Job Description:
We are hiring a business-to-business sales team. Familiarity with the hospitality industry is more important than prior sales experience. The expo sales team sells high-dollar exhibit space and sponsorships for our national trade expo and conference in hospitality. Exhibitors are suppliers to the hospitality industry across 80 product and service categories. Our style of sales includes full support and friendly, low-pressure conversations with business professionals.
The Event Sales Account Manager builds and maintains relationships with exhibitors. This position is responsible for following up and responding to exhibitor communication with the ultimate goal of driving revenue, increasing sales, and improving retention. You receive warm leads, so you engage with people who are a good match, and who are already purchasing in this area. This is a contract position that allows for a flexible work schedule and telecommuter benefit. High performing candidates are eligible for full salaried positions with corporate benefits. Our compensation package allows team members to generate a high level of income based on their work ethic and initiative.
