As Sales Manager, I was responsible for acquiring and contracting business in the education, faith-based, and fraternal market segments. I focused on discovering new business and building long-term relationships across my areas of expertise in order to diversify my hotel's group business. This strategy allowed us to remain successful for both the immediate and distant future. By diversifying these markets and a deep understanding of my market segments, I was able to help our team overcome the widespread economic downturns within the state of Oklahoma and protect the hotel from future downturns. During my team overseeing the University market segment, I increased total revenue from that segment by 140% in two years.
