GIMH – Quicktext integration Boosts Hotel Direct Sales
Velma, the best hotel chatbot, is available on different platforms such as Live Chat, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, WeChat… to answer customer queries instantly and guide them through the direct booking process.
Integration between Velma and GIMH booking engine ensures customer conversion during the direct booking process.
For example, if a customer does not complete their booking, Velma automatically notifies GIMH’s call center agents to trigger a proactive sales follow-up by phone to close the sale.
The conversion rate achieved through this seamless sales follow-up is over 30%.
In the words of Nieves Marugan, commercial director at GIMH:
Artificial intelligence allows our team to automatically filter and resolve customer requests that we previously had to handle manually, allowing our call center to focus its efforts on direct sales where we can really add value.
Increase Your Conversion
If the customer does not finalize the booking, GIMH has an optimized follow-up process based on the type of request.
- For high-value queries: Velma instantly notifies and sends a call order to the GIMH agent. They will have all the information and requests made to Velma to meet customer needs and quickly close the sale.
- For average-value queries: Velma will generate a lead that the GIMH can manage via phone or email to complete the potential reservation.
When the customer asks a question and does not complete the reservation, Velma notifies the GIMH call center to proactively call them back.
