In Summary:
Meet Gary! He has a job called a Pricing and Revenue Manager. This means he is in charge of the computer software that sets prices, and he tracks all the information about bookings that come into his company.
If you visited Gary at work, here is what you would find out about him:
• He works on a computer: You would mostly see Gary at his computer all day looking at his pricing software. He checks the booking information from the day before and plans ahead for the next few weeks and months.
• He looks for patterns: Gary is good at data analysis (looking closely at information) and forecasting (predicting what might happen with money in the future). He also looks for trends in the market.
• He wanted to play sport: When he was younger, Gary actually wanted to be a professional cricketer, but that plan didn’t quite work out. Instead, he studied business and economics from the age of 16.
• He used to be a teacher: Before he did his current job, Gary actually spent some time working as a teacher.
The best part of Gary’s job is problem-solving. For example, if a property (like a house or building) isn’t doing very well, he works hard to find a way to fix the issues and help his clients improve.
