  • Developing an excellent knowledge of our hotels, wedding packages, event offers and promotions, along with local market trends, to help maximise conversions
  • Building strong relationships with couples, clients, hotel teams and, where required, external suppliers to ensure a seamless customer experience
  • Managing every stage of the booking journey accurately, from initial enquiry through to confirmation, before handing over to the hotel teams who will deliver the event
  • Working collaboratively with colleagues to contribute towards team goals, maintain high service standards and celebrate success together

Requirements

  • A passion for weddings, hospitality or events
  • A positive, enthusiastic attitude and the drive to convert enquiries into confirmed bookings
  • Proven sales experience, with confidence handling enquiries and closing business over the telephone and via email
  • The ability to understand each customer's unique requirements and create tailored solutions that exceed expectations
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise a busy workload and meet deadlines
