Today, we're excited to welcome back a familiar face, Colleen Prochaska, a key player in our property management team, managing everything from guest services to revenue management. In this episode you’ll get a peek inside our in-depth quarterly meetings where we review how things are going and where we're headed in our short term rental business.
In this episode, we'll be diving into the past three months of key performance indicators, reviews, and team dynamics, as well as forecasting strategies for the next three to six months, sharing key strategies for property management and business growth along the way.
We share insights on what we’ve learned leading virtual teams, how we optimize revenue through data-driven decisions, and adjust strategies for better occupancy. We also discuss our customer service expectations, and how Colleen wonderfully handles guest communication and feedback. Finally, we take a look at how we are preparing for seasonal shifts. If you feel lost or intimidated by the analytics side of your short term rental business, this episode will be your guide to leveraging data to grow your business!
