VRS453 – How to use voice technology in your short-term rental with Dana Young
Alexa - How Does the Hot Tub Work?
Imagine arriving at your vacation rental, and with nothing more than your voice; checking-in, finding out how the hot tub jets work, finding a local Mexican restaurant for dinner, raising or lowering the temperature, and asking where the spare pillows are kept.
These are just a few of the massive list of inquiries that can be answered through Alexa Smart Properties for Hospitality. Using this in conjunction with an Alexa screen device and the Virtual Concierge Service, the opportunity to increase guest satisfaction is significant.
In this episode, Dana Wolfe of Aipex Technologies shares his passion for voice technology and how it can be used effectively to give you a competitive edge in your rental market.
Dana was last featured on the podcast in December 2018, just after Virtual Concierge Service took away the award for Innovator of the Year at the VRMA conference in Las Vegas.
