Hospitality Property School Group offers strategies to assist hotels, resorts, inns and bed & breakfasts grow their patronage & profit.
Welcome to another edition of Hospitality Property School.
I am your instructor, Gerry MacPherson and today I am excited to be talking about the Hospitality Property School Group.
.
But before I begin, if have just stumbled on to this podcast for the first time and you don’t know who we are, let me tell you.
.
We are travel authorities that have come together with decades of hotel, resort, inn and bed & breakfast visitation experience.
.
This knowledge has given us at Keystone HDC the unique insight into the wants, needs, and requirements of the individual and group travellers, as well as the wants, needs and requirements of property owners and their employees.
.
Our aim, with these weekly podcasts, is to impart our expertise to owners and managers of hospitality properties.
.
Some of the topics that we have covered in past podcasts have included:
- Organizational Structure
- Employee Development
- Hospitality Property Challenges
- Customer Service
- Revenue Management
- Marketing
- Social Media
.
And we have no intention of stopping.
.
.
We will continue to offer strategies to help you increase your patronage and profit while keeping your properties individual integrity.
.
And you never have to worry about taking notes when listening to these podcasts as all the key points and suggestions for each episode will be included in show notes on
.
.keystonehospitalitydevelopment.com.
.
We want to make it easy for you to be able to benefit from our knowledge.
.
As I had mentioned at the beginning of this podcast, we are getting ready to make a huge announcement that we know will have a huge benefit to hospitality properties worldwide.
.
Your hospitality property can have the same success as Hilton, Marriott or Four Seasons. As successful as chains are today, they all started as one property. Stay until the end and I’ll tell you how.
.
Many hospitality property owners and managers are so consumed with the day-to-day operation of the property that maintaining or developing branding, enhanced marketing, ongoing employee training & facility upgrades are put on the back burner.
.
So what can happen if things start to slide?
- You might begin to feel overwhelmed
- Standards will start to drop
- Morale will deteriorate
- Customers will stop booking
- Revenues will fly out the window
.
.
So, what can you do if you find yourself in a rut?
Humans are designed to be social and to learn from observation and experience.
.
You need a place you can turn to, where professional, such as yourself, understand what you are experiencing and you can share with you up to date advice, ideas, and strategies.
.
.

If you go online and search social media sites, you can find groups in the hospitality property industry you could join, but none of them offers the social interaction, ongoing training tutorials, interviews with industry specialists, and specials offers to help your property flourish.
