We love hotel revenue management: a love letter to running your own business
February 14th is here again! Valentine's Day might be all about romance but, for us, it is running our own hotel revenue management business that gets our hearts all a-flutter.
So, in the spirit of St Valentine, here is an ode to striking out on your own…
VISION - setting up your own business means that you get to decide what path it takes. It's over Eight years now since we set up Octopus Revenue with the mission of providing a practical and cost-effective approach to hotel revenue management. We’ve never looked back!
ADVENTURE - you are in control of your own destiny. Every day presents new challenges, which of course become opportunities. The challenge: the global pandemic meant we could no longer provide our hotel revenue management training courses in person. The opportunity: we responded by launching OctopLus, our own eLearning platform!
LIFE BALANCE - working for yourself gives you the flexibility to fit work around family life, not the other way around.
EXPERIENCE - new markets, new initiatives, new technology…there are always opportunities to learn and grow.
NETWORKING - you meet so many interesting people and get to hear their stories. We love it so much that we worked with other hospitality suppliers to set up IN4Hospitality - a networking group for hospitality professionals!
TRUST - working so closely with clients means that you build wonderful relationships. They know their business is in safe hands. We have provided hotel revenue management support to properties around the globe - read their testimonials.
INDEPENDENCE - you are your own boss and it is glorious.
NEVER SAY NEVER - you have the freedom to take risks. Want to work in a different sector? There is nothing stopping you! Afterall, who knows what the future might bring…
ENDORPHINS - unsurprisingly, all of this makes you feel good! What’s more, for us at Octopus Revenue, knowing that we have added value to a business through successful hotel revenue management is the perfect Valentine’s gift.
We just love it. IDST.
