HOW THIS COURSE MAKES YOU STAND OUT.

If want to have the skills to take your revenue analysis where
your PMS and RMS can’t go, then you have to take this course.



Profit from the analytics talent shortage!
This certificate will confirm that you are among the Elite Hospitality Revenue
Pros.
Welcome to the era of Hotel Revenue Science!


I TEACH YOU THE EXACT TECHNIQUES THAT I USE EVERYDAY AS A HOTEL MATHEMATICAL
PRICING AND REVENUE OPTIMIZATION CONSULTANT.

Hi I am Robert Hernandez. I am a Hotel Revenue Science and Guest Analytics
consultant for 4 and 5 star properties.  I want to teach you everything I know
and help you avoid all of the mistakes that I have made. It took me 15 years of
learning Revenue Modeling the hard way and 10 years doing analysis for every
department in the hotel business to become a Hotel Revenue Discovery expert. In
this course I have condensed everything you need to know into 16 hours of easy
training. I teach you the skills that you will use every day and don’t waste
your time with stuff that is never used.

BECOME A ROOMS OPEN PRICING EXPERT!
MASTER HOTEL PRICING SCIENCE.

Empower yourself with the practical skills you need to become an Rooms Pricing
Master.
You will learn how to build pricing models with the greatest revenue potential.
If you have an RMS, this training allows you to challenge its pricing
assumptions.
If you don’t have an RMS, you will be able to build pricing models that
surpass the sophistication of any pricing model on the market today.
You will learn to challenge biases and assumptions using data-driven arguments.
Be the smartest person in the room when discussing Revenue Optimization.




“Wow, what a great course! I have just completed it and I wish I had done it
many years ago! It would have helped me so much during my career as a DORM. Many
systems (PMS or RMS), especially ones that are commonly used by independent
hotels offer limited types of reporting to be used for demand analysis. These
system often don’t take into consideration the uniqueness of each business
either. This course certainly provides a great tool to learn about data
analytics, from how to retrieve the data through the entire process to be able
to analyze production, make pricing decisions and create forecast.”

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOUR MIND WAS TRANSFORMED BY AN RM COURSE?

THESE SKILLS WILL MAKE YOU AN ELITE HOTEL PRICING TALENT

 DOWNLOAD DETAILED TOPIC LIST (30KB .PDF) 


PART 1: YOU WILL UNDERSTAND ANY HOTEL’S DEMAND PATTERNS USING PROBABILITY AND
STATISTICS


YOU WILL LEARN:

 * What PMS data should I be analyzing.
 * How do I predict occupancy for any day.
 * What are the chances that the hotel will sell out.
 * What days of the year should I analyze together.
 * What is the value of a smart rate decision.
 * What pickup is likely to happen most of the time.

Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease volume.



Lesson #18: Probability of Achieving a Certain Occupancy by Guest Type

This lesson covers the probability expectations for selling a certain number of
rooms to each market. This is one of the last topics in Part 1. Leading up to
this lesson you would have learned to calculate and understand the
Probabilities, Standard Deviation, and the Normal Distribution. This topic
covers just one of the concepts required to build all the Revenue Optimization
Models in Part 2.

Most advanced RM courses teach you theory and then it is up to you to struggle
with how to apply it at work. As you will see, we avoid “theoretical exercises”
and instead teach all the concepts using real PMS data.




PART 2: YOU WILL KNOW HOW TO DECIDE ON THE BEST ROOM PRICES USING MATH.


YOU WILL LEARN:

 * How do I measure the strength of demand.
 * How do I decide on how many group bookings to accept.
 * How do I know which leisure bookings to deny.
 * How do I measure how people will react to your rates.
 * When should I raise or lower rates.
 * How do I change rates when inventory changes and by how much.
 * How do I predict Revenue, ADR, and RevPAR.
 * What are the two pricing techniques that the best 1% of hotels use.
 * When should I use discounts and promotions.
 * How do I price peak dates.
 * What is the best rate for each room type.
 * How much inventory should I sell in each channel.

Lesson #24: The two main Mathematical Pricing algorithms

This lesson is a top-level overview of the two Revenue Management algorithms
which are covered in Part 2. Capacity Control is used for forecasting by most
RMS systems while Dynamic Pricing is slowly being introduced by hotel companies
using customized models. These two models are the foundation of mathematical RM
for any industry and every hotel RM needs to master these two approaches to
optimization.

University-based, advanced RM courses cover the theory and formulas behind
Capacity Control and Dynamic Pricing but they do not show you how to use PMS
data to apply them. In Part 2, both algorithms are built from scratch using real
transactions.




PART 3: YOU WILL BE ABLE TO EXTRACT REAL-TIME DATA FROM ANY SYSTEM.


YOU WILL LEARN:

 * How do I get any data I want from any system.
 * Where do I get data for rate analysis.
 * How do I bring the data together.
 * How do I measure how people will react to your rates.
 * How do I filter the data so that I can understand it.
 * How can I create any report.
 * How can I automate any report.

Lesson #80: Summarize raw PMS data using SQL

For junior analysts to Data Scientists, Excel and SQL is still, by far, the most
popular platform for intelligence discovery and dissemination. This course will
teach you how to master the process of manipulating tables of raw PMS data to
extract insights that lead to great decisions. In the era of Big Data awareness,
this is now the demanded skill set in every type of organization, both large and
small in every industry.




PART 4:  YOU WILL BUILD AN AUTOMATED RATE DECISION MODEL IN EXCEL.


YOU WILL LEARN:

 * How can I answer any PMS data question.
 * How do I clean PMS data in Excel.
 * How do I summarize the data.
 * How do I build the tables I need to analyze pricing.
 * What formulas help me “dig” into the data.
 * How do I create “Power” formulas for my rate model.
 * What are the Tricks that Excel experts know.
 * How do I create reports that no one else can.

Lesson #56: Optimal Price by Room Type Model

This is a portion of one of the lessons covering the calculation of the optimal
price for each room type.  Sticking to a static markup for superior room types
is one of the most inefficient and costly practices in the hotel business.  In
this course you will build an automated pricing model that separates transaction
level demand data for different room types and will suggest the mathematically
optimal price for each.  This model is applicable whether you have 2 room types
or 20.

at any property. While we cover very advanced topics, they are taught in a
simple, yet dynamic, journey through a proprietary case-study that is developed
from real PMS data. You learn how to transform that data into profitable
decisions.

Designed and taught by a hotel analytics & hotel data science expert, this
course is specifically designed to deliver the practical knowledge that will
launch you into the next level of your professional career.

MOST RM COURSES FOCUS AN A SPECIFIC SOFTWARE OR PLATFORM, THEREBY LIMITING YOUR
ABILITY TO TRANSFER YOUR KNOWLEDGE TO OTHER SYSTEMS.
NOT THIS ONE.

THIS COURSE IS VENDOR AGNOSTIC. WE DO NOT PROMOTE OR LIMIT THE COURSE TO ANY
SPECIFIC RMS, PMS, STATISTICS PACKAGE OR ANY OTHER SOFTWARE.  WE ALSO DO NOT
PROMOTE ANY THIRD PARTY COMPANIES OR CONSULTING SERVICES INCLUDING OWL.  THIS
COURSE IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY UNIVERSITY, HOTEL ASSOCIATION OR HOSPITALITY
COMPANY.
