BT contracts and
LNR renewals, organized.
RFP response tracking, LNR renewal cycles, account history, contact map — the corporate sales workflow on one operator-built pipeline.
LNR, group, and RFP — three specialized pipelines, one system. Verbatim from a National Director of Sales review on Hotel Tech Report.
Why BT is harder than it looks
BT runs on cycles.
Spreadsheets don't.
Annual RFP windows, mid-year LNR adjustments, account check-ins on a calendar nobody owns. Generic CRMs don't model any of it. Spreadsheets forget the cycle the moment the seller does.
RFP response windows close fast.
Corporate buyers expect proposals in 24-48 hours. Without a queue, the SLA timer runs in someone's head. Matrix runs it for you.
LNR contracts disappear into Outlook.
When the contract is signed and the account manager moves on, the LNR terms live in a PDF in someone's email. Until renewal — when nobody can find them.
Account history splits across systems.
Last year's LNR rate, this year's RFP, the meeting six months ago, the consortium membership. Without one account view, you negotiate with half the picture.
How Matrix handles it
The product views built
for this work.
01 · Leads List
Every BT lead, every property, one queue.
MeetingBroker, Cvent, direct inbound, RFPs in someone's Outlook, consortium-routed business. Matrix consolidates active BT leads, stale leads, and aging RFPs across your portfolio — and tells you which ones are past your response SLA right now, before the corporate buyer notices.
02 · Opportunities Calendar
RFP windows and LNR cycles, on a calendar.
RFP submission deadlines, contract review dates, account renewal cycles — overlaid on the same calendar that holds your group blocks. The team that misses fewer windows wins more contracts, and Matrix is built to make the windows visible.
Three boards.
One source of truth.
From the National Director of Sales review on Hotel Tech Report: "Matrix's three specialized boards — LNR, group, and RFP — serve as centralized hubs for essential information and contracts, significantly improving both accessibility and organization." Operator language, not marketing copy.

How does Matrix track LNR contracts?
Each LNR lives as an account-level record with the rate, term, contract dates, and renewal cycle attached. When the renewal window opens, Matrix surfaces it on the Opportunities Calendar — not buried in a folder. The contract document itself can be linked or attached so the team isn't hunting for it during the renewal call.
Can we track BT and RFP separately, or are they one pipeline?
Separately. The LNR board, the group board, and the RFP board are distinct surfaces — verbatim from a National Director of Sales review on Hotel Tech Report. Each has its own stages and its own dashboard view. Cross-segment activity (e.g. an account that does both group and BT) shows in both boards from a single account record.
Does Matrix help with consortium renewals (BCD, Amex GBT, CWT)?
Consortium memberships are tracked at the account level, with renewal dates surfaced on the same calendar as direct LNR cycles. The team gets the renewal heads-up before the consortium portal does.
Is the system designed for multi-property BT teams?
Yes — every BT view supports both single-property and multi-property filters. A regional BT director sees the consolidated portfolio pipeline; a property-level seller sees just their hotel. Same data, two access patterns.
What about reporting — the corporate buyer side often asks for production reports.
The Performance Dashboard reports BT actuals against targets — production by account, rate index versus competitive set, room nights closed, and revenue contribution. Exportable when the corporate account asks for their year-in-review.
Run the cycle.
Don't be run by it.
RFP windows close fast. LNRs renew quietly. Matrix surfaces both before they slip — every account, every property, every cycle.
