Thursday at 10:30 AM ET works for me. Honestly, I’m feeling the limits of a single-property focus,our digital budget and global reach at A***E are pretty constrained, which has held back our group revenue growth. Looking forward to chatting!

• Build, mentor and inspire high-performing sales teams in each region, ensuring consistency in best-in-class client service and creating clear paths for career growth.
• Partner closely with marketing, revenue management and digital experts to design global campaigns, optimize channel mix and elevate our brand presence.
• Cultivate and negotiate high-value group and event business, leveraging our international footprint to unlock new market opportunities.
• Analyze performance metrics and market trends, continuously refining initiatives to hit,and exceed,ambitious targets.
This role offers robust digital resources, true global reach and a competitive compensation package with bonus/incentive structures. It’s a chance to step into enterprise leadership, drive real change across multiple properties and shape the future of a rapidly growing luxury boutique brand.

Thanks, J***e,this sounds right up my alley. Quick questions before Thursday: what’s the current headcount and structure of the regional sales & marketing teams, and how do you define early success in this role?


Hi Y***e,
Great questions. Here’s a high-level view of our current regional Sales & Marketing setup:
• Headcount & Structure
, Total team size: ~20,22 professionals
, Regional leadership: 3 Regional Sales & Marketing Directors (North America, EMEA, APAC)
, Property-level: 10 Sales Managers (one embedded at each hotel)
, Central marketing & digital: 7 specialists covering brand, CRM, content and paid media
Everyone reports into the Regional VP of Sales & Marketing,you,while collaborating closely with Revenue Management and our shared Services teams (digital, revenue analytics, events).
Early success in this role is defined by a 30-60-90 framework and typically looks like:
1. By 30 days:
, Complete team org charts and establish one-on-one cadence with each direct report
, Map out top 20 group accounts and agree on segment priorities
2. By 60 days:
, Launch a pilot integrated campaign (e.g., a regional group blitz or digital retargeting push)
, Present a unified, data-driven action plan for pipeline growth
3. By 90 days:
, Secure first wave of high-value group/business accounts for the upcoming quarter
, Demonstrate a 10,15% uplift in group revenue pipeline vs. prior period
, Solidify cross-functional processes with marketing, revenue and digital

Great, thanks for the breakdown! Quick follow-up: what’s the experience mix of the 10 embedded Sales Managers,are they seasoned leaders I can lean on or more junior talent to develop? And for that 60-day pilot campaign, is there a dedicated budget or will I need to negotiate from the central pool?


Hi Y***e,
Great questions!
1. Experience mix of embedded Sales Managers
- About 60% are seasoned leaders (7+ years in luxury/group sales) with proven P&L and large-account management experience you can lean on day one.
- The remaining 40% are rising stars (3,5 years’ experience) who bring fresh energy and are eager for your mentorship and development.
2. 60-day pilot campaign budget
- You’ll have a ring-fenced regional marketing allocation (roughly $75K,$100K) dedicated to that pilot,covering digital, events and promotional materials.
- If you identify additional opportunities beyond that amount, you’ll collaborate directly with finance and our central marketing head to tap into the broader pool. In other words, you won’t be negotiating from zero,you’ll have a clear budget envelope plus support to scale as needed.
Let me know if you’d like any more details before Thursday’s call!
Best,
J***e
Got it, thanks! Two quick ones before Thursday: what’s the average tenure and turnover like among your senior embedded Sales Managers? And on that $75,100K pilot budget, how flexible is the spend across digital, events and promo materials,and what ROI benchmarks are you looking to hit?


Hi Y***e,
Thanks for these great questions. Here’s a quick breakdown:
1. Average tenure & turnover among senior embedded Sales Managers
• Average tenure: about 3,4 years at E***e
• Annual turnover: roughly 8,10% among that senior cohort, reflecting a stable, high-engagement team you can count on
2. Pilot budget flexibility
• The $75K,$100K allocation is fully flexible,you decide the split across digital, events and promo materials based on your strategy
• If you identify high-impact opportunities beyond that envelope, you’ll work directly with finance and central marketing to scale resources
3. ROI benchmarks
• Overall pilot target: a 3:1 revenue-to-investment ratio and a 10,15% uplift in group revenue pipeline within 60 days
• Digital: aim for at least 4:1 ROAS
• Events: target a 20%+ conversion rate from qualified leads to booked business
• Promotional materials: drive a 15%+ lift in engagement or inquiries among key accounts
Hope this helps,looking forward to diving into more detail on our call Thursday at 10:30 AM ET. Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like ahead of time!
Best,
J***e
Thanks, J***e,given my data-driven approach at A***E, could you share what tools or dashboards E***e uses to track that 4:1 ROAS and 20% event conversion in real time, and how agile is the budget reallocation if a channel underperforms mid-pilot?


Hi Y***e,
Great question. At E***e we use a centralized BI platform that pulls in live spend and performance data from our CRM and digital channels (think G***e Ads, L***n, M***a) to display real-time ROAS in an intuitive dashboard. Our event management system likewise streams registrations and bookings into that same view, so you can watch your 20%+ conversion rate tick up as leads turn into business.
As for budget agility, you’ll have direct access to our financial management tool,allowing you to shift up to 20% of your pilot allocation across digital, events or promo line items within 24 hours. Any request beyond that threshold follows an expedited review with finance and central marketing, which is typically signed off within 48 hours. This setup ensures you can pivot quickly if a channel underperforms mid-pilot.
Looking forward to diving into more detail on Thursday at 10:30 AM ET. Let me know if you need anything else before then!
Best,
J***e
