Christy really puts in the work and genuinely wants to learn EVERYTHING and do a great job. She has that skill for cold calling and emails that is such a gift and when added to her hard work and positive, sunny attitude she is a force to be reckoned with. I would recommend Christy for any outbound sales position or even a customer facing role as she is able to bond with people easy and create trust. She does not pull punches, is brave and wholehearted, and just generally a delightful person to work with.

Christy is detailed, always willing to help you be successful and assist in receiving acceptance in travel programs. I learned from her how to make a great "Compelling Business Case". We became instant work companions after our first telephone call on why my hotel would be a great fit for a customer.
