As a Hospitality Sales Director, you know the value of a strong sales team. You also know that the best way to grow your business is through training your staff and empowering them to succeed. But with so much to do, how can you find the time—and justify the cost—of providing ongoing training?
Be confident in your team’s readiness with the Gold Key training app. Focus your training on the knowledge that’s unique to your property, and turn your new hires into confident, empowered team members.
Successful Handling of Prospects is our new definition of shops.
We’re the best in the industry at Legacy Shop Surveys… so we’ll be the first to tell you how they can fall short. Too often, they’re “pinpoint” measurements: detailed assessments of 1 or 2 individuals, at a single moment in time. As a result, it’s hard for directors to tie shop results to bottom-line impact.
We’ve combined proprietary technology with our decades of experience to bring shop surveys into the modern era.
Now, you can assess, coach, and level-up your entire team, all at once. Even better, you can do it without disrupting your business. Here’s how:
Help your team master your property’s proprietary playbook.
You’ve invested years defining your property’s standard of service. But is that critical operational knowledge languishing in a binder?
Who on your team has mastered your playbook? Who needs help?
Now you can answer those questions with data, so you can prevent guest relations incidents before they happen.
We’ll help you convert your proprietary playbook into engaging, mobile microlearning lessons. Our technology is trusted by properties like the Breakers Palm Beach to ensure a consistent, premium guest experience.
Key benefits:
Technology to help your team master hospitality sales in just 4 weeks.
To hit sales goals, everyone on your team must master these skills. But time is money, and you need your team focused on selling – not hours of training. There has to be a better way.
That’s why we built the 4-Week Sales Success Challenge. We’ve distilled over 37 years of hospitality sales expertise into a focused micro-learning program. With just 15 minutes per day, your reps can become the best in the industry.
Each module will give your team concrete steps they can apply right away to close deals faster. Along the way, they’ll practice the mindsets, frameworks, and skills they need to succeed.
Use data to understand your team’s capabilities
Our technology takes the guesswork out of leading your sales team. You’ll see exactly where your team is strong – and where knowledge gaps are hurting performance. Armed with this knowledge, you’ll know exactly how to focus your attention in Daily Business Reviews (DBRs).
