The Accommodation Show - Hospitality Success Series! · The Strategy to Scale from 20 to 550+ Properties with Dennis Goedheid · 15 Sep 2025 podcast

So they were still uh um giving us a positive ROI, but all the others I I had to yeah just uh get rid of uh it was a cost.

costing us money.

So a lot of those things I I I just didn't know.

I was new to the industry, had to figure everything out on on my own.

Spent a lot of hours and a lot of of of weekends and and nights uh um just on on those kind of things.

And yeah, it just takes uh time to become a specialist.

They always say what is it, ten thousand hours before you really master a a certain subject.

So um I I probably had to do my ten thousand hours uh two first.

Absolutely and and that's what we also see with with our franchisees, but w luckily we're we're able to to really help them and so a a lot of them are are focused on getting everything right on the operations side, right?

So they they sign a contract and then they have the onboarding and the first guest and and all those things and they wanna figure it out that they have all the vendors uh lined up.

And and they completely lose uh focus of the the sales uh side, and then a second contract maybe comes in and then they're busy again.

And before you know it, if they had a target of getting to 10 or or 20 homes in the first year, you see that they're so busy on the operation side that that they uh that they don't get to their targets.

Uh so it's it's really important to to stay.

focused on on the growth that's that's the most important uh for your business and once you grow and and and uh um you have more homes in in the system it it's a lot easier to find um an employee to do inspections and to make sure that your homes are are clean and and ready for guests and and resolve guest issues than getting someone or or hire someone to do sales.

It it's really important to to stay focused on that, get to a certain uh amount of homes as soon as you possibly as soon as possible so that you can afford someone to do the the operational stuff and and the the inspections and so on.

Yeah, first a few properties.

Um we started with uh with around fifteen to twenty, so then uh we lost a few and then it's finally started to to uh um to roll and and we were getting more and and people were talking about us.

Um we were all located in in in uh one uh resort, so they saw us walking around, you meet people, um we do some HOA and board.
