Patrick Morton capped one of his properties at $650 a night. He thought that was what it was worth. Then he joined Freewyld Foundry, removed the ceiling, and watched it book at $1,000.
In this episode, Jasper sits down with Patrick, one of Freewyld Foundry's own revenue managers, for a look at what actually moves the needle: pricing, listing optimization, and the tactics the team has discovered by managing hundreds of properties together.
You will learn:
Why setting a maximum price on your listing is costing you bookings, and what Patrick found when he removed the ceiling on his own property
How Patrick grew one OR Getaways property from $39,000 to $55,000 in a single month by holding prices and trusting the data
Why high ratings and strong reviews are no longer enough to rank at the top of Airbnb search, and what actually moves the needle now
The single amenity Patrick added to a listing that moved it from page 8 to page 3 overnight
Why the answer when a listing is stuck at minimum price with zero bookings is sometimes to raise the price
We also talk about:
How Airbnb custom promotions can create visibility and urgency without actually lowering your effective price
What Jasper learned about hiring for values over skills after years of building the Freewyld Foundry team
How the weekly team brainstorm with ten revenue managers in one room produces better strategies than any individual could find alone
Patrick's full circle moment: from assembling furniture and listening to this podcast to sitting across from Jasper as a guest
