I’d like to rant a little bit about setting expectations with others. It is vitally important in any business, and I’ve seen a lot of heartache that could’ve been avoided had the expectation been set properly upfront.

Amy Infante founded Plan B Consultants, Inc. in May 2006 after recognizing a void in the hotel and resort industry for customized, hands-on sales and marketing task force management.
Plan B’s clients benefit from Amy’s in-depth sales, marketing, and revenue management industry experience through partnerships with major hotel brands including InterContinental Hotels, Hilton, Hyatt, Holiday Inn, Hotel Indigo, Marriott, Radisson, Crowne Plaza and Omni – as well as independent and boutique hotels.
With her vast array of hotel brand and market exposure, Amy evolves easily and is able to adapt to any business climate while providing creative solutions for achieving marketing and revenue goals in difficult times. For example, she delivered more than 100 percent of budgeted group sales revenue to a brand-new luxury hotel in San Francisco during one of the city’s slowest economies in the post-9/11 and dotcom bust, and she has been providing this same caliber of return on investment to her clients ever since. With this tenacity and discipline, Amy consistently exceeds expectations for her clients during phases of brand transition, pre-opening, renovation, and rebirth.
A testament to her exceptional work in the industry, Amy is repeatedly sought after by past employers and industry colleagues to provide expertise and direct revenue generation during their own times of transition, change, and challenge. Amy is graduate of the University of Nebraska with a Bachelor of Journalism in Advertising along with a minor in Marketing. She earned a Six Sigma Green Belt certification through Villanova University and Certificate of Revenue Management through Cornell University. Amy was Director of Corporate Travel for 5 IHG-managed hotels in the San Francisco market previous to starting Plan B Consultants.
