• Manage the full RFP lifecycle using MarRFP, ensuring timely, accurate responses to group and transient RFPs and strong close ratios on qualified leads.
• Utilize CI/TY (Marriott's sales and catering/event management platform) to manage bookings, lead distribution, contracts, and event details in line with brand standards.
• Leverage One Yield and Marriott's revenue management tools to align sales strategy with pricing and forecasting, and partner with revenue management on rate strategy and demand calendars.
• Pull and analyze performance data through MRDW/MI (Marriott's reporting and business intelligence tools) and STR reports to track production, identify trends, and inform strategic decisions.
• Use Marriott Global Source (MGS) to stay current on brand initiatives, training requirements, and sales program updates, and ensure the team is fully certified on required Marriott sales platforms.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with existing accounts while proactively generating new business through outside sales calls, site visits, and B2B networking.
• Oversee marketing efforts across digital, social, and traditional channels to build brand visibility and drive new business, in coordination with Marriott's brand marketing guidelines.
• Track leads, manage accounts, and report on pipeline and production using Salesforce or comparable CRM tools, alongside Marriott's proprietary sales systems.
• Negotiate contracts and close deals with key accounts, ensuring terms align with both hotel revenue goals and Marriott brand standards.
• Partner with ownership and executive leadership on long-term business development planning, adjusting strategy based on market conditions, competitive set performance, and brand direction.

Qualifications & Skills

• Proven experience in hotel sales, with a strong preference for candidates with prior Marriott or Marriott-brand experience.
• Hands-on proficiency with Marriott sales systems, including MarRFP, CI/TY (or prior Delphi.fdc experience), One Yield, MARSHA, MRDW/MI, and Marriott Global Source (MGS); familiarity with Cvent and other third-party RFP/proposal platforms is a plus.
• Strong leadership and team management skills, with the ability to coach, motivate, and hold a sales team accountable in a fast-paced environment.
• Skilled in CRM and sales management platforms (e.g., Salesforce) for pipeline tracking, account management, and reporting.
• Demonstrated success in outside sales, B2B sales, and corporate/group account development within hospitality.
