• Collaborate with internal teams (such as hospitality sales, sales enablement, and content) to help address and facilitate client requests.
• Implement up-sell or cross-sell options as outlined by the company, working to set targets.
• Monitor client satisfaction and promptly address any issues to maintain high levels of retention.
• Stay informed about industry trends, competitor activities, and market developments to support you and the broader Hospitality Account Management team in your efforts
• Utilize relevant sales tools, including CRM, to ensure accurate data, pipelines, and renewal and financial information.
• Perform any other duties and responsibilities consistent with the position, as determined by the Direct Manager.

You are a great fit if you have:

• At least 2–3 years of experience in B2B sales or business development
• Experience in the hotel industry
• Proficiency with CRM systems and other sales tools
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills
• Flexibility to work across different time zones
• Strong organizational skills with a results-driven mindset
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities
• A proactive and creative approach to challenges
• The capability to excel both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
