Meet Assaf Karmon, Co-founder & CEO of Turno — a marketplace that helps vacation rental hosts and property management companies simplify and automate cleaning.

Assaf was born and raised in Israel and as a kid his dream was to be a professional soccer player.

And while that dream never came to fruition, in part because Assaf spent most of his early sports career sitting on the bench, the determination, boldness, and focus he garnered as a child trying to level up his game, has enable him to become the entrepreneur he is today.

In this episode, Assaf and I discuss:

The founding story of Turno
The recipe for a successful working relationship with your cleaning team
What separates the best cleaning teams from the rest of the pack
His thoughts on working with one team in a market vs a multiple teams in the same market to reduce risk
And the biggest opportunities he sees for entrepreneurs building new companies in the hospitality space

Oh, and one last thing — Turno has graciously offered Behind the Stays listeners a $150 Amazon Gift Card after you complete your first turnover with them! Simply go to turno.com/behindthestays to claim this offer before March 31st, 2024.

This episode is brought to yo buy our friends at Booklee.

Booklee like a Linktree designed exclusively for Airbnb hosts and STR property managers.

If you’re listening to this podcast, chances are you’re a hospitality entrepreneur that cares about building a brand for your Airbnb/STR business and that’s why many of you invest so much time into building your presence on Instagram.

Knowing where to direct your Instagram followers to is always a challenge:

Should you send them to your Airbnb listing directly to show off your incredible reviews?
Or to your direct booking site which is a little clunky to navigate on mobile but will save you 10-15% if your follower books direct?
Or maybe you’re testing out VRBO and Booking.com

Well, what’s amazing about Booklee is that you don’t have to decide.

Booklee allows you to create a stunning link-in-bio page that showcases everything about your property across all platforms. Booklee pulls in and aggregates your reviews across Airbnb, VRBO, and other OTAs, and invites guests to book via your direct booking site or their preferred OTA.
