Lead Shark Launch: Hotel-Specific AI Sales Intelligence Built for Speed
Austin, Texas - February 13, 2026. Jacaruso Enterprises has launched Lead Shark, an AI-powered SaaS platform built for hotel sales teams that need faster access to qualified prospects and verified decision-makers. If your team spends hours hunting down contacts, validating data, and piecing together account insights, this removes that drag so you can get to revenue activity sooner.
Why it matters for hotel sales
Outdated info and manual research slow down outreach, weaken timing, and waste pipeline cycles. Lead Shark brings account discovery, market context, and verified contacts into one place, so sellers spend less time searching and more time booking meetings.
What Lead Shark does
The platform unifies prospecting, verified contact intelligence, market data, and competitor analysis in a single workflow. It's built around the daily reality of hotel sales-search for exactly what you need or let the system surface relevant companies and decision-makers based on market conditions and where you stand against competitors.
Key capabilities
- Verified decision-maker contact information
- AI-driven lead recommendations informed by market data and competitor analysis
- Real-time market insights
- Unlimited company and contact searches
- An AI-powered sales assistant for prospecting and strategy support
Grounded in real hotel sales execution
Jacaruso has nearly two decades of field-tested hotel sales experience, supporting more than 750 openings and delivering remote sales service to thousands of hotels since 2007. Lead Shark packages that know-how into technology that helps teams move faster and with greater precision.
Built for single properties and portfolios
Whether you run one asset or many, you get a centralized view of potential business across your footprint. Teams can evaluate accounts, prioritize the best opportunities, and move from research to outreach quickly-and with confidence in the data.
"Today's hoteliers do not have time to chase the wrong opportunities," said April Eskelson, Vice President of Bold Moves at Jacaruso. "Lead Shark removes the guesswork. It makes it clear who to contact and where to focus so teams can move faster, sell smarter, and drive results."
Availability and pricing
Lead Shark launches February 16 and will be available to individual hotels and multi-property portfolios. Pricing scales based on the number of properties. Learn more or request access at jacaruso.com/leadshark.
