It’s been an incredible ride over the past 6 years in sales and marketing, with the last 2 years dedicated to the ever-dynamic hospitality industry.

Transitioning into the hospitality sector, I discovered a whole new world of opportunities and challenges, each teaching me the value of adaptability and resilience. The sales and marketing field is much more than numbers and campaigns it’s about building relationships, embracing change, and crafting experiences. Whether it’s closing deals, curating marketing strategies, or representing a property, I’ve found that every challenge can be met with a smile and smooth communication skills. What amazes me most is how this profession constantly pushes us to grow, learn, and connect with people from all walks of life. Each day comes with its own set of surprises and opportunities to think creatively, adapt to the situation, and deliver results. The hospitality industry, in particular, has taught me the importance of empathy and service excellence. From creating compelling campaigns to solving last-minute issues, I’ve realized the true essence of teamwork and the joy of celebrating even the smallest victories. I’m grateful for this journey and excited about what lies ahead. To my fellow professionals in sales and marketing, let’s keep embracing challenges with smiling faces and turning them into stepping stones for success. #SalesAndMarketing #HospitalityIndustry #CareerJourney

Change often brings uncertainty, but it also presents opportunities for innovation and growth. At An6ix Apartments Hotel, I introduced new strategies that not only enhanced guest satisfaction but also significantly increased revenue. This experience taught me that by embracing change and thinking creatively, we can transform challenges into opportunities for growth. My time as a Realtor further reinforced the importance of adaptability. By building trust-based relationships and effectively communicating with clients, I was able to navigate the ever-evolving real estate market and achieve win-win outcomes. This experience highlighted the power of innovation in creating value for both clients and the organization.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻, 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗮𝗿𝘀 Let me share a quick story. I recently worked with a hotel team that was struggling to hit their revenue targets. Everyone was working hard—sales were chasing new leads, marketing was launching campaigns, and revenue management was tweaking rates. But something wasn’t clicking. When I joined their conversations, it became clear: the teams weren’t aligned. Sales didn’t fully understand the revenue strategy. Marketing was creating great campaigns, but they weren’t driving the right bookings. Revenue management was focused on numbers but missing the bigger picture. The result? Silos, confusion, frustration and missed opportunities. This is a challenge I see so often in the hospitality industry. Teams are busy, but they’re not moving in the same direction. And when revenue, sales, and marketing aren’t aligned, hotels miss out on growth—and profits. Here’s how I helped: 1. 𝗪𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. I brought the teams together to share their perspectives, challenges, and goals. 2. 𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. Everyone agreed on what success looked like and how their roles contributed to it. 3. 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀. I helped them map out clear steps to ensure every action supported the same revenue goals. A few months later, they hit their quarterly targets—because they weren’t just working harder. They were working together. This is what I do. I help hotels align their commercial strategies, so their teams can achieve more together. Whether it’s through coaching, training, or workshops, my goal is simple: to turn misalignment into momentum. If you’ve ever felt like your teams are pulling in different directions, let’s talk. Alignment changes everything. #RevenueStrategy #HospitalityLeadership #TeamAlignment #CoachingForSuccess #HospitalityGrowth

Hey there, LinkedIn family! 👋 Today, I want to take you on a journey through the world of operations management. As someone who has been in the trenches of both the hospitality industry and a bustling digital marketing agency, I’ve seen my fair share of myths and misconceptions. Let’s debunk these myths together, using real-life stories to bring the truths to light. Buckle up, and let’s get started! 🚀 Myth 1: Operations Management is All About Numbers and Metrics The Story When I first stepped into the world of hospitality, I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of data. Occupancy rates, customer satisfaction scores, revenue per available room (RevPAR)—the numbers were endless. It felt like operations management was all about crunching numbers. 📊 The Reality But then, I had an enlightening conversation with a seasoned hotel manager. She said, "Operations management isn’t just about numbers; it’s about people and processes." She taught me that the numbers are a reflection of how well we manage our teams and streamline our processes. The real magic happens when we focus on improving guest experiences and empowering our staff. The numbers will follow. 🌟 The Takeaway In both hospitality and digital marketing, operations management is about creating seamless experiences for customers and employees. It’s about finding the balance between efficiency and human touch. Myth 2: Operations Managers are Just ‘Fixers’ The Story In the early days of my career, I saw operations managers as firefighters, always running around putting out fires. 🔥 Whenever something went wrong, they were the ones to fix it. But as I gained more experience, my perspective shifted. The Reality Operations managers are not just fixers; they are strategic leaders. They anticipate issues before they arise and put systems in place to prevent them. They are the architects of efficiency, constantly seeking ways to improve and innovate. In both the hospitality and digital marketing worlds, the best operations managers are those who can think ahead and drive continuous improvement. 🏗️ The Takeaway Operations managers are proactive leaders who shape the future of their organizations. Their role goes far beyond just fixing problems. Operations management is not just about numbers; it’s about creating seamless experiences for customers and employees.
