Rainmaker Executive Dan SkodolSkodol’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.”
