Technology innovations are paving the way for more educated decisions that will affect both operational efficiency and profitability at your hotel. It may seem daunting, but ditching Excel for a more comprehensive and user-friendly revenue management system will allow you to quickly pull reports and adjust prices on the fly.

- 32. Questions?
Notes de l'éditeur
- Jason will hand it over to Tim … Tim can give a few minute background, mention sales and property-level experience
- Creative – Can we get an image of someone sorting through a stack of spreadsheets?
- T – this is an “in summary” page, highlighting the key points from the last four slides
- T - ONE PLATFORM Hotels are inundated with Data, there are too many data sets and tools that take time to review and are important for our decision making process, so by the time our team finish reviewing all of them, a lot of the data is no longer fresh or accurate.
- T – this is an “in summary” page, highlighting the key points from the last four slides
- C- Could we get an image of a bunch of people around a meeting table?
- T - (mention alerts to changes in demand, competitive pricing and other changes the system identifies)
- Creative – Can we get a screenshot of a page on the app where third-party data would be factored?
- Creative – Can we get a screenshot of what’s discussed here? T - AND immediately implement rate changes from that same page in the application
- Creative - possibly the same stock shot from before showing a bunch of people sitting around a meeting table
- C – this image could work here
- T – Let’s spend a good amount of time on this slide and touch on each of these--STR, Web Activity, Weather, Air Traffic, Reputation Management—expand on each of them a bit. If you need hypothetical examples of how each could affect demand at a hotel, I should have that.
- Creative – Need some type of image to explain ROI – Perhaps a bill or a briefcase full of money ;)
- Creative – can we get an image of a generic chart showing increases?
- Creative – can we get an image of a business person calm and under control, maybe looking at his watch? T- this is an important point, we should spend some time explaining it, perhaps with an example or two.
- T – Touch on each of these and explain what they are if you havent already, but most importantly note that a system allows you to do these things easily whereas with Excel it is almost impossible
- Creative – Do we have a slide showing how RMS fits into the grand scheme of hotel technology?
- Tim, to beef up this presentation a bit, let’s spend 3-5 minutes at the end discussing once you’ve made the decision to implement some RMS technology, how do you go about researching and choosing the right one?
