Job Description
Are you a highly motivated and results-oriented sales professional with a passion for hospitality? Career.zycto is actively seeking an experienced Hotel Sales Executive to join our client’s dynamic team in Eket, Uyo. This is a pivotal role for an individual who thrives on building strong client relationships, identifying new business opportunities, and exceeding sales targets within the vibrant hotel industry. You will be instrumental in driving revenue growth for a reputable hotel, promoting its diverse offerings, and ensuring its continued success in a competitive market.
As a Hotel Sales Executive, you will be the face of the hotel, engaging with corporate clients, event planners, tour operators, and individual guests to secure bookings for accommodation, conferences, events, and other services. Your strategic approach to market penetration, combined with excellent negotiation skills, will be key to expanding our client’s market share. You’ll be responsible for understanding client needs, crafting compelling proposals, and closing deals that contribute significantly to the hotel’s bottom line. This role requires a proactive approach to sales, an ability to work independently and as part of a team, and a deep understanding of the local market dynamics in Eket and Uyo.
We are looking for someone who is not just a salesperson, but a true brand ambassador – someone who can articulate the unique value proposition of the hotel and create memorable experiences even before guests arrive. You will regularly conduct market research, analyze competitor activities, and provide valuable insights to the management team to fine-tune sales strategies. This is an exciting opportunity for a professional seeking to make a tangible impact and grow their career within a supportive and forward-thinking hospitality environment. If you are passionate about sales, love the buzz of the hotel industry, and are eager to achieve ambitious goals, we encourage you to apply.
