Think you’ve nailed your summer pricing strategy? Think again.
In this episode, I sit down with Emile Sakhel, an anesthesiologist turned STR revenue genius and founder of Pricing by Mira, live from our 2,200-acre mastermind ranch retreat. We talk about the #1 mistake most hosts make heading into peak season, the psychology behind “hedging,” and a game-changing pricing tactic you’ve probably never heard of: the ELF Method.
Emile manages over $1M in projected revenue for my top two Outer Banks properties, and his approach has consistently outperformed traditional pricing tools and methods. If you want to maximize your bookings and keep ADR high, don’t miss this one!
