As a seasoned sales professional with a proven track record in the hospitality industry, I specialize in driving revenue growth, enhancing guest experiences, and optimizing sales strategies. Currently serving in task force sales roles across multiple USA locations, I have a deep understanding of sales management, client relationship cultivation, and revenue optimization. My recent achievements include setting a new ADR standard with a $13 year-over-year increase at Hilton Garden Inn SLC Airport and leading a 50% growth in catering revenue through targeted marketing efforts. My experience spans diverse roles, from Director of Sales and Marketing to Catering Sales Manager, where I have developed and implemented strategic sales plans, managed a portfolio of 200+ accounts, and achieved exceptional revenue results. I have a strong background in both group and catering sales, with a focus on driving key performance indicators such as Average Daily Rate (ADR), Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR), and Customer Satisfaction Scores (CSAT). Let’s connect if you’re looking for someone who can elevate your sales strategy, boost occupancy rates, and enhance overall profitability. My goal is to help your property reach its full potential through innovative sales techniques and client-centered approaches.
