A live 2-day revenue management challenge

Your nightly rate is the last decision, not the first one.

Your Pricing Is Talking: A Revenue Management Challenge

Two afternoons to learn the decisions that come before it, working inside your own property with revenue managers who do this every day.

Can't make it live? No worries! You'll get the replay.

You open your calendar on a Tuesday morning.

There's a gap.

Three weeks out. Four nights open.

Last year, you'd swear those dates were booked by now.

So you do what everybody does.

You drop the rate.

Maybe $15. Maybe $30. You tell yourself you'll put it back if things pick up.

Then you check again Thursday.

Still open.

So you drop it again.

Is this actually a problem — or is this just what October looks like in my market?

You don't know.

And not knowing is the part that keeps you checking.

Stressed host analyzing calendar with price drops
SAME CALENDAR. TWO VERY DIFFERENT APPROACHES.
One reacts. One reads the data first.
REACTIVE
Open dates
Lower rate
Still open
Lower again
STRATEGIC
Read the data
Diagnose
Choose the lever
Act intentionally
Here's the scoop.

Most of us learned revenue management backwards.

We learned to react to the calendar.

Open dates feel like an emergency, so we lower the price. Bookings come in, so we raise it. Something feels off, so we change a setting somebody mentioned on a podcast.

That's not a strategy. That's a reflex.

And reflexes are expensive. Because when you lower a rate that didn't need to be lowered, you don't get a warning. You just quietly earn less than you could have, and the booking that would have come anyway comes at a discount you gave away for free.

When you don't adjust a rate that did need adjusting, that's expensive too. It just costs you in a way that's even harder to see.

You're being asked to interpret data nobody ever taught you how to read - and then make a financial decision based on your interpretation. Every single week.

Of course it feels like guessing.

You're guessing.

So what are the decisions that come before the rate?

There's a whole chain of them — and most owners never realize they're making them.

Comp Set

Are you comparing your property to the right competition?

Booking Window

When do guests in your market actually book?

Minimum Stays

Are your restrictions helping bookings — or quietly blocking them?

Base Price

What should your pricing actually be anchored to?

Market Data

What is the market around you telling you right now?

Pacing + Seasonality

Are you behind, ahead, or exactly where you should be?

Every one of those is knowable.

Not guessable. Knowable.

The numbers are already sitting there. Nobody's shown you how to line them up so they tell you a story.

That's the entire point of these two days.

This isn't a webinar. It's a working session.

The Revenue Management Challenge is two live afternoons where you learn from revenue managers who do this every day. Then that evening, you put it to work inside your own pricing tool.

So by Thursday night, you haven't just heard how revenue managers think. You've made real decisions in your own pricing tool, with a reason behind each one.


Your property open. Your pricing tool open. Hands on the keyboard.

You'll choose one of three tracks based on where you are now, with a revenue management expert guiding the work.

Two hours a day. Two days. That's it.

Pick your track

Same challenge. Same experts. Three starting points — because “I've never opened my settings” and “I adjust my pricing weekly and still can't tell if I'm on track” are not the same problem, and they shouldn't get the same training.

TRACK 1

Build your foundation

Understand your market. Understand your settings. Build your revenue management foundation.

This is your track if: you know revenue management matters, but you don't feel confident managing it yourself. Maybe you connected your pricing tool and haven't touched much since setup. Maybe you changed a setting because someone told you to, but you couldn't explain why.

What you'll build in the room:

  • Your Market Dashboard, so you finally have a place to look instead of a feeling to consult
  • Your initial comp set, so you stop comparing yourself to properties that were never your competition
  • Your Booking Window Snapshot, so you know whether open dates should concern you — before you panic-drop your rate
  • Your minimum stay strategy, so your restrictions help you get booked instead of quietly blocking you
  • Your foundational pricing review, so your core settings match your property instead of somebody's default
TRACK 2

Find, understand, act

Interpret your data. Identify opportunities. Make intentional changes.

This is your track if: you know the fundamentals. You can navigate your tools. You understand what a comp set and a booking window are. But you look at your numbers and still think, okay: what does this actually mean, and what should I do about it?

What you'll build in the room:

  • Your refined comp set, so the properties you're competing against are ones you'd actually defend
  • Your Booking Behavior Analysis, so you know what normal looks like for your property instead of borrowing someone else's
  • Your Property vs. Market Snapshot, which answers the question underneath every slow week: Is this happening to everyone, or is this happening to me?
  • Your Revenue Opportunity Audit, so you know where the money actually is
  • Your intentional adjustment — one real change, made on purpose, with a reason you can say out loud
TRACK 3

Optimize & scale

Measure your performance. Diagnose the gap. Build a repeatable process.

This is your track if: you're already actively managing revenue. You're comfortable in your tools, you're making adjustments, and now you want a real process for answering: am I on track, and if not, why not?

What you'll build in the room:

  • Your Revenue Performance scorecard — the small number of metrics that actually tell you something, instead of all of them
  • Your Revenue Health Check, run against your real property
  • Your Performance Diagnosis, so when there's a gap you find the cause instead of assuming your price is wrong
  • Your optimization decision — which lever, if any, deserves pulling
  • Your 30-Day Revenue Action Plan: what you're changing, why, what you expect, what you'll watch, and when you'll reevaluate

What the two days look like

Day 1 — Wednesday, October 14 · 2:00–4:00 pm ET

2:00

The Revenue Management Roadmap (Expert Panel)

Revenue management is so much more than changing your nightly rate. Our panel maps the full lifecycle — what they actually watch, the mistakes they see most often, and the numbers that should be driving your decisions. You'll leave this session knowing what to pay attention to for the rest of the challenge.

2:20

Track sessions

Your track. Your property. Hands on the keyboard.

3:20

Learning revenue management in real life: the lessons, mistakes, and breakthroughs

I sit down with my son, Brendan, who went from knowing virtually nothing about revenue management to actively managing pricing across my portfolio. The learning curve, the mistakes, the moment it clicked, and what he'd tell you if you're the one staring at your pricing software wondering how you'll ever figure it out.

3:35

AI + the future of revenue management

Where AI genuinely helps you interpret data and spot opportunities — and where it will get you into trouble if you hand over the reins. Practical, current, and honest about the limits.

3:55

Wrap-up

Day 2 — Thursday, October 15 · 2:00–4:00 pm ET

2:00

Kickoff

2:05

Track sessions

Back into your property to finish what you started.

3:05

DIY or hire a who?

Just because you can manage your own pricing doesn't mean you should. We'll break down the time, attention, and skill set this really takes, the signs it's time to hand it off, and — if you decide to hire — what a revenue manager should actually be doing for you and what to ask before you trust someone with your pricing.

3:25

Expert hot seat

Real properties. Real numbers. Real questions. Watch experienced revenue managers evaluate a property live and decide which levers to pull — pricing, minimum stays, booking windows, comp sets, pacing, market data. Bring your hardest question or learn by watching them work through someone else's.

3:50

Pricing By Mira

These aren't personalities with an opinion about pricing. These are experts who manage revenue for a living, looking at your questions and telling you what they'd actually do.

By 4:00 pm on October 15, here's what's different.

You stop reacting to your calendar and start reading it.

That's the whole shift. The decisions that come before your rate become visible, knowable, and yours.

You'll look at an open week and know whether it's a problem or a Tuesday in October.

You'll know which properties you're genuinely competing with — and stop measuring yourself against a place down the street that was never your competition.

You'll have a reason for your minimum stays. An actual reason.

You'll be able to tell the difference between the market is soft and my pricing is off, which are two completely different problems with two completely different answers.

And the next time you feel the urge to drop your rate, you'll have somewhere to look first.

Data over drama. That's not a slogan here — it's the actual method.

Revenue management learning session illustration

This is for you if…

  • You're making pricing decisions and you're not fully confident they're the right ones
  • You want to understand why a setting matters, not just be told to change it
  • You're willing to have your property open and do the work in the room
  • You'd rather know what your numbers say than guess and hope
  • You're tired of getting six different answers to the same question in a Facebook group

This isn't for you if…

  • You want someone to review your calendar individually and tell you what to charge (this is learn-and-implement, not a done-for-you audit)
  • You want a recording to file away and get to eventually
  • You're looking for one magic setting that fixes everything

What you're probably thinking

I'm already stretched thin. Two afternoons is a lot.
That's exactly why this isn't a passive webinar where you take notes to implement "someday." You do the actual work inside the session on your own listings, so you walk away with your rates set and decisions made — not another to-do list item.
I already have a pricing tool. Isn't it handling this?
Pricing tools are algorithms — they adjust numbers based on formulas, but they don't know your business strategy, your minimum margins, or your local context. This challenge teaches you how to direct and manage those tools rather than letting them run blindly.
Shouldn't I already know this by now?
Almost no one teaches actual revenue management in short-term rentals — most hosts are taught to just set a base price and hope. You're not behind; the industry just gave everyone the wrong playbook.
What if I'm behind everyone else in the room?
You pick your track on Day 1 based on where you are right now (Foundation, Find/Understand/Act, or Optimize & Scale). You'll be working at your level alongside hosts tackling the exact same challenges.
Stacey - Founder of The STR Sisterhood
OUR FOUNDER'S STORY

I'm not the revenue expert in my own business.

Hi, I'm Stacey.

I'm a real estate investor, property manager, co-host, and educator - and the founder of The STR Sisterhood.

For years, I didn't have to manage revenue day to day because I had a revenue manager doing it.

Then last January, mine left. Abruptly.

Suddenly I had a portfolio to protect, a calendar to manage, and no firsthand experience doing revenue management myself.

How this challenge came to be

01THE PROBLEM

My revenue manager left, and I needed someone in the business who actually understood revenue management.

02THE TRAINING

My son Brendan wanted to work in the business, so I sent him to real revenue management training with people who do this for a living.

03THE BREAKTHROUGH

Within a few months, Brendan was actively managing revenue across our portfolio.

04THE REALIZATION

Brendan wasn't the only one who needed to learn. I still owned the strategy, and I needed to understand revenue management well enough to lead it.

So I learned it too.

From Jake at Step By Step BNB. From Emile and Adam at Pricing by Mira. From Kyle at PriceLabs.

Those are the same experts teaching your tracks this October.

I didn't go hunting for experts to headline a challenge. I invited the people who taught me.

AND THE RESULTS?
24.6% ↑
RevPAR growth year over year
across the portfolio
REVPAR / YOY

That's the measurable difference.

Revenue management is a real, learnable skill.

That's why this challenge exists - and why Stacey isn't the one teaching the tracks.

When somebody in your business genuinely understands revenue management, it changes how decisions get made.

Maybe that somebody is you.

Maybe it's someone you hire.

Either way, you should understand it well enough to know whether it's being done well.

FAQ

When is it?
October 14–15 from 2:00–4:00 pm ET both days. It is a live, interactive 2-day working challenge hosted on Zoom.
How much?
$197 total. That gives you full access to all three learning tracks, live working sessions, expert hot seats, templates, and full replays.
Will there be replays?
Yes! If you cannot make the live sessions or want to revisit the material, you will get complete access to all recordings and materials afterwards.
Do I need a pricing tool to participate?
No prior pricing tool is strictly required, though having one (like PriceLabs, Wheelhouse, or Beyond) allows you to apply the levers directly in real time.
What if I'm not sure which track to choose?
We will guide you through choosing the right track during the kickoff session, and you are welcome to explore and switch between tracks based on your experience level.
Will I get feedback on my specific property?
Yes. Real properties from participants will be reviewed during the live expert hot seat sessions, giving you direct, actionable feedback.
What do I need to have ready?
Just your laptop, access to your property calendar and booking data, and your pricing tool if you use one. Everything else will be provided during the session.

You already have the data. You've had it the whole time.

Sitting in your dashboard, in your booking history, in your market.

What you haven't had is somebody to walk you through what it means and stay with you while you do something about it.

That's October 14 and 15.

Two afternoons. One property. A revenue strategy you built yourself and can actually explain.

I'd love to have you there.
