Phillip
Owner, Phillip's Guest House - Black Rock
Before
Thought Airbnb was her only option for online bookings. Was paying 15% commission on every reservation and had no direct booking strategy.
After
Learned about direct booking tools at a free seminar. Set up her own booking page within two weeks. Direct bookings now account for 40% of her revenue.

Digital tools for accommodation providers
"I was giving away 15% of my income for years. One free seminar showed me I didn't have to."
Dwayne
Thomas
Proprietor, D&T Marine Services - Scarborough
Before
Had no idea the Marriott development would require local marine transport vendors. Was not positioned to bid on any contracts and did not know the process.
After
Attended the Marriott Opportunity Gap session. Identified two procurement categories matching his capabilities. Submitted his first formal bid within three weeks.

Round the island presentation
"I would have missed this completely. I didn't even know there was a seat at the table for someone like me."
Every program we run exists to create moments like these.
