Topics include:

  1. Distribution strategy – which channels and why? Cost implications, branding implications, marketing implications, revenue implications.
  2. Commercial Technology strategy – what choices to make to PMS, RMS, CRS, Channel Manager, cost implications, training implications, integration implications and more.
  3. Branding strategy – join a chain, stay independent, what type of chain and why? (global, regional or  local).
  4. Building commercial teams – on-property, central, clustered, more sales people, less sales people, digital marketing person, revenue manager(s), training and education costs, outsourcing and more.
  5. Customer Centricity. About delivering the promises made, managing the perception and trust of the brand on social and digital media through the experiences delivered.
  6. Data and CRM strategy – GDPR, personalization, loyalty programs and guest recognition.
  7. Calculating ROI on marketing and sales activities / spend and how to communicate to the business
  8. Sales Theory, Sales Strategy, Sales Leadership and Hands-on tips.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner sessions with the “experts” would allow you to fine-tune your plan and get more information on what you are missing or guidance and recommendation to strengthen your business plans.

At the HSMAI Commercial Summer Camp you will be forced to think about all the pros and cons and why decisions are being made and the strategies behind this. This allows you after your return from the summer camp to have genuine discussions with your boss and Senior Management about these types of strategies and you can play a much larger and important role within your company.

Already during the Spring, as soon as you have signed up for the Summer Camp, you will get access to some of the experts that will give you some homework so are well prepared in August.

You will also get access to our digital platform where you can communicate with other attendees.
