Implementation + service + guest satisfaction = Sales
Let us explain:
The hotel employee besides selling the hotel stay also promotes the restaurant, the bar and any other optionals available. By doing so, the employee provides more service to the guest, more so than what would be expected, with only when the guest has left the hotel ‘more than satisfied’ and their ‘sales’ task is done.
Hospitality Skills uses a fine tuned method, to handle revenue management by coupling the guest experience with pricing. This includes not only short, but also long term improvement in the guest experience and maximising the turnover of your company.
