Prepare, review, and manage sales contracts, rate agreements, banquet/catering event orders, and event resumes accurately and on time.
Respond to inquiries and prepare client proposals in accordance with departmental standards.
Prepare monthly sales-related reports and forecasts for assigned areas of responsibility.
Lead BEO meetings for in-house events and ensure event details are communicated to all relevant departments.
