Sell the Legend: Own Group Business at Clint Eastwood’s Hog’s Breath Inn.
For fifty-plus years the Hog’s Breath Inn has been Carmel’s central gathering place — fire-lit patios, rustic stone, warm redwood, and a founder’s story no competitor can copy. The Inn hosts 18 to 200 for rehearsal dinners, wine-paired celebrations, corporate retreats, and full-property events, with a limited calendar of select off-site engagements. We are hiring one Monterey Peninsula professional to own every dollar of its group, catering, and event business.
Why this role is different
- The best venue story in town, in a market built of gold-plated weeks: the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Monterey Car Week and the Concours events, the Bach Festival, the Jazz Festival — and a wedding trade that runs March through November.
- One clean, uncapped commission on every contracted group dollar — no source splits, no fine print: 2% to start, stepping up a full point as your annual revenues cross $250K, $500K, $750K, $1M, and $1.25M, to 7% at the top.
- Real money, honestly stated: a guaranteed $1,250 draw every payroll plus commissions — $55K–$70K in total earnings at the year-one plan goal, $80K–$100K+ as your book matures past $1M. No cap, ever.
- Work directly with ownership. No layers, no committees — bring a deal, get a decision.
What you’ll own
- A year-one market sales goal of $990,000 in contracted group business — Car Week buyouts, Pro-Am hospitality, rehearsal dinners, winemaker dinners in the fire-lit courtyard, and every lead, tour, contract, and BEO behind it.
- A referral machine: inn and hotel concierges, wedding planners, DMCs, tour operators, tasting rooms, and estate managers — fed by monthly partner receptions you host.
- The social voice (Instagram/Facebook), the group sales kit, and the community map: corporate retreats, weddings, military and university milestones, nonprofits, and life celebrations.
What you bring
- 5+ years leading catering / group / event sales at restaurants, hotels, resorts, clubs, or premier venues — with a revenue number you owned and grew, and real Monterey Peninsula relationships.
- A closer’s pipeline discipline, full-cycle event chops (menus, BEOs, floor, settlement), and polish with executives, planners, and families alike.
