Recently, seven Revenue Matters associates had the opportunity to attend Hotel Sales and Marketing Association International’s ROC conference in Houston. Revenue Matters was actively involved in working with the advisory board to shape the content, conference session flow and I as a speaker’s coach and session facilitator—plus, our team served as room monitors for the breakout sessions. It is great to be able to re-invest in our associates and ensure that we remain on the cutting edge of the revenue management discipline. This has a direct impact on the service we can provide to our clients. We heard from great speakers and had the opportunity to network with suppliers too. We hosted a tapas night and enjoyed the company of many clients and contemporaries. Next year, the conference will be in Minneapolis and we hope to see some of you there!

Introducing Jill Sprankle, Director of Revenue Strategies

Jill has over 20 years of experience in hotel sales and revenue management, and possesses a strong dedication to sales leadership in meeting the challenges of running both full and select service hotel sales departments. Before joining Revenue Matters, Jill was Director of Sales for Hampton Inn & Suites, where she had great success, implementing a sales culture emphasizing profit and guest satisfaction, as well as customer service programs that increased loyalty and guest retention. Through the various positions she has held in her career, she has had the opportunity to gain experience in every sales position within major chains, including Hilton, Marriott and Wyndham. Her expertise in revenue growth, and passion for strategizing with hotel teams to increase market share and staff development has made her a key player in the ongoing success of her partnerships.

Her skills span multiple facets of the hospitality industry, including profit maximization through strategic market share growth; leadership, team building, training and motivation; and integrating sales and hotel operations to maximize profit, efficiency, morale and guest satisfaction.

Since joining Revenue Matters, Jill has enjoyed the camaraderie of being on a team, and has found that the art of multi-tasking, coupled with good time management and flexibility, are key factors when working in this often fast-paced industry.

What you may not know, but would love to find out:
  1. Jill's favorite family vacation spot is anywhere in the mountains.
  2. Jill's morning always starts with two cups of coffee, a quick game of fetch with her cat, Donald, and then right to work by 5am.
  3. At the end of a busy day, you will find Jill relaxing on the sofa with her husband watching the news (or their favorite family show, "The Middle").
  4. Jill never leaves home without her coupons! You never know when you’ll need them.
  5. If Jill had a Fairy Godmother, she would grant her more patience and more time in the day.
  6. With 3 young kids to keep her busy, Jill's favorite thing about being a mother is watching them do the things they love and knowing she is raising responsible and kind children.
  7. Jill's compassion for others and dedication to her coworkers makes her a true gift to the Revenue Matters team.
