In this episode, Kevin highlights the two main hurdles SA start-ups face. He briefly explains the strategies you can use to overcome these issues so that you can secure direct bookings and avoid having to pay commission.   Kevin then shares details of his Serviced Accommodation Boom Success Workshop, where you can learn, in detail, how to implement these strategies. As well as how you can use his established UK-wide SA company as a springboard for your own SA business launch.   KEY TAKEAWAYS There is huge pent-up demand for SA coming from businesses who want to make long-term bookings. There is also strong staycation demand. Anyone can cash in provided they already have a property or can secure properties from agents or landlords. Unfortunately, agents are reluctant to rent to SA start-ups that have no track record. Knowing what to say to agents and landlords is essential. In the podcast, Kevin shares details of training and assets that will enable you to overcome this issue. Joint venturing with Kevin provides instant credibility. Details of how to do that and the other benefits this provides are in the podcast.   BEST MOMENTS ‘There is an awful lot of pent-up business demand out there, right now.’ ‘I´m covering all of the bases for you.’ ‘I´m providing you with a website, with the agent scripts and the flyers.’   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Serviced Accommodation Property Podcast https://propertysoldier.co.uk/ Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T Kiyosaki Serviced Accommodation Success by Kevin Poneskis   ABOUT THE HOST Your host Kevin Poneskis enjoys public speaking, travelling, exercising, and keeping fit.
