Imagine your inbox as a frantic hotel lobby at checkout - hundreds of group booking enquiries piling up, phones ringing off the hook, and teams scrambling just to keep the doors open.

In this episode Tavel Market Life, I am joined by Mandy Stam, Senior Director of Business Solutions at Radisson Hotel Group, and Felix Undeutsch, CEO & Co-founder of Hivr.ai. They pull back the curtain on Radisson’s three-year quest to automate the flood of M&E requests, from painful manual processes to a scalable AI-powered partnership that’s already slashing response times and boosting conversions.

What You’ll Learn

- The Hidden Pain: Why meetings and events enquiries are the Wild West of hotel sales - high volume, low visibility, and teams drowning in copy-paste chaos.

- Pilot-First Trust: How Radisson and Hivr.ai built confidence with small-property trials, real metrics, and radical transparency instead of glossy promises.

- Measurement Over Magic: The power of finally seeing your baseline - conversion rates, timeouts, bottlenecks and turning blind spots into actionable wins.

Mandy and Felix’s journey is a masterclass in practical automation: start small, measure everything, trust the data, and watch scattered enquiries become streamlined revenue.
