- Confidently selling and upselling our venue, packages, and services.
- Conducting show rounds and guiding clients through every stage of the booking process.
- Drafting proposals, managing contracts and deposits, and ensuring all administrative details are accurate and timely.
- Hitting sales targets while delivering a service that’s warm, personal, and reflective of our brand.
- Collaborating across departments to hand over confirmed events and support smooth delivery.
- Gathering post-event feedback and securing repeat business when possible.
- Keeping up with industry trends, competitor research, and new lead development.
