I had the pleasure of hiring Jody as a Sales Manager with little more than events and group management experience. In the short time of 6 months, Jody grew our SMERF business from a consistent downward trend to significant YOY growth making it our #1 performing segment in 2012. After mastering her primary role Jody repeatedly stepped up to assist in other areas of sales, learning the special events and corporate group sales segments quickly and making significant gains in these segments quickly. Jody was my "go to" relationship builder for difficult accounts and clients. With a unique ability to open any door, Jody is a phenomenal sales manager and a great addition to any team.
