Revenue Management: Hard-core Tactics for Market Domination

In this eye-opening book, Robert G. Cross reminds us that cutting costs is not enough, and he shows how a powerful new strategy called Revenue Management can help any business dramatically improve its bottom line. Revenue Management - also known as RM - enhanced a company's performance through a combination of attitude, sophisticated technology, and state-of-the-art marketing techniques. Cross, whose consulting company has invigorated some of the world's largest airlines and hotel chains, draws on numerous case studies to present profit-making tactics that work in today's fast-moving marketplace. In describing how a one-chair barbershop, a regional opera company, and a medium-size airline all benefited enormously from the RM approach, he explains how no-tech, low-tech, and high-tech Revenue Management applications can revolutionize the way businesses make money. The RM-driven company has one overriding goal: to sell the right product to the right customer at the right time for the right price. Cross clearly explains the concepts at the heart of Revenue Management, exploding a number of existing myths about contemporary business strategy.
