You should hate cold calls especially to those lists that begin with A or those Business Journal lists of every industry in the local market!  How much time do you and your staff spend on them -- what is the ROI on that sales time in terms of leads generated and closed?

The good news is that cold calls are pretty much dead and no one misses them much! There is a new way of doing hospitality sales.  This web cast will outline the business plan for enabling the new paradigm of sales – this series of web casts will take you step by step through the process.

“Hospitality sales managers struggle with figuring how to find and close profitable new business and to differentiate themselves from their competitors,” says Carol Verret. “This seminar will detail the business model of the new paradigm of hotel sales that anyone can implement.”

Sales should be fun and this paradigm puts the fun back in sales.  Technology and creativity will help you get the New Business Development prospects you want to call you!  Following this web cast you will:
