The Rainmaker Group to Share Expertise at Revenue Management and Pricing Conference
Rainmaker Executive VP, Tom Walker, will speak at EyeforTravel Revenue Management and Pricing in Travel 2006 Conference
ATLANTA, GA | The Rainmaker Group, a world leader in revenue management software and services, announced that its Executive Vice President, Tom Walker, will speak on ‘Performance: Measurement and Improvement’ at the EyeforTravel Revenue Management Conference held October 4 – 5 in Chicago. The presentation will examine the importance of establishing key performance measures and using them to improve revenue management performance, as well as to document the benefits of revenue management efforts.
“Measuring program effectiveness is one of the most consistent failings of revenue management,” said Walker. “Operators are asking ‘What am I getting for my investment?’ Revenue managers need to be able to deliver a credible answer.”
