Summary
The rebrand only adds value once the segmentation and product are fixed. Learn how a bold wholesaler cut rebuilt rate quality and moved RGI from 81 to 110. In this episode Luc Boschmans interviews Sophie Richard, who leads European asset management for M&L Hospitality and chairs HAMA Europe. - Cut a low-rated wholesaler base, accepting 13 percent occupancy loss to rebuild higher-quality rate - Sequence segmentation and product before rebranding so the brand change adds value - Treat aging product as a cleanliness and rate problem, not just a renovation line - Review segmentation yearly rather than every five years Sophie shares the full Brussels Midi case, from the segmentation cut to the four-star classification.
