In the past it is common for Hotel Sales Manager to get Holiday Bonuses. With this economy if you get one this year be thankful.
It is more important that you have a job and put food on the table. So don’t be upset or bash your hotel management if you do not get a bonus this year. Times are tough all around.
This is the time that you as a Hotel Sales Manager try to close on any pending business by years end. The more that you have on the books the better you look. Most of your budget and goals are done for next year so you know what you are facing. And, as like most all hotel companies – independent or corporate – they will expect an increase in revenues from you. Be prepared and work hard.
Remember, you are replaceable and there are a lot of people who are in need of jobs…..with more to come with layoffs in 2009. Let’s hope that our new President can turn this economy around.
Good luck!
