Is Lack of Financial Skills denying you promotion opportunities?

No one likes to confront missed opportunities!

Are you a Front Office Manager (or at an equivalent level) with less than 3 years of experience?

Are you (or could be) losing promotion opportunities to that Director of Rooms or Operations or higher position?

Are you being passed up for promotion because of your lack of financial skills?

Are you losing that promotion opportunity to someone who has good financial skills?

Or are you just realizing yourself that you are lacking in financial skills?

If you hesitated even a little answering those questions, you could be vulnerable.

To what you ask?

Well, it is a proven fact that without good financial skills, you cannot aspire to higher positions.

These higher positions require financial decision making and analytical skills a great deal.

Moreover, in this post covid-19 era, where hotels are struggling to regain revenue levels, financial skills are critical.

Do not be left behind just because:

• You are afraid of financial skills or 
• Think financial skills are difficult to acquire.

Any skill is difficult to acquire in the beginning.

Financial skills are no different.

As a professional finance person with more than 25 years of industry experience, I can confirm one fact to you.

Acquiring financial skills is not rocket science.

You can acquire it and become financial savvy if you commit yourself to it.

You have no choice if you want to grow professionally and get those promotion opportunities.

I will lay out a strong case for a solution that more than meets your situation.

However, you must make acquisition of financial skills a key element in your professional development.

Believe me, you will be a lifelong beneficiary for that initiative.

Ready?

Let us dive right in.

What if I told you that there is a simple solution to acquiring financial skills?

What if I told you that the solution is one which is not difficult by any stretch of imagination?

What if I told you that the solution is something you can apply at your own pace?

Finally, what I told you that the solution is totally non-technical with no jargon and needs no kind of financial background?

What?

You are already looking at me skeptically!

Is there is such a solution?

I am glad you asked the question.

Yes, there is.
