We love what we do and what we do is important! We believe that everyone should leave feeling better – this means not just our guests, but also our teammates. Everyone should go home feeling better because they learned something new or had fun working that day. Therefore, we hire unique individuals who work together to create amazing experiences for our guests. We recognize that every member of the team contributes to the success of the whole hotel. No one is more important than anyone else, and unless we are in it together, we can’t create that special experience for our guest.

The Nitty-Gritty :

What exactly you will be doing…

In helping you understand your role in working for a world-class organization, the following is a list of your essential job responsibilities. Please keep in mind that this list is not all inclusive and that you may be asked to perform other job tasks by your manager not listed below in the constant quest to provide an “out of this world” customer service experience for our guests :

• Through the usual functions (sales presentations, prospecting, sales calls, site inspections, client entertainment, and business travel), the Sales Manager is responsible for developing business and meeting revenue goals. Our candidate smells new opportunities and responds authentically and in a professional manner.
• The Group Sales Manager is cool under pressure and specializes in problem-solving. As a titan of the industry, they are involved in networking organizations and a proud representative of Virgin Hotels. Through their untouched relationships, they have their finger on the pulse with supply, demand, and market fluctuations.
• Constantly evolving quarterly action plans will be prepared, and accounts will be targeted. The Group Sales Manager will follow the sales & catering guidelines to book the highest quality business. Reports will be cultivated, and we have some rules and standards to live by (but we promise not to make it too painful). Timely responses to clients and proactive communication within the hotel are musts, and using “us,” “we,” and “our” are the keys to success.
• We live to learn. The Group Sales Manager is open to developing their professional selling skills through Virgin Hotels organized training programs and weekly refreshers.
• The Group Sales Manager’s main role is bringing in the business, so customer relations must be on top. We believe live is better than scripted and are looking for those who love hotel sales. To be considered, you must be a self-motivated rock star who is organized and thinks a little differently. We like to call it a Rainmaker.
