Alpharetta,
GA – November 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / The
Rainmaker Group (Rainmaker), a leading provider of cloud-based hospitality
revenue and profit optimization software, announces that Dan Skodol, the
company’s vice president of revenue analytics, will be a featured speaker
at the Best Western Hotels & Resorts 2017 Annual Conference, which
will be held Nov. 7-10 at Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center
in Nashville, Tenn.

Skodol’s
presentation, titled ‘Comp Set: Getting it Right – The Relationship
Between Benchmarking and Performance’, will take place Tuesday, Nov.
7, from 1:30 p.m.–2:30 p.m. and from 3 p.m.–4 p.m. The presentation will
cover comp set best practices; correlation between the nature of price
competition within markets and RevPAR
performance; and using technology to outperform the competition.
Skodol,
who has an extensive background in the hospitality industry, joined Rainmaker
in January 2014. As the company’s vice president of revenue analytics,
he is responsible for product strategy, research oversight, analysis, and
modeling for Rainmaker’s core hospitality software products. His career
experience includes senior positions in the hotel, casino and airline sectors,
and he is a frequent speaker on a wide variety of revenue management topics,
ranging from forecasting to capital planning.
“Benchmarking
not only helps hotels find opportunities in the market but also reveals
whether a property’s strategies have had an impact on performance,” said
Skodol. “Hotels that want to beat the competition must stay on top of key
metrics and make pricing decisions that improve revenue outcomes. Technology
is integral to this process, giving hoteliers access to real-time data
so that rates can be set accordingly. This is an important and relevant
discussion, particularly for properties in highly competitive markets,
and I look forward to sharing information and insights with attendees.”
