Unlocking revenue potential through sales and revenue management alignment

Apr 1, 2025

In today’s increasingly competitive hospitality landscape, aligning sales and revenue management is more than a best practice – it’s a necessity. As outlined in The Hotel Sales Playbook, particularly in Chapter 11 by Dan Skodol, this synergy is crucial for maximizing hotel revenue and achieving sustainable business success. When these two disciplines collaborate effectively, they unlock powerful, innovative strategies that elevate performance across the board. However, without strong communication and shared understanding, this relationship can falter, leading to missed opportunities and revenue shortfalls.

Key takeaways

  • Collaboration is critical: Sales and revenue management must work together creatively and strategically to respond to market opportunities with tailored solutions.
  • Mutual learning: Team members in both roles benefit from understanding each other’s methodologies and perspectives, enhancing overall performance.
  • Communication challenges: A lack of communication and data-driven decision-making can derail collaboration, negatively impacting both sales and revenue.
  • Commercial team model: Many hotel companies are now integrating sales, revenue management, marketing, and distribution into cohesive commercial teams focused on a shared revenue goal.
  • Sales considerations: Sales professionals should evaluate business value holistically, considering not just room revenue but also incremental spend, relationship-building costs, and concessions.
  • Revenue management lens: Revenue professionals must weigh group displacement risks, transient impact, and pricing sensitivity while also recognizing the strategic value of long-term relationships.
  • Shared flexibility needed: Sales must understand the dynamic, situational nature of revenue management, while revenue teams must move beyond purely analytical frameworks to appreciate the full value picture.
