Hotel Sales Manager
Comfort Suites Greenville Airport • 1371 Garlington Road, Greenville, SC, US
Posted 14 days ago
We're looking for a hands-on, hunter-minded Sales Manager to grow room revenue at Comfort Suites Greenville Airport. This is a field-sales role, not a desk job. You'll spend a real share of your week in front of local businesses, manufacturers, training programs, and group decision-makers across the Upstate, building a base of negotiated and repeat business.
You'll own the property's direct sales pipeline, from prospecting through contracting and rooming lists, and you'll work closely with the GM and ownership on rate strategy and competitive positioning.
What you get
Base salary of $45,000 to $55,000 plus quarterly bonus
Monday through Friday schedule, generally, with occasional evening or weekend events
Hilton and Choice Hotels travel discounts
Direct access to ownership, so decisions get made fast
Room to grow as our Upstate cluster and Southeast portfolio expand
Prospect and close new corporate, negotiated-rate, training-class, and group accounts across the Greenville-Spartanburg corridor, with a focus on manufacturing, aerospace, healthcare, and engineering employers.
Spend a real share of every week in the field: outside sales calls, site tours, chamber events, and local networking.
Grow and protect existing key accounts through regular check-ins, business reviews, and renewals, and lead the annual corporate RFP season.
Source and contract group business (sports teams, weddings, corporate training, crews, project teams) and manage it through arrival: contracts, cut-off dates, rooming lists, and direct-bill setup with the GM and front desk.
Join the GM in a weekly revenue meeting to review pace, STR results, competitor activity, and local demand drivers, then go after need periods, especially weekends and shoulder nights.
Put Choice Hotels sales programs and tools to work, and keep sales collateral and the property's brand page current.
Keep your pipeline and activity logged, and send a weekly sales report to the GM and Director of Operations: calls, new accounts, contracts signed, room nights and revenue booked, plus monthly account production.
2+ years of outside B2B sales with a record of prospecting and closing new accounts, not just working inbound leads. Hotel sales experience strongly preferred.
Comfortable negotiating rates and contracts and weighing volume against rate.
Self-directed and organized. You'll run your own calendar and pipeline.
Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for local sales calls.
Available for occasional evening or weekend events.
Nice to have: select-service hotel experience (Choice, Hilton, Marriott, IHG), familiarity with STR reports and a hotel PMS (Choice Advantage), and relationships in the Upstate business community. We'll train the right seller on the hotel side.
Compensation
$45,000 - $55,000 base + quarterly bonus
Comfort Suites Greenville Airport is owned and operated by SNS Investment Group, a family-owned hospitality and real estate company with more than 25 years in the industry. We're building an Upstate cluster, with downtown Greenville and Duncan alongside our Greenville Airport hotel, and a growing footprint across the Southeast.
We're not a large management company where you're a number. Ownership is hands-on and accessible, and we look for people who take initiative and don't wait to be told what's next. There's room for the right person to grow with us.
