rateshrinker for hotels - mike putman, rovia | a view from the edge 2012
DESCRIPTION
In April 2012, at UNITED! (the WorldVentures annual international convention) in Las Vegas, President of Rovia Mike Putman took the stage to announce RateShrinker. RateShrinker is an incredible technology that allows customers of Rovia travel websites to shop for flights with confidence. When a customer books a flight, our systems scour the Internet in search of the lowest available price, on the same exact flight. Once we locate a lower fare, we send the customer an email confirming the booking, the amount they saved and put the cash instantly back in their account. Well, now Rovia customers can enjoy the same functionality with HOTELS! In this presentation, Mike Putman explains how RateShrinker for Hotels works and why it's so powerful. The crowd of WorldVentures Reps in attendance went NUTS when the announcement was made. With this kind of relentless effort to improve our products, Representatives know they can share our Rovia products with pride. It's been an exciting weekend here at The View in Dallas, don't miss the next one! http://www.wvview.comTRANSCRIPT
At UNITED we introduced:
Technology designed to shrink your airfares
Recap:
How does work?
1) Purchase ticket from any Rovia Booking Engine
2) RateShrinker goes to work immediately checking
the price of your tickets up until departure
3) When we find a lower price for the same
itinerary, we shrink your old tickets and reissue at
the lower price
