Carol Verret and Associates Consulting & Training works internationally and domestically to provide training and consulting solutions in hotel sales, marketing, revenue management and customer service. 

CVCT turns sales training on its ear and specializes in ramping up the sales system to make sales people faster and more efficient incorporating the Internet into sales processes -- from new business development to e-communication. 

Revenue managers become more effective by knowing which reports to access from whom and are given the resources to not only manage revenue but also generate revenue. 

Customer service training becomes behavioral and managers learn the metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of the guest experience the associate is providing.
