Today’s guest is a vacation rental industry professional in the widest sense. Having honed his skills with some of the biggest names in the business, Eric Mason brings all his multi-faceted skills to the industry and is impacting it in many ways, from advising dynamic start-ups to moderating the largest LinkedIn group in the vacation rental space.
As an early-adopter of LinkedIn, Eric saw it as a tool for networking with peers, and so the Vacation Rental Professionals Group was born. Free of solicitation and annoying ads (thanks to the hard scrutiny of his team of moderators), the group is home to a vast resource of industry knowledge and experienced VR owners, managers and suppliers. Got a pressing question? There is someone out there who has an answer for you. Want to share an experience? Expect to find empathy and support.
