Getting aquainted with the New Hotel Sales Manager
The First Day for a New Sales Manager. I’m sure that they are nervous, anxious and excited. They maybe welcomed to the team or they maybe shunned away.
It is recommended that a schedule is put together for the New Hotel Sales Person to meet will all of the Department Heads, including motivating staff and the General Manager. Each existing Sales Person should give them a personal full hotel tour so that they get as comfortable with the hotel’s features as soon as possible. This could be a good time to bring along a Front Desk Agent who has not seen the hotel in full yet.
Each existing Sales Person should spend some time with them reviewing their position and goals of the hotel. If this new hire was part of your market, they will be able to provide leads to the existing Sales Person.
An existing Sales Person should welcome a New Sales Manager. They should provide all that they need, answer their questions and help them along to succeed. There are many personality’s and strategies in Sales. It is common for Sales People to be jealous, annoyed or simply rude to a New Sales Person. The person acting in this manner are insecure and considers this person to be a threat or I should say “to steal their thunder”.
Others may welcome the New Team Mate and assist in every way that they can. They invite them to lunch with them, chat and begin to learn from each other. This type of office bonding is healthy. It is important to be aware it is proven that Offices that work in this type of atmosphere proves to be more productive and generates more revenue then for Offices that separate themselves from each other.
So Welcome your New Hotel Sales Manager!
Good luck!
