He asked a simple question: \"What are you doing for revenue management?\" The answer? \"Oh, I use PriceLabs.\" Eric asked again: \"Yeah, but what are you doing for revenue management?\" That disconnect between having a pricing tool and having a revenue strategy is costing operators with $1M+ portfolios anywhere from $200K to $2M annually. And most don't even know it's happening. In this episode, Jasper walks through the fundamental concepts that actually drive revenue performance, why 99% of portfolios audited leave 10-40% on the table, and how one skeptical client went from $20K to $68K in weekly booked revenue in just 4 weeks.
