"It's super important that we don't miss taking care of our team members, who are the hoteliers in our hotels." - Dina Belon, President of Staypineapple Hotels Reading this quote from Dina Belon at the 2024 ALIS Summer Update conference resonates deeply with me as a broker. In the world of real estate, just as in hospitality, our greatest assets are our people. While technology and market conditions constantly evolve, the relationships we build and the care we show to our teams and clients are what truly make a difference. In my experience, it's the human touch that transforms a transaction into a long-term partnership. Taking care of our people isn't just good business; it's the cornerstone of creating exceptional experiences and enduring success. #HotelIndustry #Hospitality #Leadership #Innovation #AI #CustomerExperience #EmployeeEngagement #RealEstate #BrokerLife #CoStar

Real talk vs. Fake talk. Miriam Ramsey and I join Scott Fasano, Adam Norko & Conrad O'Connell on The Art of Hospitality podcast to discuss: - Short-term perspective is challenging with lower nights booked and lower average daily rates - Long-term prospects of the industry are strong b/c travelers value experience and vacation rentals offer great experiences - People/companies raised expenses when times were good and now cuts are difficult - Social media influencers promoted how easy the industry is, but now it’s hard. (we name people like Wil Slickers) - Short term, we need real talk from people with experience - Vacation rental management is hard - What happens if/when last minute bookings don’t come - Costs are up across the board - Get lean and set expectations - Low commission and high overhead doesn’t work - Many in the industry are facing a downturn that they’ve never had to face before - We need to hear from professional managers that have done this before - There is a large portion of the industry that doesn’t make money, or worse, is losing money - Unit count means nothing - V-Trips has trimmed down 1,000 units - Do a P&L for all units - Get rid of bad units - Profit matters - Value of “old guard” vs. “new voices” - Happy talk vs. real talk - People are in very difficult situations - We should be cutting travel expenses - Time for financial discipline - Value of learning from the best - Challenges ahead for conferences - Challenges for vendors - How does Steve grade V-Trips - Value of local brands - Value of constructive criticism - Value of change & the opportunities that arise - Value of apprehension and attention to detail Click here now for the podcast: https://lnkd.in/en24ew-S

📚 I was discussing Malcolm Gladwell’s book “Outliers” with Shawn D. Nelson, CEO of Lovesac. We delved into the idea that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert in any field. This concept, popularized by Gladwell, highlights the importance of dedication and long-term commitment. 💬 Alex Hormozi once said, “If you can wait 90 days for a result, you can win. If you can wait a year, you can win big. If you can wait a decade, you can be the best. If you can wait a lifetime, you can change the world.” This resonates deeply with Gladwell’s example. ⏳ Are you willing to play the long game? Success isn’t an overnight journey; it requires patience, persistence, and the willingness to invest your time. #Outliers #MalcolmGladwell #10KHours #Expertise #LongGame #Dedication #ShawnNelson #Lovesac #AlexHormozi #SuccessJourney #Patience #Persistence

The hotel room you booked last week just got more expensive. Frustrating, right? But dynamic pricing is the secret sauce to hotel revenue growth. Pricing based on seasonality is just the tip of the iceberg. Savvy hotels also adjust rates by day of week, length of stay, and real-time occupancy. Small tweaks make a big revenue difference. How to master the pricing game like the pros? Check out my post (link in the comment) to learn how data-driven, granular pricing strategies can unlock serious RevPAR growth.
