For those of you in the hospitality industry, you’ve likely heard of LamontCo. LamontCo is a hospitality company focused on providing solutions to every part of the meeting planning ecosystem — site selection, venue sourcing, contracting, registration, onsite event support, creative social responsibility planning and beyond.
Their associates have been working with Reposite for more than a year and have found great success in discovering stand alone venues, group friendly restaurants, reliable transportation, unique team building activities and more through the platform. LamontCo leverages Reposite to source in several US destinations including but limited to Las Vegas, Chicago, New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Washington DC.
We met with several members on the LamontCo team to hear about their experience using Reposite, and gathered some pro tips and recommendations on how to seamlessly incorporate Reposite into your workflow if you are a group planner. As a supplier on Reposite, you can pick up on some strategies to win more business from corporate meeting planners like LamontCo.
Meet Daniel on the LamontCo team. Daniel shared that Reposite provided him quick, reliable bookings much faster than his previous outreach through Google searches. He shared a noteworthy story about posting his first Request for Proposal (RFP) on Reposite and matching with the perfect transportation supplier who was professional, affordable, and went above and beyond for Daniel’s customers, all within 48 hours. According to Daniel, “Responsiveness says a lot for how they will provide service later on, which matters.” On Reposite, 50% of bookings are won by a supplier that has responded to the request in 24 hours or less of the initial request — proving that level of attentiveness is extremely valued by planners and is a key indicator of a strong and trustworthy partner!
In sharing how he’d recommend Reposite to other colleagues, Daniel said it’s a “Super easy platform to source just about everything - restaurants, activities, transportation. Nice easy resource that has everything in one place.”
Meet Eric on the LamontCo team. Eric has been a power user creating multiple projects and RFPs in a variety of destinations across the country. He shared that Reposite has “expanded my reach, visibility, and knowledge” of suppliers across the country, noting that it was “pretty simple to do a search and get responses back in a short time span.”
Eric has leveraged Reposite’s supplier marketplace to assist in sourcing for a diverse range of different programs everything from posh and luxurious dinner venues in Dallas to high end cocktail reception cruises in Newport. He’s been able to connect with new DJs, Photographers, Team Building Activities and Catering Companies to meet his clients’ specific requests. Reposite enabled Eric to go above and beyond to find the gaps and additional needs in their itinerary, resulting in some very happy clients and new partnerships formed. In reviewing the matches to his RFP, he naturally gravitated toward the suppliers that provided detailed, professional and complete replies that required minimal back and forth messaging.
In sharing how he’d recommend Reposite to other group planners, Eric said, “Have you been thinking outside the box when booking for clients but struggling to find something new & unique? Reposite can do all that for you. There’s a great team behind Reposite that will help you through the process if you need, and we’ve had great results for my customers and other LamontCo team members.”
Meet Jonathan. Jonathan has been using Reposite for the last 3 months, and found the perfect supplier for a recent customer trip. This group had some specific preferences regarding budget and timeline, and had a vision of the type of restaurant they thought they could afford for their group as many groups do. Jonathan found several unique restaurant opportunities through Reposite that fit his clients parameters and shared that his “clients appreciate the fact that I am taking so much off their hands.”
According to Jonathan, “having this platform at my disposal to do that kind of outreach saved me a lot of time from doing research myself. It’s like having a local concierge in your pocket.”
“From Co-Founder, Alexa Berube to our always available Account Manager, Annalise Coughlan, we appreciate all the customized and targeted support and now have some great successes to share. Annalise personally connects with any Associate who has an open search and also regularly shares updates and news on our Partner Showcase calls. Congratulations on all of your accomplishments so far, Reposite Team. LamontCo looks forward to growing with Reposite in 2023 and beyond.” — Alicia Moneyhun, Vice President, Partnerships at LamontCo
