Consultant Work

So what does everyone think about consultant work and hiring outside consultants to assist with revenue management decisions and managing 3rd party sites etc. ? I have recently started this and have only found one property that is willing to work with me so far. I found that independent properties are much more open to it however wondered if in chains and larger properties this was worth pursuing!

Hello and wolcome Cheryl,

This is a very good question you brought up regading revenue consultant work. for the most part consultants work with independent properties because of the size of the hotel. Larger properties or chain hotels have Regional or VP revenue managers that advise the revenue managers on property; therefore outside consultants are not needed. I hope this answers your question.

Have a great day!

Hi Cheryl, I like it and out sourced revenue management for a number of hotels in Miami. I had each property send us their reservations 3 times a day. We optimized based on a pure supply and demand model and brought there revenues high! I also associated with independents.
