About the Role
We’re looking for a driven, relationship-focused Sales Manager who loves the hunt just as much as the win. This is a great opportunity for a stable, proven hotel sales leader who brings energy, ownership, and tenacity to everything they do—and isn’t afraid to prospect, mine new opportunities, and pick up the phone to make cold calls that turn into long-term partnerships.
In this role, you’ll generate and manage group business from corporate clients through strategic business development, thoughtful relationship building, and customized proposals. You’ll work closely with internal teams to ensure flawless execution of group events while driving revenue and exceeding goals. This position reports directly to the Director of Sales.

Variety of insurance options (medical, dental, vision)

What You’ll Be Doing
- Prospecting, mining, and cold calling to uncover new business and grow your market presence
- Building strong relationships with local and national corporate clients, third-party partners, and community organizations
- Selling with confidence and credibility, with the ability to bring existing client relationships with you
- Managing incoming RFPs, inquiries, proposals, and contracts from start to finish
- Communicating client expectations clearly to internal teams to ensure seamless execution
- Taking true ownership of your market, your accounts, and your results
- Leveraging seasonality, compression, and local market dynamics to drive smart sales strategies

To be a successful candidate, you will need the following:
- Strong full-service hotel sales experience
- Solid understanding of:
- Group, corporate, SMERF, and transient business mix
- Seasonality and compression strategies
- Local market dynamics
- Proven business development and BT experience
- Demonstrated ability to sell, prospect, and close—cold calls included
- A reputation for stability, consistency, and follow-through as a sales leader
- Tenacity—you don’t give up when things get tough
- You will report directly to the Director of Sales, working closely with them to meet revenue goals and support the overall sales strategy.
A career in hotel sales gives you a front-row seat to how the entire business works. This role is a strong next step for someone who wants to grow—into larger markets, managing different markets, becoming a Director of Sales, or even national or third-party sales opportunities.
If you enjoy building relationships, chasing opportunity, and turning cold calls into warm partnerships, we’d love to meet you.
