Pull Over Now!
If you’re in the Vacation Rental Industry and are not listening to this podcast, you’re missing out! Sarah and Tim are smart, funny and so willing to share their knowledge with others. I keep a Notes folder open in my phone every time I listen and have shared many episodes with my team. You never know what you’re going to learn. Maybe it’s a discussion about sheets or spices, or a deep (30 minute) dive into budgeting or owner acquisition. Your time listening to this podcast is well invested. Thanks for doing the work for us S &T!
Triple Sheeting Secrets and Laughs Unfold!
Sarah Bradford's podcast interview at VRWS was a blast! As the host, she managed to turn our conversation about triple sheeting and guest experience enhancements into a hilarious yet informative session. Her knack for steering the discussion while keeping it light and engaging was truly impressive. It felt less like an interview and more like a casual chat among friends—except with expert insights sprinkled in! If you're looking for a podcast episode that feels as cozy as triple sheeting and as enlightening as the latest guest experience trends, Sarah's episode is a definite listen. It's like checking into a five-star podcast experience!
Necessary education
I started my own vacation property management company and having never worked in the industry nor know anyone personally that does, I have been attending the school of Sarah and T. Their great tips, strategies, wisdom have been invaluable. I can’t thank you enough Sarah and T. You are my number 1 mentors! I also respect how NOT money hungry you are to monetize your show but you are worth listening to commercials for !
