What if we told you there are five better ways to find interesting businesses around your city hotel, without even stepping outside?

David Kijlstra has some powerful strategies that can give you an edge:

1. Crunchbase: Discover fast-growing companies in your city that your competition isn’t targeting.
   
2. Google Maps: Many hotel sales managers use Google Maps incorrectly. Google categorizes businesses like “Software Companies,” “Investment Banks,” and “Corporate Offices.” Type * followed by these terms in the search field to find great businesses nearby.
   
3. Chamber of Commerce: Fast-growing companies often start in co-working spaces. Enter the address of your local WeWork or Spaces into the Chamber of Commerce database to find registered companies.
   
4. Google Alerts: Companies often issue press releases when opening a new office. Set up Google Alerts with terms like “opens office Copenhagen” or “opening office London” to get instant notifications of new businesses in your market.
   
5. With LinkedIn (especially Sales Navigator), you can identify the most interesting accounts in a city within 1-2 hours.
