As our Meeting & Event Sales Coordinator, you will know and understand what it means to deliver amazing hospitality and will thrive on the challenge of always exceeding guests’ expectations. Your focus will be primarily on our Meetings, Events and Groups business, dealing with a wide variety of clients from handling enquiries, finalising details of their events through to billing and accurate record keeping. In some of our hotels, we have launched V Works, our co‑working business centre. Can you sell the dream of a collaborative working space? You will wow our customers with fantastic service and grow our customer base by identifying new leads and converting enquiries to members. With a great personality and a passion for sales, you will always offer great options for guests whilst ensuring profitability for the hotel.
You should be highly attentive, capable of delivering consistent standards, and have a can‑do attitude. In this industry teamwork is key; you should be a strong team player willing to lend a hand wherever needed. You should be imaginative, identify new business and be aware of local developments and competitors. A good eye for detail, ensuring contracts and quotes are issued correctly, is essential. You must be able to understand guests’ needs, conduct show‑arounds and promote all the services we have to offer. Demonstrate strong commercial acumen ensuring that staffing levels are appropriate to drive conversion.
