We are currently seeking Global Meetings & Travel Professionals to help us continue to grow, both in the United States and internationally. 

VenueQuest Global Meetings & Travel Job Description:

A type-A personality who is tired of working hard for little reward and is ready to excel with a world-class organization that knows there is more to life than work, and who rewards you handsomely for your efforts. We need a go-getter and fierce negotiator with a charismatic personality who is able to win the hearts of everyone they meet. Overachievers will be in good company and we appreciate those who have no tolerance for mediocrity, because only better than the best will do for our clients and our team. This amazing individual must have substantial experience in the hotel/group travel/meeting planning industry and expect to grow professionally with a company that does not except limitations, and prefers to set the standards, not follow them. We are looking for a team player, but also someone who is a true leader and is able to inspire others to put forth their best effort. You must be confident enough in your ability to build and maintain a client base to accept a generous commission-only pay scale, with the knowledge that your income is limited only by your ambition!  If you are this person, contact me so that we can finally welcome you home to our team.

VenueQuest is an innovative and highly reputable meeting planning and hotel site selection company. Our reputation for fast, efficient and professional service has gained us the trust of our clients and the hotels we do business with. We are currently seeking associates in several key geographic markets to help us continue the exciting and fast paced growth we have already experienced for the past 4 years. 

This position will allow you to continue working within the hotel and meeting planning industry, but in a role that allows you to pursue a better work/life balance than you may currently be experiencing.  In this position you will primarily be locating clients for our hotel/venue site selection product and then servicing the needs of those clients.  You will draw upon your experiences in the hotel industry to counsel and navigate your clients through the hotel search process, site inspections, contracting process and the execution of their meeting. 

VenueQuest is compensated for this service by collecting commissions from hotels, which are then shared with the associate who facilitated the booking.  Because our service is provided at no charge to clients, it is also an easy service to sell for someone with knowledge of the group travel/meetings industry.  Our commission sharing pay structure is the most generous that we know of in our industry, and is not restricted by annual caps or limitations.  Please note that this is a COMMISSION-ONLY position, so your ability to build and maintain a client base is important to your success. We also have a bonus plan and benefits in place for our team members not offered by our competitors. Therefore, the harder you work, or the more clients you serve, the more you earn. 

Our Global Travel & Meetings Position is a home-office based career in order to allow you the greatest leverage in achieving your personal work/life balance.  You will set your own hours and work at your own pace, but you must commit to a minimum of 20 hours per week. We are looking for individuals who are interested in an entrepreneurial environment with unlimited income potential.

Job Requirements:
2 years (preferably more) of experience in hotel sales, national hotel sales or convention/visitor bureau sales
~or~
2 years as a corporate or association meeting planner with experience in booking group accommodations and meeting space for 1 or more events per year

PLEASE NOTE: This is a COMMISSION-ONLY position, so your ability to build and maintain a client base, as well as prior knowledge of the group travel/meetings industry, is essential to your success in this position.

Benefits

Some of the many personal benefits you will enjoy as a National Account Executive for VenueQuest include:
Opportunity to work from your home
No pre-determined schedule or limitations on time off
Volume negotiating power with major hotel companies
Assistance with all aspects of accounting including contract negotiation, invoicing and collections
Corporate marketing support for personal sales efforts

Before submitting your resume for review, please carefully consider your ability to work independently on a commission-only pay scale. While we encourage and support our Global Meetings & Travel Professionals to the best of our ability, this opportunity is not for everyone as it is a highly sales-driven career requiring someone with a lot of self-discipline.
