Anniversary Marketing Opportunities

Are you an order taker or an order maker?

“The bad news is that the lodging industry will have to create a new generation of order makers as opposed to order takers. Many hotel sales and marketing associates have never lived through a downturn and have no idea how to create or attract business in a down market. Those hotels who fail to do so will cease to exist!”

So said Jack Westergom, Chairman and Managing Director or Manhattan Hospitality Advisers in an interview he did in January 2002 with Jim Butler the Chairman of Jeffer, Mangels, Butler & Marmaro’s Global Hospitality Group. JMBM operate one of the world’s premier hospitality practices in a full service law firm. Check them out at http://www.jmbm.com. I think Jack Westergom’s advice is applicable to all hospitality and tourism industry businesses. This page is designed to give you information to help you become an order maker.
