Sales Director

Alright, let's talk about this one. We're looking for a Sales Director to run the show across a three hotel complex in Dallas, TX. It's not just about filling rooms; it's about building a strategy that makes all three properties work together. You'd be the one setting the direction for the entire sales operation.

What you'll do

You're in charge of the whole sales playbook for these three hotels. That means creating the strategy, putting it into action, and making sure it actually works to hit ownership and brand targets.

• Lead and develop the on site sales teams for each property. You'll handle hiring, training, and guiding their performance.
• The goal is driving revenue from every angle: group bookings, corporate accounts, transient guests, and leisure travel.
• A big part of your week will be building and keeping up relationships. We're talking key accounts, corporate clients, travel managers, meeting planners; the whole network.
• You'll work hand in hand with Revenue Management. Your collaboration on pricing, forecasts, and demand strategies is crucial.
• Running regular sales meetings and pipeline reviews to keep everything on track is part of the rhythm.
• Putting together the annual sales budgets and goals for each hotel falls to you.
• Get ready to represent us out there. Trade shows, networking events, industry functions; you're our face in the market.
• Making sure the team uses our CRM systems correctly and follows all brand reporting standards is on your list.
• And you've got to keep an eye on what's happening. Market trends, what competitors are doing, broader economic stuff; you'll use that intel to tweak our plans proactively.

What you need to bring

We need someone who's done this before at a high level. This isn't an entry level leadership spot.

• A solid 5 to 7 years leading hotel sales teams is required. Experience in a multi property or complex setting is a major plus.
• You have to show us you can grow revenue consistently and hit sales targets. Bring examples of your track record.
• Strong leadership isn't optional here. We need someone who can genuinely coach people and develop a team.
• Your communication skills have to be top notch; negotiating deals and presenting strategies are daily tasks.
• You should be comfortable with CRM platforms, revenue management tools, and digging into sales analytics.
• The role involves moving between the three properties as needed. Reliable transportation is a must have for getting around Dallas, TX.
