Advisory

You serve business travelers. I show you the revenue traveler your offer misses.

Updated August 2026

Most hotels and platforms design for one blended persona: "the business traveler." That average hides the traveler arriving to move a commercial decision. In a 2025 GBTA poll, 58% of hoteliers expected business-travel revenue to fall. I turn field evidence into a clearer offer for the traveler with the highest stakes per stay.

What we do

Market diagnosis

I map where your product fails the revenue traveler's real workflow — demo calls, client hosting, recovery, and receipts — using Field Index evidence.

Offer design

I shape packages, amenities, and messaging around the trip's commercial job, then define what "business-friendly" must mean before a revenue team will choose you.

Sales-Ready audit

The independent property assessment behind the mark: quiet-room reliability, demo-safe connectivity, workable surfaces, client-hosting fitness, checkout friction.

Executive briefings

The state of revenue travel for your leadership team, benchmarks, category shifts, and where the next commercial advantage sits.

The boundary that keeps it honest

Advisory clients get my analysis, never my editorial voice. Engagements do not influence coverage, scores, or the Benchmark, and I publish that boundary so your customers can verify it. If you want kinder coverage, I am the wrong advisor. If you want evidence about why revenue travelers are not choosing you, brief the decision below.

A strong advisory fit

You have a specific policy, portfolio, offer, benchmark, or buyer decision; someone owns the outcome; and the evidence can change what the team does next.

What happens next

Rachel reviews the decision herself. You receive a written fit response inside one business day, including the recommended scope or a more useful self-serve path.

Brief the decision

Written fit response within one business day. A call is recommended only when it will improve the decision.
