Is it okay to send this invoice reminder on LinkedIn instead of email?

Yes if this team lead is actually active there and the thread isn't about payment details. Keep the LinkedIn version even shorter. Don't paste the full email. One context line and one question is plenty. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

Those three mistakes show up constantly in Hospitality inboxes and they all read as "this was templated." Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

What's a good hospitality follow-up that isn't a review request?

A specific thank-you, a useful local note, a missing-item check, or a direct-book offer for a return stay. Review asks work better after you've been helpful, not as the only reason you wrote. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

Commercial and calm. You're a partner in the decision, not a chaser. Don't email during Saturday check-in chaos and expect a thoughtful reply. Be useful on weekday mornings.

What metric should I mention to a Hospitality Team Lead?

Lead with occupancy, RevPAR, and direct-booking mix. That's the language this buyer already reports. If you can't connect your email to direct bookings leaking to OTAs and follow-up that ignores seasonality, you're asking them to do the translation work. They won't.

Body

Hi [First Name],

Checking whether invoice [number] is with AP or waiting on something from us.

The version of this that matters for GMs, revenue managers, and owners balancing occupancy, labor, and reviews is moved 9 points of mix from OTA to direct with post-stay follow-up that didn't beg. If this needs to be split across two cost centers, I can reissue it.

Offer to cut scope, split phases, or walk a second stakeholder through one page.

Who on your side should I talk to if this isn't your queue?

Best,
[Your Name]
[Your Title]
[Your Company]

Questions people ask before they hit send

Assume a process problem before you assume a no. Ask which layer is stuck and offer a thinner version. If you get nothing after a breakup note, archive it. Endless bumps after a proposal train them to wait for a discount.
