Today's guest has more than 14 years of experience in the lodging industry. She also has a passion for people and pineapples. Davonne Reaves is Founder/Hospitality Strategist at The Vonne Group. She is also the author of How To Buy A Hotel - Roadmap to Hotel Ownership. Davonne joins host Dan Ryan to talk about her journey in hospitality and what it all means to her.  Takeaways:  Owning a hotel requires a lot of work, you have to keep up with the land and raise capital and hire staff among many other things.  When starting your own business, you want to start small and work your way up to becoming a bigger company.  When looking at buying a hotel, you want to know the surrounding community and have them feel comfortable with you. People are what make the hospitality industry so special and unique, most people will stay at a hotel for the human connection and interaction. You need to know your purpose, if you don't have a clear purpose for your business that it will not last. Knowing how to invest the right money into the right places for buying a hotel can help you to financially be all set.  There will always be people who don't believe in your dream or help you along the way, so it's important to have thick skin and move past it.  Quote of the Show:   18:52 “You could automate the hospitality industry as much as you possibly can, it's the people, it's even some people who would prefer to stay in a hotel over an Airbnb, just because of the human connection and that human interaction.” Links:   Twitter: https://twitter.com/thevonnegroup LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davonnereaves/ Website: https://thevonnegroup.com Book Link: https://www.amazon.com/TIDBITS-EMERGING-PINEAPPLE-PROFESSIONAL-DEQUAN/dp/1791966365   Shout Outs:   3:50 ACS 4:05 Hyatt 4:42 Jessica Meyers 31:30 Shannon Steel 31:45 Dr. Mina James 31:58 Andre Arbrieten 57:35 Skift 57:39 Highgate 57:41 JLL 58:43 Swiss Hotel Ways to Tune In:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPX Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1s Amazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419 Podbean: https://www.defininghospitality.live/ Youtube : https://youtu.be/ZLMSqY07U2Q

The annual employee turnover rate in the U.S. hospitality industry is 70 percent. When compared with 10 to 25 percent at other industries, the rate at which people leave hospitality jobs is at a “disastrous level,” said one of the experts we interviewed about recruiting and retaining employees. In this episode of Lodging Leaders, we report exclusive data on retention and turnover rates. Guests also offer practical solutions to the problem, including better managing labor costs to be able to give employees a pay raise. Overall, the experts agree that creating awareness about the opportunities to build a meaningful career should be the central strategy to recruiting and retaining employees. We feature Ron Mitchell CEO of Virgil Holdings, which owns Hcareers, a recruitment website; Del Ross, chief revenue officer at Hotel Effectiveness, which helps hotels manage labor costs; Davonne Reaves, CEO of The Vonne Group, a hospitality consulting firm; and Sarah Smart, vice president of global recruitment at Hilton Worldwide.
