In this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, Eric Moeller interviews Jasper Ribbers, co-founder of Freewyld and Freewyld Foundry, about the fast-growing world of revenue management.
Jasper shares how their team scaled from managing a handful of Freewyld cabins to overseeing 66 clients, 1,600 listings, and more than $61M in revenue, and why most STR operators are unknowingly missing out on 20 to 40 percent of their potential income.
We also dive into:
- Why revenue management is not just a pricing tool
- The number one mistake operators make when setting prices
- How pacing (forward occupancy) reveals untapped demand
- Real case studies where portfolios jumped 25 to 40 percent in booked revenue
- Why strict availability and cancellation policies often backfire
