answers this question with his ground-breaking approach to
revitalizing businesses: focusing on the revenue side of the ledger
instead of the cost side. The antithesis of slash-and-burn methods
that left companies with empty profits and dissatisfied stockholders,
Revenue Management overturns conventional thinking on marketing
strategies and offers the key to initiating and sustaining growth.
Using case studies from a variety of industries, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations, Cross describes no-tech, low-tech, and high-tech methods that managers can use to increase revenue without increasing products or promotions; predict consumer behavior; tap into new markets; and deliver products and services to customers effectively and efficiently. His proven tactics will help any business dramatically improve its bottom line by meeting the challenge of matching supply with demand. |
