Job description

About Whim Hospitality

At Whim Hospitality, we don’t just rent tables and tents—we build the stages where life’s brightest moments unfold. From fairy-tale weddings under twinkling chandeliers to corporate galas that spark innovation, our inventory isn’t just “stuff.” It’s the secret ingredient to memories that outlast the final dance.

Your Role: Architect of “Yes, Let’s!” Moments

As our Inside Sales Specialist, you’re not just answering calls—you’re the first voice of possibility for clients dreaming up their next big moment. Your mission? Turn “What if…” into “This is perfect!” by matching their vision with our curated collection of event magic.

Think of yourself as a matchmaker between imagination and execution—where linen swatches and tent layouts become love stories.

What You’ll Create

• Spark-to-flame conversations: Transform vague inquiries (“I need chairs”) into tailored solutions (“Let’s pair those gold Chiavaris with a vintage lounge for cocktail hour”).
• Curated confidence: Be the guru of our inventory, knowing which farm tables make a rustic wedding pop or which canopy turns a backyard into a Gatsby soirée.
• Seamless storytelling: Craft proposals that feel like love letters to clients’ visions, complete with mood boards-by-proxy and “just imagine” phrasing.
• Behind-the-scenes glue: Sync with operations to ensure the 200-guest wedding you sold gets the royal treatment—right down to the last champagne flute.

Who You Are

• A dialogue dynamo with 1-2 years in sales, hospitality, or events (bonus points if you’ve talked someone into sequined table runners).
• Equal parts empath and strategist—you hear “I want something romantic” and see candlelit long tables, blush linens, and a floral arch.
• CRM whisperer: You juggle Salesforce entries like a pro, but your real joy is watching a tentative lead bloom into a booked event.
• A solutions DJ: Mix cross-sells (upside: “Add a neon sign with your hashtag!”) with genuine care, reading clients like a well-loved playbook.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Compensation: Competitive salary + bonuses when your bookings become clients’ “best day ever.”
• Perks with Purpose:
  • Fuel Your Growth: Mentorship from event wizards who’ve built castles out of tents.
  • Play & Stay: Discounts at our properties—imagine brainstorming sessions by a resort pool.
  • Care for You: Medical/dental/vision, PTO, and holidays to recharge your creative batteries.
  • Celebrate Often: Family meals where taco Tuesdays spark tomorrow’s rental hacks.
