Who are taking my class as part of their core requirements. For those of you who know me personally and have had the opportunity. To talk-shop, you've probably heard me say this about our industry. To manage, it's not. While the principles. That's righ...

Thoughts of a hotelier. Wednesday, December 10, 2008. The Office Coin Toss. In the hotel business, like any other, premium office locations are rarely decided without some drama. This post offers some comical office memories and the story of today's coin toss. I can remember in one of my previous Marriott hotels. Oh, there was also the Residence Inn in Richmond. I was spoiled with an office suite there! Copy room, and it has access doors from both busy areas. There is a window, but the other has two.

Thoughts of a hotelier. Thursday, June 18, 2009. Hotel Contracts - Done Right. Be sure your customer understands what they are signing. Those pages matter and should be discussed before. Everyone signs in agreement. Each group is evaluated differently based on the pattern, program details, market segment, history, season, budget, etc. For some reason though, sales managers often fail to consider the group's realistic. The hotel and the customer. All this being said, yes, there will still be circumstances...

Thoughts of a hotelier. Tuesday, March 23, 2010. I had an epiphany.surely someone else already thought of this so I look forward to your comments. As online reviews gain traction as the preferred source of traveler insight, hotels around the world are struggling to control their marketing message.

Thoughts of a hotelier. Wednesday, November 26, 2008. From Selling Fried Chicken to "I'm Kind of a Big Deal". What's the big deal? Are a couple of thoughts you might be having. Wow is right. It is an incredible accomplishment for which she should be very proud! Well, it's pretty simple really - she gets it. What do I mean - what is IT?

Thoughts of a hotelier. Sunday, February 22, 2009. Most meeting planners are very familiar with names like Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton and Crowne Plaza; after all those types of hotels are host to countless meetings every year. However, names that meeting planners often forget to consider are those affiliated little brother/sister brands such as Courtyard by Marriott. Springhill Suites by Marriott.
