Greenwood Village, CO (PRWEB) February 23, 2004 --Carol Verret Consulting and Training announces the online availability of her Training Bytes Series. All four modules of Skill Sets For Hunters, training designed for hotel sales people presented as live web casts in 2003, are now available in electronic format from her web site at www.carolverret.com.

The Marketing Plan
New Realities for Hotel Sales: This year more than ever, the Marketing Plan is the most important thing you can do to ensure the success of your hotel and you! It is the process of thinking through what market segments to pursue, the effective allocation of precious resources and how you are going to win the competitive battle. You will learn how to assign a Return on Investment and how to measure the ROI on every thing you do for the coming year.
The cost for each module is $45 and includes a complimentary subscription to ResultsWOW, Carols monthly email newsletter dealing with hotel sales and customer service.
"The hotel industry is struggling with a soft market and trying to control expenses. Often, training is among the first items to be cut. Training Bytes allows independent sales training without the expense of air travel and hotel," says Verret, President of the company.
Training Bytes does not replace live seminars but it allows sales people to fill in the gaps in their skill sets and acquire new skills in specific areas. For example, when a new sales manager is hired, they usually have to wait for training until a seminar is scheduled. By choosing specific modules of Training Bytes, they can get a head start until they can attend a more intensive, live seminar.
"I often get calls and emails from new sales people wanting to know if I offer public seminars so that they can get some training." Training Bytes fills this need.
"I do my best to orchestrate plans for a staff of approximately 40 to 45 people. Like everyone else in our industry, we are struggling to do more with less, and navigating through change issues. We dedicate very little time to planning and strategic execution. Chaos is a norm. So... The good news is that my department heads, who are instrumental in any success we do enjoy are hooked on you, your newsletter and your wisdom."
