What are the responsibilities and job description for the Hotel Sales Manager position at My Place Hotel - Jacksonville/Camp Lejeune, NC?
Job Title: Hotel Sales Manager
The Opportunity
Are you a seasoned Hotel Sales Manager looking for a fresh challenge, or an experienced Sales Coordinator or Front Desk Agent ready to take the next big step in your hospitality career? At My Place Hotel, we aren’t just looking for a resume; we’re looking for a "people person" who understands how a hotel runs and wants to be the one bringing in the business. Whether you’ve been closing deals for years or you’re the Front Desk rockstar everyone turns to, we want to talk to you.
Master the Art of Hotel Sales
In this role, you won’t just be "doing a job"—you’ll be learning the business from the inside out. We are committed to teaching you every aspect of this important role, including:
- Market Strategy: Learn how to read the "pulse" of the local area and predict when travelers are coming to town.
- Negotiation Skills: Master the art of the deal by learning how to set rates that make sense for the guest and the hotel.
- Account Management: Discover how to turn a one-time guest into a lifelong corporate partner.
Make a Real Impact
As a Sales Manager, you are the bridge between the hotel and the world outside. You have the power to:
- Drive Success: Every room you sell directly impacts the success of the entire team, from housekeeping to the front desk. You’ll see your hard work reflected in the hotel’s "scoreboard" every day.
- Be a Community Leader: You’ll be our ambassador. Whether you’re joining the local Chamber of Commerce, supporting community events, or helping a local business house their traveling workers, you’ll be making our neighborhood a better place to do business.
What You’ll Actually Do Every Day
- Find New Guests: Reach out to local companies to include hospitals, and construction projects and to see who needs a place to stay.
- Show and Tell: Give tours of our property, showing potential clients why our "home-away-from-home" setup (especially for long-term stays) is their best choice.
- Seal the Deal: Talk through pricing, create simple contracts, and make sure the guest feels taken care of from the first phone call to the final checkout.
Why You’re a Great Fit
- Hotel Experience is a Must: You’ve spent at least 1 year in a hotel. You know how the building runs and what makes a guest stay happy.
- Extended Stay Savvy (A Plus!): You understand the unique needs of guests staying for a week or a month—like needing a kitchen or a sense of routine.
- You’re Driven: You’re tired of the "same old, same old" and want a role where you can finally see the big picture and grow into a future Director or General Manager.
The Perks
- Employee Healthcare, Dental, Vision & Life Insurance: 100% paid by the company.
- Rewarding Pay: A steady base salary plus the opportunity to earn bonuses when you hit your goals.
- Vacation and Sick Time
- Growth: We provide the mentorship; you provide the hustle.
