As Group Sales Manager, you’ll be responsible for driving group bookings and maximizing revenue for both hotels. This role requires a results-driven individual with strong networking abilities, a passion for relationship-building, and a strategic mindset.

1. Account Management: Identify, acquire, and manage key group accounts, building strong relationships and ensuring high levels of repeat business.
2. Sales Strategy: Develop and implement tailored sales strategies that align with the unique brand offerings of both hotels and capitalize on opportunities in corporate, leisure, and event sectors.
3. Revenue Optimization: Work closely with the Revenue Management team to optimize group booking rates, room block allocations, and packages, ensuring maximum profitability.
4. Networking & Partnerships: Actively represent the hotels at industry events, trade shows, and local networking opportunities to drive brand awareness and secure new business.
5. Team Collaboration: Coordinate with hotel operations, events, and marketing teams to ensure smooth planning and execution of group events, from booking to on-site service.
6. Reporting: Track and report on sales activity, revenue generation, and market trends, providing insights to guide future sales strategies.
