ANANA × BUZZLEAD · THE HIVE · SEPTEMBER 2026
BuzzLead

Welcome to the Hive, Anana.

Ricardo, we just finished a run with Lumion, vertical SaaS for trade schools with a first marketing hire and no outbound. Anana is shaped the same way. It would have been wrong not to get this in front of you. So: a jar of honey, and the plan.

Underneath the jar: every US hotel property mapped, the 11,000 that look like your best-fit commercial teams, and three campaigns we'd run for Anana in the next 30 days.

PREPARED FOR RICARDO PANTALEÓN · NEW YORK CITY, NY · FROM ST. PETE BEACH, FL

Section 01 · Why there's honey on your desk

Three things came with the jar.

01

The honey

Raw, from a US apiary. Something you'll open instead of file.

02

This page

Your market sized, the customers you already win and the accounts that look like them, and three campaigns: TAM, lookalike, intent. Built for Anana.

03

The call

Twenty minutes with Troy and Nick. We bring the account list we'd start with. You tell us where to start.

Section 02 · The company shaped like you

Lumion: zero pipeline to 50+ meetings in 31 days.

Vertical SaaS for trade and technical schools. First marketing hire, no outbound, a niche of 10,000 to 30,000 schools. We mapped five sub-verticals, timed the CDL play to a Pell Grant policy window, and routed replies straight to their SDRs. Same shape as Lumion: a public registry of buyers, a founder-led sales motion, and a commercial team that needs pipeline now.

In the span of a month, we've had well over 100 positive responses. We've scheduled 45 to 55-plus meetings with an 80% hold rate.Andrew Jones, Head of Marketing, Lumion

Section 03 · The sweet part

What could be sweeter than 8,400 to 14,000 more of your best customers?

You already have the dream ones: the hotels that grow, retain, and refer others without being asked. We take those, run them through our lookalike tool, and find another 8,400 to 14,000 that look exactly like them. Then we run hyper-personalized, highly targeted outreach to every one.

Same size, same setup, same reasons to buy as the accounts on the right. Modeled, not guessed.

Section 04 · Your market, sized

Every cell is a hotel.

Every US hotel sits in a public registry with room count, brand affiliation, and the names of the commercial leaders who buy. We build the list from Google Maps and STR-style property data, enrich the DOSM, CRO and CMO contacts, and time the sends to the budget and RFP calendar.

Section 05 · Intent

You're the first supplier that comes to mind.

We'll actively monitor all 55,895 US hotel properties and reach out when the right signal shows up, so Anana is the first name a DOSM thinks of when guest and demand intelligence comes up.

  • New DOSM, CRO or GM hireLinkedIn and property press releases. New commercial leaders reset the tech stack in year one.
  • RevPAR or occupancy missPublic market reports by submarket. A soft quarter triggers budget for demand visibility.
  • Renovation or brand conversionFranchise disclosure filings and local permits. New flag means new commercial systems.
  • Review volume or rating shiftTripAdvisor and Google review counts. A spike signals a guest-experience problem worth investigating.
  • Group RFP postedCvent and supplier RFP boards. An open RFP means active group-sales evaluation.
  • Conference rostersHITEC, AHLA, NYU Hospitality Investment Conference. Anyone attending is shopping the category.

Section 06 · Three strategies, deployed together

TAM, lookalike, intent. Every angle, from day one.

This isn't one list and one email. We deploy three strategies at once, each with its own angle: the whole market gets the offer, the accounts that mirror your best customers get the proof, and anyone showing a buying signal gets a note the week it happens. Then we double down on whichever one the market answers.

STRATEGY 1 · TAM

Own the whole market

TargetThe ~11,000 hotels in your sweet spot: 100+ rooms, full-service or part of a multi-property group, with DOSM, CRO or CMO roles enriched from Google Maps and property data
AngleAI discovery tools are already answering guest questions and no one on the commercial team has seen the transcript
~11,000 ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 2 · LOOKALIKE

Mirror your best customers

TargetHotels that look like your best-fit accounts: full-service or clustered portfolios with a named DOSM or CRO already running a commercial function
AngleLead with the specific demand pattern their size and market segment tends to miss without a unified workspace
~8,400 TO 14,000 ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 3 · INTENT

Catch them in-market

TargetHotels showing a buying signal this quarter: new DOSM or CRO hire, a RevPAR miss in the market report, a review-volume spike, or an open group RFP
AngleA one-to-one note written from the specific signal, sent the week it happens
~3,400 PER QUARTER ACCOUNTS

The honey was the easy part.

Ricardo, we'll walk the three strategies above, show you the accounts we'd start with, and tell you what it would take. No deck.
