Revenue Management and Sales & Marketing �
Strategic Alignment

February 28, 2006 - The year 2006 represents the Perfect Storm for maximizing revenue in the hotel industry � increasing demand, stable supply equal higher REVPAR. There are those hotels and hotel companies who will not maximize this opportunity because their Revenue Management strategies aren�t aligned with the Sales and Marketing strategies.

The second in the series of Revenue Management training bytes web casts explores this disconnect and the alignment of these two vital functions. �These two functions are so complementary that it mystifies me why many times they are not in sync with each other. This web cast will explore the opportunities to maximize revenues through the strategic alignment of Revenue Management and Sales and Marketing � the pitfalls and the rewards,� says Carol Verret, President of Carol Verret consulting and Training.

Revenue Management and Sales and Marketing � Strategic Alignment is designed for Revenue Managers, Sales and Marketing executives as well as GMs and owners who are looking to move their revenue management processes to the next level.

At the end of this web cast you will:

Appreciate the synergy between these two functions and departments
Understand and be able to develop specific strategies to maximize revenue from groups sales
Be able to implement marketing programs that are complimentary to the rate and pricing strategies
Understand and be able to develop Customer Relationship Management campaigns that will enhance revenue in periods of both high and low demand
Be able to design compensation programs for both departments that compliment the revenue goals of the property and the company
Have an overview of �best practices� in the industry in relation to these issues

Subsequent web casts will deal with the Revenue Manager�s Role and Daily Disciplines and Considerations in evaluating a Revenue Management System.
.

Revenue Management and Sales and Marketing � Strategic Alignment
