Preferred Hotel Group, a provider of sales and marketing support to independent hotels, announced the launch of PHG Meetings (www.PHGMeetings.com). A comprehensive online RFP management system, PHG Meetings connects corporate sales managers, Global Sales Offices (GSOs), property level sales professionals and meeting planners with one convenient and powerful tool.
PHG Meetings, in partnership with Elite Meetings International (EMI), creates a 360-degree system that enables meetings professionals involved in the booking process to interact quickly, efficiently and productively. This new website uses EMI’s SpeedRFP™ RFP management system and a search technology platform similar to the one that powers www.EliteMeetings.com.
The online portal also integrates more than 600 Preferred Hotel Group member hotels with EMI’s SpeedRFP system. SpeedRFP users now can point their browsers to PHG Meetings and submit their saved RFPs to any of the participating Preferred Hotel Group.
In addition to providing a search, refine and RFP tool for meeting professionals seeking to book groups with Preferred Hotel Group members, the functionality built into PHG Meetings was designed with the company’s sales team in mind. It provides operational efficiencies for the company’s global sales team and for Preferred Hotel Group members currently utilizing Newmarket’s MeetingBroker sales and catering system. PHG Meetings will send RFP data directly into their systems, thus alleviating the need to rekey data.
