I had 2 parties pre-booking: Group A-32 days and Group B-30 days
Group A did a pre-book with questions. Had to go out on limb to accomodate, did not feel like it was a great fit-for either of us.
Group B came in a few hours later. Same money, but much better fit-for both of us.
I explaned to both groups that I was looking at both deals, time was of essence.
Group B responded first, then Group A 30 minutes later.
Even though I would lose a little money, Group B is prefered. I have to bend rules and make unsettling accomodations for Group A.
Group A's revervation is blocking me from Accepting Group B.
I need to decline the second group to respond-Group A, so I can accept Group B. And I don't want to take a hit. Group B responded first and is a better fit.
How do I proceed? I have to respond quickly. Thank you.
