Cvent Drives Sales Efficiency with New Proposal Assistant for Group Business RFPsToday, Cvent announced Proposal Assistant - new capabilities within its Lead Scoring solution - that help hoteliers drive more group revenue through smart automation and competitive insights. The new functionality was unveiled at the company's annual user conference, Cvent CONNECT, in Las Vegas. Proposal Assistant, available later this summer to hotels and venues currently using Cvent (News - Alert) Lead Scoring, offers enhanced automation functionality to help streamline the process of responding to requests for proposals (RFPs). Proposal Assistant eliminates much of the manual work needed to respond to an RFP, saving hotel sales teams valuable time and allowing them to direct their efforts towards closing more deals. "Planners continue to move away from manual RFP processes to online eRFPs, which has led to a significant increase in RFP volume," said Pete Floros, senior vice president of product management for Cvent Hospitality Cloud. "Hotel chains using our existing Lead Scoring solution are finding it much easier to quickly qualify and prioritize leads, but are still spending too much time filling out dates, rates, and meeting space information in their RFP responses. Proposal Assistant takes care of all o that. In many cases, the hotels that are the quickest to respond are the ones that close the deal. Proposal Assistant is going to allow hotels to compete for that first response and grow their group business." Benefits of Proposal Assistant include:
