My special guest is Yvonne Halling.
Yvonne Halling is the founder of Bed and Breakfast Coach.com and the creator of B&B Money Maker Business Transformation Program where clients typically increase their business by at least 25% in one season, while working less, paying less commissions and having more fun. Yvonne ran her B&B in the Champagne region of France for 17 years, first as a hobby making less than €10k per year, before transforming it into a thriving and profitable business, making over €100k a year with just 4 rooms without any listings with online travel agents. She won several hospitality and marketing awards and is now an award-winning consultant, coach and mentor for independent owners worldwide. Yvonne believes that hospitality businesses are the hub of local communities, attracting new money by way of guests, and which couldn’t have come by any other means, and returning that power to the owners, encouraging direct bookings via their websites, is Yvonne’s mission.
