Are you a born sales hunter who gets energized by winning new business?

Courtyard by Marriott Ghent and Scala Meeting & Event Center are looking for a driven sales hunter with a strong commercial mindset. Someone who doesn’t wait for opportunities to come their way, but actively goes out and creates them. Whether it’s a small business, a large international organization or an agency: you spot the opportunity, go after it and get energized by winning new clients. A true sales-first mentality – that’s what we’re looking for.

A look behind the scenes of your role

•You actively seek out new clients and are not afraid of cold prospecting.

•You build your own sales portfolio and proactively follow up on leads and opportunities.

•You take ownership of the sales process, from the first contact to the signed contract.

•You quickly build strong relationships with clients and know how to turn their needs into commercial opportunities.

•You work closely with Sales, Operations, Marketing and the other hotels within our group to win new business.

•You keep track of your sales activities and results in our CRM system and continuously look for new ways to generate more business.

Who are we looking for?

•You are a true hunter: proactive, entrepreneurial and driven to win new business.

•You are commercial and results-oriented: you spot opportunities, think in solutions and feel comfortable working with targets and KPIs.

•You are persuasive and persistent: a “no” doesn’t stop you, and you enjoy working both independently and as part of a team.

•You hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Business Administration, Economics, Tourism, Hotel Management or a similar field.

•You have a few years of experience in sales, preferably within the hospitality industry.

•You speak fluent Dutch and/or good English. An additional language such as French, German or Spanish is a plus.

•You are comfortable using digital tools and systems that support sales processes, such as CRM software, property management systems (PMS), reporting tools and online communication platforms. You effortlessly switch between email, video calls, social media and other digital channels to reach clients and build lasting relationships.
