Build an AI Team that sounds like the host you are — trained on your voice, your guests, your properties, and your destination, running on my proven vacation rental marketing frameworks. You lead the strategy with a professional marketer in your corner. Your agency does the work.
Yet, here you are trying to figure it all out. On your own. You join the groups, listen to the experts. Watch the trainings. Facebook. Instagram. Email marketing. Book direct website. Google Business. You have enough on your plate just managing your properties.
AI was supposed to be the miracle that could make marketing (and managing) easier.
You keep hearing how others are making it work with amazing results. But you're fighting with a bot who makes up amenities, sounds like...AI slop, and doesn't know one thing about this business it is supposed to be helping you with.
Sometimes it's absolutely incredible and you think you've finally figured it out. Other times you spend more time fixing the output than you'd have spent writing it yourself. And even if you do get the voice dialed in, you still have to re-explain, find the right thread, figure out where you left off. Every new chat starts with you re-explaining your property, your guests, your destination, all over again.
That's not a marketing system. It's a jumbled mess of AI nonsense.
You are still the bottleneck because you have to tell it what to do and when. And to be honest, you aren't always sure. When hosting (and life) gets in the way, marketing breaks into pieces.
You're throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping someone books.
Maybe you've taken one of the hundreds of AI courses, workshops or bootcamps, but then realized they aren't made for hospitality. They're made for online marketers or entrepreneurs. You didn't sign up to get a marketing degree or become an expert prompt engineer. You just want a simple system that helps fill your empty calendar.
You're a great host. Your reviews prove it. But what comes out of that chat window sounds like a bot wearing your name tag, and some days like a drunk intern gone rogue.
But AI isn't a drunk intern. It's the employee that nobody trained properly.
Because hospitality marketing should sound like great hospitality, not bad AI.
Every enrolment includes The Hospitality Design Studio ($97).
Pay in full and the Destination Authority Accelerator ($297 value) comes with it.
You wouldn't trust your cleaning with someone that didn't know how to clean. And you wouldn't trust your marketing with someone that didn't understand marketing. You'd hire someone with experience. Then you'd train them on your business, your properties, and the way you want to run things.
Yet that's exactly how most people are trying to use AI. Right out of the box, without giving it the foundational training so it understands what it is supposed to do, why and how.
Which is exactly why it disappoints them. AI is only ever as good as what it's been given. Vague positioning, thin property details, no real sense of who you're talking to — and you get vague, thin, generic work back. The problem was never that the tool wasn't smart enough. It's that nobody ever told it anything worth knowing.
This is also why more agents won't save you. Everyone is selling autonomy right now — AI that goes off and does the work by itself. But an untrained agent just makes generic mistakes faster, and without a plan behind it, ten of them produce ten disconnected pieces of content nobody asked for.
And that's the problem the Savvy Host AI Lab takes care of. The Lab is the program. What you walk away with is your own AI Agency.
I hand you a marketing team already trained on my hospitality marketing frameworks, built through years of trial and error with hosts all over the world. Then we do it in the right order.
And then it stops being a chat window. You are not creating from nothing anymore. You have a coordinated system that follows a plan you built with AI.
Imagine waking up on October 15th with a system in place and content ready to approve and schedule.
Everyone working from the same source of truth. Everyone knowing what to produce, and when. And if December is booked, it moves on to the next season without missing a beat.
That's the difference between AI that kinda-sorta works, and a trained AI agency built the way a real marketing agency works. With a coordinated strategy across all team members. Where everyone knows what's going on and understands what they need to produce. And when.
Every host in your destination is using ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to help them with their marketing. AI is no longer an advantage. The foundations, strategy and training are.
In the Savvy Host AI Lab we spend four weeks training Claude on your business foundations, with my strategy behind it, before your team ever writes a word.
Is it a lot? It's real work. So I built the program so you actually finish it.
BUILD YOUR AI TEAM →What happens when you actually train it.
“I’ve done avatar work before, but this guided me through developing my avatar much better than anything I’ve had before. I actually feel like I know her. My first Facebook post with the AI received 10,000 views, 180 likes and 18 comments. Because I spoke directly to my avatar. Your AI Team works!”
“Jodi’s blogging tools and Claude Skills and training have saved me hours creating not only more content, but better content. I see results every week when I check where we’ve been cited.”
Ten specialists, each trained on your brand, your guests, and your destination. Together they handle the work that used to land on your plate at the end of every long day.
Here's the structure: you're the CMO. You lead. Under you sit your directors, who set the plan, and your specialists, who do the work. Every one of them trained on your business, all working from the same source of truth.
The end of sounding like everyone else. Turns your guests, voice, and story into a Hospitality Brand Bible™ every other teammate works from.
Ends the guessing. Builds a six-month roadmap around seasonality, availability, booking windows, and direct-booking priorities.
Keeps marketing moving when operations get busy. Maintains the 90-day plan and repurposes one strong idea across channels.
Guests choose the destination before they choose the property. This is the teammate that gets you into that conversation early.
Gets you found by the guests already searching. Blog content built from your destination knowledge and your avatar, ready for your approval.
Your listing is the one piece of marketing that never stops working. This teammate treats it that way.
Keeps past guests from becoming forgotten guests. Campaigns and sequences that continue the relationship after checkout.
Turns "what do I post?" into a plan. Captions, Reel and video storyboards, and Facebook content that speaks to the right guest.
Keeps your 5-star reputation five stars. Guest messages and review responses that sound like your hospitality, not a template.
Stops admin from swallowing the marketing day. Also the one who keeps everybody else on schedule.
Works with the tools you already use, where your stack allows. Approved work can move into repeatable workflows for email, blogs, social, and guest communication. You approve the work; the system reduces the repetitive steps between idea and publication.
Not a fictional cabin. Not a staged prompt demo. This is a real Claude conversation with a real client, Track Rental in Saratoga Springs, using their Listing Specialist trained on their brand voice, their racing-professional guest avatar, and Saratoga racing-season knowledge.
Disclaimer: Created with the Savvy Host AI system using real business and destination foundations, with human strategy and review.
Built just for the vacation rental industry.
A System that isn't built on prompts. It's built on 40+ hours of teaching transcripts from my work with vacation rental hosts and students across the world over the past 11 years. It knows how I teach. It knows how I think.
Airbnb meets them after they decide where to go. Your marketing should meet them before.
Your AI marketing team is trained to do exactly that.
Before we build the team, we build the brain: the guest avatars, positioning, brand voice, property knowledge, destination intelligence, and marketing plan every specialist needs to do useful work. That's the difference between a cheap setup that hands you disconnected bots and a trained system with real business intelligence behind it.
The Savvy Host AI Lab is not just learning AI, it's learning the marketing frameworks I've been using and teaching for years. The skills teach as you go along: explanations, demonstrations, and quizzes throughout. Once you are done, you'll be able to direct your new team because you understand why it matters.
You don't just get an Instagram caption writer with a hospitality label slapped on it. You get a Social Media Specialist following the strategy that helped build a 60K Instagram following. A Content Specialist built from an SEO expert whose client content ranks on page one of Google, and gets cited in AI. Your Social Media Specialist follows a strategy set by your Marketing Director and Content Manager. It considers what property is available, which guest it needs to reach, what they're planning and worrying about, the amenities that matter most, the booking window, the season, and the next action to invite.
These are Skills I've built, tested, and refined with real vacation rental and glamping businesses in multiple markets over the past eighteen months. Not a demo. The real thing. And I'm sharing them with you.
Your AI team works because the strategy works. That's what you're paying for.
“The defining feature of Jodi’s approach is a deliberate constraint: that the Skills won’t produce usable output until the underlying brand work is done first.”
Heather Bayer · Host, Vacation Rental Success Podcast
Foundations first, then the team, then the output.
That's what separates a trained marketing system from another folder of AI tools.
Watch what your team knows at each stage. That's the whole design. And we're going to have fun doing it. You'll learn a ton along the way, and not just about AI. The foundation weeks are where your own business will come into focus — even if you think it already is.
Setup, workspace map, naming standards, guided first workflow, Skill install, readiness output Jodi reviews, Framework overview.
Your team knows: nothing yet. That's the point.
Week 1 is a guided sprint. Four days, an hour a day, and we build your Perfect Guest Avatar and your Hospitality Brand Voice together, live. You finish the week with updated listing copy written from that foundation, ready for modern search and AI-assisted discovery. That's your first win, in Week 1, not Week 8. Weeks 2 to 4 finish the rest of the Hospitality Brand Bible™: brand story, offer matrix, review intelligence, property and listing knowledge, Destination Brief, competition and positioning.
Your team knows: nothing yet at the start. By the end, everything about who you are and who you're for.
Six-month roadmap, Guest Journey Content Map, and the strategic plan every specialist will follow.
Your team knows: who to talk to, what to say, and when it belongs.
Content Manager, Content Specialist, Social, Email, Guest Communications, Productivity Assistant, 90-day plan, and editorial calendar — plus adding connectors, where possible, to automate the repeatable work.
Your team now has the business knowledge and strategy it needs to begin useful work. You review and approve before publish.
Week 9 opens with a second Get It Done sprint, four days, an hour a day, so momentum doesn't die when the cohort ends. Then community, topical discussions, Skill drops, and marketing feedback. Troubleshoot, refine, and expand the system, closing with a two-hour group Show and Tell where you share what your team is building and leave with your next-step priorities.
The goal is not to produce more content. It's the right marketing for the right guest at the right point in the booking journey, without rebuilding the strategy every time.
I've spent more than two decades building brands and marketing strategies, with the last 14 of those in tourism and hospitality. I'm not a host who got lucky and started coaching. I'm a career marketer who chose this industry on purpose, and I've spent that time helping small operators build profitable businesses by focusing on their guests. I call this the Guest First Framework™, and every strategy I teach is based on that core message.
As an early adopter of AI tools like Jasper, then ChatGPT, I made all the mistakes, gave up completely, then went all in on Claude, learning to train AI to do the real jobs I needed help with for my clients: avatar development, marketing strategy, email newsletters, and blog drafts.
Here's what all of that means for you: you don't need to become an AI expert. You already have the most valuable raw material: your guests, your property, your destination. I teach the Claude setup, the workflows, and give you the team built on my frameworks. You bring the business knowledge only you have. That's the deal, and it's a good one.
“Structured, brand-first, and allergic to generic output — which is why I love her so much.”
Heather Bayer · Host, Vacation Rental Success Podcast
“I use Claude in every communication, every contract. Your impact is lasting.”
Karen Piscitelli · Explorabout
"I saw Jodi speak at the Vacation Rental Women's Conference and her session was worth the price of my entire ticket. Since then I've taken her courses and group coaching program and learned at every step, and through the process she helped me rethink my guest avatar and elevate the brand. Since taking the program our email list has grown by leaps and bounds and direct bookings are finally a reality."
"I went through many webinars and joined many Facebook groups and couldn't find someone who spoke to me. Until Jodi. I learned how to research and write blogs, how to create social content that works, and how to build guest avatars that are the base of our marketing plan. It's an investment that will pay for itself."
"Jodi has been my mentor for the past few years. She's masterful, especially with vacation rental marketing. Her coaching style is laid back and informative. If Jodi doesn't know the answer to a question, she'll find it and then create a quick walk-through video and share it with you."
"So much information in a very friendly, manageable format. Now I have all that powerful information I can pull out whenever I need motivating or redirecting. It's been two years since the program and she still checks in and cheers me on."
"Jodi revamped our property messaging and optimized our listings with fresh descriptions and stunning photos. She showed us how to update our headlines, titles, and image order to reflect seasonal changes and adapt during downturns. Thanks to Jodi's guidance, we reached Top 1% Guest Favorite status and saw a significant increase in bookings and profits for Tahoe Magic. We also successfully launched our San Diego property, a feat we couldn't have achieved without her support."
"We joined a Master Class Program from a seasoned STR expert. We learned a lot, but we still needed more. We engaged Jodi and got to work. All of it was distinctly different than anything the program had provided. Jodi encouraged us to price our STR at double the price of nearby STRs. She was right. Since launching we are running at north of 85% occupancy."
"One of our units produced a 50% increase in the first six months and we had our best year ever. She gave us a much better understanding of our data to make better marketing decisions."
"100% direct bookings in our first year with Jodi leading us the entire way — social media, email marketing, blogs and website. She did it all."
"Her marketing strategy and implementation skills are second to none — from helping us clarify our brand voice to building actionable, results-driven campaigns. Jodi doesn't just create a plan; she makes sure it gets executed effectively, and the results speak for themselves."
"Her help was crucial to understanding and growing our luxury vacation rental business, and we are almost 100% direct bookings. I only wish I had hired Jodi earlier, I'd be much further along in our business."
"I have worked with Jodi for nearly two years and in that time my business has grown from four to twelve properties. She has helped me with branding, TouchStay guides, systems integration, website, and social media. I couldn't have done it without her."
"Everybody's going to have the same set of tools, but yours is based on all your experience and knowledge. That's the thing that makes the big difference for anyone serious about setting it up."
Before there was a Lab, there were clients. I have been doing this work for hosts at $5,500 to $7,500 a build. Not teaching it. Doing it. The Lab is how you learn to build it yourself, with me in the room.
Claude design training for creating your own branded graphics and web pages. Included on either payment option.
Keyword research, SEO, and AEO best practices, plus Skills for stronger listing descriptions and blogs. Arrives in Week 9.
My Show-Up-and-Succeed Promise. Here's my promise: for the first four weeks of the program, do the work, install your Skills, and turn in your foundational documents. If it's still not clicking, you get two private working sessions with me to get your foundation finished. Your results are my job, as long as you're doing yours. I'm not about to let you fall through the cracks.
Would you rather do this one to one? I also run this privately, with you or your small team, on your schedule and against your own portfolio. Private engagements start at $3,500. Book a call and we'll talk it through →
Onboarding opens the day you enrol · First live class Wednesday, August 26 · Closes Monday, August 24 or when 10 seats fill · Requires Claude Pro (~$20/month)
Every specialist below is a trained Skill you install, keep, and run in your own Claude account.
You're not joining a webinar with hundreds of muted attendees. Limited to 12 so Jodi can review real work, answer real questions, and troubleshoot live while you share your screen.
The weekly rhythm: 2 hours per week of instruction and support.
1 hour 15 minutes Wednesday — Watch Me, then Do on your own.
45 minutes Thursday — Show & Tell & Troubleshoot. I share examples and answer questions, with marked time for finishing that week's assignments.
2 hours per week — an open Zoom call for questions, strategy support, feedback, help getting unstuck, and tech support with Claude.
One full month inside the AI Lab community, with a 2-hour monthly get-it-done week, plus weekly topical discussions, skill drops, prompt support, marketing feedback and more.
The Claude Skills teach while you do, so you understand the why and the how. When you are working on your own, without me in the room, you know how to make those decisions yourself.
What you own: everything your team produces, every document, output, and piece of content, permanently. Your Hospitality Brand Bible™ and foundational documents are portable and work with ChatGPT, Gemini, or whatever comes next. The Skills themselves are yours to keep and use in your business for as long as you like. You own your team and everything it makes. No ongoing membership is required to keep any of it.
The eight-week build fits best under 30 properties across no more than two destinations. Bigger than that, you can still join, get the Skills, and learn the whole system, just know some of the foundational work will run past the eight-week scope, and my one-to-one program may be the better fit. Either way, you can start with the Lab now. I'd rather you hear the honest math from me than find it in Week 3.
No. Week 0 gives you setup, a workspace map, short videos, and a guided workflow. Experienced users can skip the videos and submit the readiness output.
Claude Pro, ~$20/month. Built in Claude Cowork; works with tools you already use for email, websites, SEO, blogging, and marketing. No proprietary Jodi software to buy.
An agent is AI that takes actions on its own — it decides the next step, uses tools, and keeps going without you prompting every move. What you build in the Lab is a set of trained Skills: your business knowledge plus my hospitality marketing frameworks, packaged so a specialist produces real work on request. Some of it can move into automated workflows later, where your tech stack allows. But autonomy was never the useful part. An untrained agent just makes generic mistakes faster. The training is what makes either one worth having.
It handles research, planning, drafting, and repeatable work. You approve the strategy, supply current information, and make the final calls. A marketing department, not autopilot.
Less than the hype promises, and far more than you are doing now. The hours come back on research, planning, first drafts, and repurposing one strong idea across channels. Where your tech stack allows, approved work can move into repeatable workflows so there are fewer manual steps between idea and publication. What stays with you: approving the strategy, supplying what is current — rates, availability, what is actually happening this weekend — and the final read before anything goes out. I would rather you hear that now than be disappointed in Week 7.
Everything your team produces, permanently. Everything. Your Skills, your foundation documents, and everything your team produces. Permanently, with no membership required to keep any of it. The only thing you can't do is sell or give away the Skills themselves.
Time-intensive: 3–5 hrs/week in the foundation weeks, 2–3 in Weeks 5–8, lighter in 9–12. Hosts say the time was worth it for how much they learned about their own business.
You can absolutely work ahead. The foundational Skills are available to download and start using immediately. Once your foundations are done you'll have a check-in with me, and I'll open the team member Skills from there — so I know the foundation is ready before the team gets trained on it.
Everything is recorded, plus Thursday office hours and the community.
Not a lock-and-leave refund, because the Lab only delivers when you do the work. My promise: for the first four weeks of the program, do the work, install your Skills, turn in your foundational documents, and if it's still not clicking, you get two private working sessions with me to get your foundation finished.
Four weeks of business training, a coordinated strategy, a complete team, direct review from Jodi, and permanent ownership of your outputs. Not a prompt library. Not a new agent every month.
The team stays yours. Optional Savvy Host community at $97/month for new Skills, monthly training, hot-seat troubleshooting, AI updates, and continued access to Jodi. You keep everything you built if you leave.
Yes, with one caveat: the eight-week build fits best under 30 properties in no more than two destinations. Past that, some foundational work runs beyond the cohort, and my one-to-one program may fit better. You can still start with the Lab now.
Your content is structured for stronger AI visibility and designed to improve discoverability. No one can guarantee rankings or citations, and as George Strait would tell you, anyone who does is selling you oceanfront property in Arizona.
The only question is whether your marketing sounds like your hospitality, or like everyone else's AI. Be the property guests choose on purpose.
