Local market dynamics: most organisations have a process and a procedure to deal with rate loading however one of the mistakes that candidates often make is not explaining how they keep ahead of local market activities, most large organizations will have an idea of large city events, however they can often come undone by perhaps not being up to date with a local stadium concert which is being played by a grade one celebrity or an announcement that something is going to be launched in the city.

Web technology: we all have it, we are all aware of different systems however we often make the mistake by not fully shouting what we actually as individuals do with it regarding to local emails, targeted campaigns and special offers for example 2 for 1 deals, more often than not we avoid talking about technology as we make the mistake in pre-empting that it might be a system that we do not know. In reality all systems will have a common theme so make sure you shout about all the things you do.
