V.I.P. Strategy Day

A direct connection to me and my expertise in revenue management, direct booking strategies, online reputation and overall long lasting profitability of your property or local hotel chain... 

An accelerated mentoring & coaching experience for the hoteliers

and hospitality professionals who wants to drive more sales, exceed customer expectation and are aiming for long lasting profitability of their properties. 

Did I get it right? Let me guess....

You are running or owning an independent hotel or local chain. Your employees and guests are satisfied and your property is generating good revenue. You and your team are really good at what you do and the clients see it. Your property is your baby, your passion! You've also invested and implemented a lot to make it grow and you are aiming to achieve long lasting profitability. You are a true hotelier with heart and soul!

Still, there is the occasional moment when you are unsure, can't see your next step clearly or even feel like you can't see the forest for the trees. That moment when you just get stuck.

Your mind is exploding and full of questions: where is my hotel strategy and current sales / marketing / revenue approach lacking and what changes needs to be implemented achieving higher occupancy and/or higher ADR?
What can be done to achieve higher profitability? How to increase number of bookings? What are we overlooking so our direct booking strategy is not fullfilling our expectations?
How to drive loyalty and increase demand ?
How to implement revenue management in my hotel or what technologies and skill my team needs to drive better results? Or maybe you need one-day-distance from hotel operations.
And maybe you are heading back to basics: revisit why, re-evaluate who is your customer and how to make their stay even more elevating.

OVEWHELMING, ISN`T IT? 

In these situations, you would love to have a connection to an expert who you could nudge for a moment - but you don't want to commit to a full training programme 'just' because... you need an expert to guide you and coach you in this particular unclarity. 

You would love to have a connection to an expert who has revenue, sales and marketing experience as well as experties in implementing changes in the hotel including technologies. You would love to have a connection to an expert who will understand your struggle and will help you to discover the clarity for you and for your property.

Here is what others are saying

Thanks for great online training. I appreciate the detailed focus on dynamic pricing and revenue strategies combined with how this would be implemented in the hotel operationally. Even though I already knew what revenue management is and what is behind it, I was inspired by "new way of thinking" about pricing and the guest oriented approach.The new approach to market segmentation was very helpful for me. I welcomed the chance to hear the valuable experiences of other hotels and their questions during the training.
