• Negotiate, close deals, and craft killer sales presentations that make our hotel the place to stay.
• Be the face of the hotel at trade shows, conventions, and networking events – spreading the word and sealing the deal.

Leadership & Team Building (Be the Captain of the Squad)

• Foster a culture of innovation – we want fresh ideas, new strategies, and out-of-the-box thinking!

Guest & Client Experience (The VIP Treatment)

• Build strong relationships with clients and ensure they have a seamless, top-notch experience from inquiry to check-out.
• Handle guest concerns like a pro – problem-solving with speed, professionalism, and a smile.
• Ensure our hotel meets (and exceeds!) brand standards, keeping guest satisfaction levels sky-high.
• Stay on top of market trends and competition – knowledge is power, and we want to stay ahead of the game.

Numbers & Performance (The Scoreboard)

• Meet and exceed monthly, quarterly, and annual sales goals – because winning feels good!
• Keep track of key performance metrics like revenue, RevPAR, and guest satisfaction scores.
• Continuously analyze sales data to identify trends, opportunities, and areas for growth.
• Ensure compliance with brand standards and quality assessments – we’re all about excellence!

What We’re Looking For (aka The Ideal Candidate)

• A go-getter with a track record of success in direct hotel sales (or a related industry).
• A natural leader with strong communication skills and the ability to inspire a team.
• A strategic thinker who thrives on meeting (and beating!) revenue targets.
• A flexible, adaptable, and energetic personality – no two days are the same in this role!
• Someone who loves networking, negotiating, and making big things happen.
• Physical mobility (yes, this job may require some walking, stair-climbing, and occasional heavy lifting).
• If you have experience with Delphi and Hilton systems that’s a real plus!

Why Join Us?
