SpeedRFP Testimonials

“Since replacing our previous online RFP form with SpeedRFP, the number and quality of RFPs Destination Hotels & Resorts received has increased exponentially.”

Andre FournierSenior Vice President of Sales & Marketing

Destination Hotels & Resorts

“We selected one of the most progressive hospitality technology companies in the US, Elite Meetings, to provide us with their unique, user-friendly technology. We selected them based on the way they utilize their tech-nology within their own business model which is similar to our own in terms of how we relate to clients and hotels.”

Craig JacobsSenior VP Group SalesPreferred Hotel Group

“I don’t know who came up with the SpeedRFP concept, but it’s so simple

it’s disgusting. Kudos to you and your team!”

Don Weintraub

Director of Sales & Marketing

Rancho de Los Caballeros

“Adding SpeedRFP to my web site was the best thing I did this year. My

online group leads have increased at least 30%, and beyond group leads,

we’ve seen significant volume increase in catering leads as well. Our entire

sales team loves the system and they find it incredibly easy to use. New

customers find us and we get new opportunities we didn’t have before using

SpeedRFP. And, current clients prefer to send their leads through

SpeedRFP because it saves them time.”Jerry Jensen

Director of Sales & Marketing

Westward Look Resort

“…I am absolutely addicted to EliteMeetings.com! The SpeedRFP system worked great so far! …I found your (site) to be not only easy to navigate but the tools and functions seem to be tailored to my planning needs.”

Kathleen Carfagno Globus Medical, Inc.

“How much do I love Speed RFP??? It's as easy as my iPad to use and the convenience of having all correspondence with hoteliers in one place saves me time-as much as 50%! The responses are easy to review and respond to.... I appreciate the simplicity and will continue to use it as often as I can. With Elite Meetings behind it, it has to be the best!”
