across all four properties.
- Lead Generation: Build and maintain a robust pipeline of potential clients across
West Des Moines, La Vista, Roseville, and Westerville.

all private events you book.

Roseville, and Westerville, or other properties during periods of high demand.
- Venue Knowledge: Understand the unique features of each location to confidently
sell across multiple markets.
SOP Implementation & Continuous Improvement
- Act as a sales enabler, not just a documenter – actively refine systems, tools, and
processes to help the sales team close faster, more effectively, and with greater
consistency across all locations.
- Monitor Impact – track how SOPs and sales tools influence key performance
indicators such as conversion rate, sales cycle time, and revenue per lead.
- Feedback Loop – gather and incorporate feedback from team members and
clients to continuously evolve documentation, improve training materials, and
align processes with real-world needs.
This is a unique opportunity for a sales-driven leader who thrives both in the field
closing business and behind the scenes optimizing how great sales teams operate.

exceeding revenue targets in event, hospitality, or entertainment industries.
