Sales managers need to take up relevant steps to identify their benefits and sell them accordingly. Here listed are 4 steps for commercialising achieved benefits.

With the objective of identifying beneficial features of the Hotel and commercializing them to attract more customers, the following features can be categorized:

1. Elegant and authentic hotel services like restaurant, high-speed data, room service, breakfast, bar, lounge and banquet room make the hotel self-sufficient. The fact that a wide array of services is provided with utmost care and patience is remarkable in the hotel industry and must be utilised to attract more customers.

3. Inter-departmental communication and harmony amongst the various processes of the organization is a great value that needs to be practiced in order to sell the benefits of the action.
4. Being a part of a chain group of organizations, it is important to maintain clear and transparent communication, at each and every level. A smooth organizational structure brings about the aesthetics of a hotel and needs to be utilized for attracting potential customers. 

Rationale Explanations

1. Located in an elite environment, the hotel requires hi-tech services that would conserve time and energy. Using modern applications and elements would help in improving the Company’s service-providing.
2. Regular training of experienced as well as new employees would help the organization strengthen its culture.
3. Inter-departmental communication plays a big role in improving the organization’s practices and performances. With multiple functioning bodies working together, inter and intra communicational harmonies is very important.
4. Cleanliness is elementary factor determining an organization’s success. Transparent communication and efficient efforts to clean the environment is crucial for the survival of the organization’s customers.

In order to run successfully, the management needs to make sure that the value perceived by the customers from the services provided by the hotel, are optimally utilized to create tangent benefits. The following features reflected by the hotel identifies why consumers would prefer it over the other competitors.

Features/ Benefit Statement

1. Penalty free cancellation of booking of hotel rooms as late as 4pm
2. Transparency amongst the various functional units of the organization is one of the strongest factors that set the Company apart from the other existing competitors. Smooth organizational processes reduce ambiguity, chaos and create a suitable environment for the customers.
3. Location of the Hotel is in a busy and elite environment, thereby creating demands for the elite class, office goers, young generation as well as families. Situated in an elite market place, the Hotel manages to target its potential customers and is able to provide for their specific needs and expectations.
4. Affordability is another major issue when it comes to benefits and sustainability. In order to make the products affordable for the users, the hotel needs to reduce its capital investments and expenditures as much as possible. Along with that, the management needs to scrutinise every operational processes to identify extra expenditures and remove them so as to make the products and services cheaper.
5. 24hrs laundry facility is available for customers with additional charges levied.
6. Environmental sustainability is another major issue that needs to be dealt carefully. Due to the regular operational processes of the hotel a significant amount of harm is inflicted on the external environment, like pollution, soil erosion, global warming and deforestation. In order to survive the future the Company needs to take care of its external environment.
7. The booking directs is one of the best option provided by the hotel. The hotel provide no set checkout time
8. Indoor valet parking for 24 hrs is another feature different from the competitors
9. Unique yoga program named as Nama-Stay is the most unique refreshment offered by the hotel management

I think harmony plays a vital role amongst the various operational units of the hotel. It is mandatory to work in coherence with the organization’s other units, for successful execution of aims and objectives. Especially in accordance to the organization’s sales management, it is absolutely necessary to maintain good professional relationships amongst the organization, in order to increase their sale further and add more value to it.

Inter-departmental Relationships

The inter-departmental relationships of the organization, refers to the relationship shared by the different operational levels within the organization. I strongly agree with the fact that improving interdepartmental relationships have a significant effect on the sales of the organization. As the transparency and coherence increases amongst the various operational units, wastage of capital and energy decreases significantly. With less wastage of time, more products and services can be offered with the same amount of resources. It is a concept of lean theories, which focus on cutting off extra expenditures in order to improve the quality of finished product.

The various departments of this hotel include kitchen, reception, housekeeping, sales, waiting staff and more. These departments should be well-connected with each other in order as they are all striving towards one same goal, satisfaction of the consumers. The reception should work hand-in-hand with housekeeping department so as to have a fair idea about the proceedings like how many rooms are empty, how many rooms need cleaning, future bookings, etc. On the other hand, the waiters work as a medium between the kitchen and the direct users. The waiters hold a lot of responsibility in maintaining good behaviour with the consumers, and also work as a link between the kitchen and the consumers.

Therefore, it can be concluded that every organization has their aims and objectives. The successful execution of management processes can take place only when all the departments of the organization are involved together and working with each other, towards the same goal.
