  • Convert leads into bookings: Respond to and convert incoming group and event enquiries to meet sales targets and maximize revenue
  • Drive upselling and conversion: Identify opportunities to upsell services and increase conversion rates through consistent, high-quality sales tactics
  • Optimize event scheduling: Manage the events calendar to support optimal yield and space utilization
  • Build strong client relationships: Engage with customers to understand their needs, foster loyalty, and generate repeat and expanded business
  • Lead impactful site visits: Arrange and conduct hotel show rounds to showcase spaces and services in alignment with client expectations
  • Support seamless event execution: Ensure accurate administration and smooth handover of booked events for successful on-property delivery
  • Support hotel promotions: Participate in promotional activities to increase visibility and drive GCE business
  • Some travel is required: Occasional travel to other properties within the East Midlands Cluster to assist and provide support as needed.
