Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Scottsdale, United States, one to one, remotely and in Mountain Standard Time (UTC-7).

Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Scottsdale: MLB Spring Training in February and March; WM Phoenix Open in early February; Snowbird season from January to April; Golf and pool-home demand. Guests I price for: Golf groups, snowbirds staying 2 to 8 weeks, and bachelorette groups in Old Town Scottsdale. Where I start: A steep winter-to-summer seasonal spread, monthly snowbird rate cards, and event premiums that begin 90 days out for pool homes.
Scottsdale resorts and hotels rely on golf, events and winter leisure. My hotel career helps with event-week length-of-stay controls, group and corporate meeting pricing, summer resort packages for locals and a comp set divided between Old Town, North Scottsdale and Phoenix resorts.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Scottsdale.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“Scottsdale has one of the steepest seasonal curves I work with. A pool home can earn several times more per night in February than in July, and snowbirds booking 4 to 8 weeks bring a different kind of revenue from golf groups and bachelorettes. The strategy is about protecting winter from being cut into short, low-value stays, while giving summer a floor that still covers costs.”

Barrett-Jackson at WestWorld, the WM Phoenix Open, the Arabian Horse Show and Cactus League games stack up, so I price each event week individually and protect weekends for groups.
Spring Training ends, but golf and pool weather stay strong; I keep weekend rates near peak and begin offering midweek specials for late-season visitors.
Heat returns, snowbirds leave and I shorten minimums, offering weekly stays and promoting pools and shade to Arizona and California drive-in guests.
Extreme heat brings local staycations and resort-style weekends; I price weekends for Phoenix residents and keep weekday floors that cover cooling and pool costs.
Cooler weather returns, NASCAR at Phoenix Raceway brings a November spike and holidays lift late December, so I raise weekend rates and open monthly snowbird stays from January.
Price January to April as the main season, with WM Phoenix Open, Spring Training and Barrett-Jackson as their own higher bands.
Offer monthly snowbird rates from November onwards, but only for dates that are unlikely to sell as higher-value short stays.
Protect Old Town weekends with 2-night minimums and group pricing, and keep them separate from quieter residential homes.
Set a summer floor based on real costs, including higher power bills for pools and air conditioning, and pair it with weekly discounts.
Start event pricing about 90 days before Spring Training and the Phoenix Open instead of reacting in the final weeks.
No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |
Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

Busiest in Scottsdale: January to April, with Spring Training, the Waste Management Phoenix Open and Barrett-Jackson driving the highest rates. January to March: Barrett-Jackson at WestWorld, the WM Phoenix Open, the Arabian Horse Show and Cactus League games stack up, so I price each event week individually and protect weekends for groups. April: Spring Training ends, but golf and pool weather stay strong; I keep weekend rates near peak and begin offering midweek specials for late-season visitors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. How the pool is heated, shaded and described, since winter guests expect heated pools and summer guests want shade and cooling, and both affect pricing.
Protect Old Town weekends with 2-night minimums and group pricing, and keep them separate from quieter residential homes. Next: start event pricing about 90 days before Spring Training and the Phoenix Open instead of reacting in the final weeks. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Scottsdale property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Scottsdale: June to September when daytime temperatures exceed 40°C (105°F). May: Heat returns, snowbirds leave and I shorten minimums, offering weekly stays and promoting pools and shade to Arizona and California drive-in guests. June to September: Extreme heat brings local staycations and resort-style weekends; I price weekends for Phoenix residents and keep weekday floors that cover cooling and pool costs.
Summer prices dropped below running costs because the calendar looks empty and treating Scottsdale and wider Phoenix homes as one market when their demand and guests differ. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Scottsdale, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Scottsdale, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Scottsdale sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. April: Spring Training ends, but golf and pool weather stay strong; I keep weekend rates near peak and begin offering midweek specials for late-season visitors.
Old Town Scottsdale: Nightlife, restaurants and Scottsdale Stadium; I price for groups and Spring Training fans, with strong weekend premiums in winter and spring. North Scottsdale and DC Ranch and Arcadia and Tempe get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Golf and pool-home demand, MLB Spring Training in February and March and WM Phoenix Open in early February are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Scottsdale. October to December: Cooler weather returns, NASCAR at Phoenix Raceway brings a November spike and holidays lift late December, so I raise weekend rates and open monthly snowbird stays from January.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, you get one experienced person who knows your numbers, with a small team and a tool stack behind me, and no account-manager layer in between. I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Scottsdale and work remotely in Mountain Standard Time (UTC-7). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: offer monthly snowbird rates from November onwards, but only for dates that are unlikely to sell as higher-value short stays.
Hotel revenue management plans are priced monthly by hotel size, with Core from $650 a month, Plus adding channel and segment optimization and Pro adding forecasting and a monthly strategy call. They run month to month and are never a percentage of revenue. The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Scottsdale I would start from January to March: Barrett-Jackson at WestWorld, the WM Phoenix Open, the Arabian Horse Show and Cactus League games stack up, so I price each event week individually and protect weekends for groups.
