In this interview we continue our discussion about the evolution of the revenue manager role, looking at how an RMS can liberate the revenue professional, how a lack of technology can hold them back and where the RMS needs to develop further to enable the revenue professional to realise their full potential

Topics covered include:

  • How many hotels are utilising an RMS
  • How does the RMS liberate the revenue professional
  • Time saving is a very limited reason to invest in an RMS
  • What more can an RMS offer the revenue professional
  • RMS like a GPS and not yet an autonomous driving vehicle
  • How does the RMS need to develop to help the revenue professional evolve
  • Focus of revenue professional if they were more strategic
  • How can you avoid following rouge hotels when they drop prices
  • Why is focus still room pricing when TRM and profit are hot topics
  • Segmentation and value of guests needs to be far more detailed
