Sales and Marketing Manager OR Revenue Manager?
The difference is that while the Sales and Marketing department focuses primarily on sales themselves—finding new markets, signing more contracts, and attracting more group business—the Revenue Manager focuses on multiple functions such as finance, average rates, customer acquisition cost, marketing, sales, and customer satisfaction.
The Revenue Manager knows which reservation to accept and which to decline in order to achieve optimal occupancy at the optimal price.
Why do many hotels in Bulgaria not rely on such a position?
