Description

It’s Money-Making May—and today’s guest proves that revenue management doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

We’re joined by Wendy Doris, founder of Mostess and a powerhouse co-host based in Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona. Wendy manages a portfolio of 17 highly curated homes and has become a sought-after voice in the STR world for her detailed, data-driven approach to pricing and guest experience.

In this episode, Wendy walks us through her journey from “weekend pricing guesswork” to full-on revenue strategy. Whether you’re hosting one property or scaling your co-hosting business, Wendy’s lessons will inspire you to finally take control of your pricing—with confidence.

What we cover:

• Wendy’s transition from flipping homes to thriving as a design-forward co-host
• Why she ditched Airbnb smart pricing and what she uses instead
• How she uncovered thousands in lost revenue with one mindset shift
• The difference between pricing software and pricing strategy
• How calendar rules, booking windows, and stay minimums are part of revenue management
• Why weekly check-ins on your numbers are essential
• Wendy’s go-to reports inside PriceLabs and how she uses them to hit owner goals
• The surprising benefits of weekday promos and one-night stays
• How co-hosts can use pricing expertise to win and retain clients

This episode is a masterclass in practical pricing—without the overwhelm.
