What you will be doing

Conduct a successful, aggressive solicitation process involving outside sales calls, inside appointments, telephone calls, individual letter and direct mail. As a proactive sales manager, 80% (eighty) of time should be spent in active sales solicitation. Assist the Director of Sales in the preparation of the annual marketing plan, including the action plans covering assigned market segments. Send proposals on all leads which fit the profile of the property and actively follow through to convert from proposal to definite status.  Obtain, document and route all necessary information on definite groups, including billing information, credit application, rooming list and VIP arrangements. Details on meeting arrangements, menus, audio-visual arrangements, etc., should be documented and passed on to catering manager for follow up.
