To successfully forecast future customer needs, it is crucial to understand the current business mix. This includes tracking industry segments driving revenue in your market and keeping an eye on active accounts that can be your top hotel sales leads.

Examining hospitality industry market trends prepares leaders for potential problems—like shifts in meeting size, to prepare lead generation strategies accordingly. Leaders can identify challenges arising from changing industry dynamics and address them to prepare their properties for the future.

Using Market Snapshot in the Hotel Industry

Market trends can be applied throughout sales processes and inform sales conversations. However, their impact can vary across leadership roles.  Let’s examine how hotel industry trends can assist general managers and sales managers when building a sales strategy. 

General Managers

General Managers are regularly asked to update asset managers, ownership, and other stakeholders on the state of their market. Using Market KPIs, a GM can easily access group trends with comparison period statistics to uncover insights they can report up or outside the property.

Review the details displayed in the market KPIs, which include: Booking Pace, Average Bookings per Property, Average Estimated Attendees, and Average Estimated Meeting Space Used for that market. For each metric, comparison details help you identify how key performance indicators may be changing. You can then compare this information to your own property metrics to gauge property performance relative to the market.
