For a typical STR portfolio managing 20-50 properties, that means dozens of high-intent inquiries slip through weekly.

With 58% of travelers preferring phone for complex bookings (multi-unit stays, pet policies, early check-in requests), forcing them to voicemail doesn't just lose a single booking — it hands lifetime value to OTAs.

For vacation rental managers juggling guest intake, cleaning turnover coordination, and key handover logistics, the phone is the highest-converting channel — yet it's the most neglected.
