# How Harborview Hotel Group turned every reservation call into a coaching moment — and recovered $180k/year in the first 90 days.

Harborview Hotel Group operates four independent hotels on the Oregon and Washington coast. Reservation calls flow through a shared Mitel PBX. After deploying Deep Bench, the group moved their suite-upgrade offer rate from 38% to 61% across all properties — and the corporate revenue team got its weekly coaching digest on autopilot.

## The story

### How it played out.

Harborview operates four boutique properties with a shared reservations line flowing through an on-prem Mitel PBX. Before Deep Bench, the corporate revenue team ran quarterly mystery-shop calls — 10 per property — and relied on the FOMs to brief their teams in Friday shift meetings. Suite upgrades were a recurring talking point, but without a signal on who was offering and who wasn't, coaching conversations felt generic.

The Deep Bench deploy was deliberately narrow on Day 0: the four reservation lines only, a boutique-independent rubric, and the existing FOM as the coaching-digest recipient. By Day 7 each property had three pre-written coaching prompts every Monday, each grounded in a specific call clip the FOM could play in the huddle.

Within three weeks, a cross-property pattern emerged: weekend-evening suite-upgrade offer rate lagged midweek by 18 points. The revenue team moved their strongest weekend agent to a Thursday–Monday rotation and within four weeks the gap closed. None of this is available in a quarterly mystery-shop sample.

The group added the brand-compliance scorecard at Day 45 — pre-emptively, ahead of a potential flag conversation in 2027. The VP Ops now has a standing agenda item with property-level compliance numbers. Deep Bench produces the report; she adds the narrative.
