negotiate while still maximizing bottomline contribution

  3. Evaluate multiple properties at once, so that you are considering each group from a holistic, portfolio-level perspective


Managing your alternative quotations

Each quotation in the table can be:

  • Deleted if not needed (via the three dot menu at right in table, or at top right of open quotation)

  • Flagged as the Selected quotation (via the three dot menu at right in table, or at top right of open quotation)

  • Clicked and opened in a new tab for any additional editing and further analysis

β˜‘οΈ Marking as Selected

If you mark any alternative as Selected, the associated dates and metrics for this quotation will now display in your primary Groups list view, along with a Selected tag

❌ Deletion Behavior

  • Non-Selected Alternative quotation - Deleting this quotation will simply remove it from your Alternatives table

  • Selected Alternative quotation - Deleting this quotation will default your Original quotation back to Selected

  • Original quotation - Deleting this quotation, whether from main Groups list view or Alternatives table, will delete the primary group inquiry and any associated alternatives
