About You
We are looking for a Proactive hotel Sales Manager with a proven track record of personally generating new business.

The Opportunity
This role will involve spending significant time out in the market, meeting prospective and existing clients and actively identifying opportunities to grow the hotel's corporate business.
It is particularly suited to someone who enjoys opening doors, making connections and converting opportunities into revenue, rather than a predominantly reactive sales role focused on handling incoming enquiries or maintaining established accounts.
