Bein' a sales lady . . .

Mother Hen and her chicks enjoying a day at the beach!

Today was my second day in Sales and nothing too exciting happened. Learned more about the department and what each sales managers are responsible for. For example the leisure sales manager is responsible to work with travel agents and their clients, and all groups under 10 rooms. There are two group sales managers that split up the US, one of them takes care of west of the Mississippi and the other handles the east. I was really surprised that international sales is handled by regional sales and Princeville simply tries to focus on the US market. Also I learned that supposedly the hottest group business in the industry right now are the insurance companies who have tons of conventions, incentive trips, etc. Today I mostly dealt with one of the group sales managers and researched all of the destination management companies and updated Princeville's current database.

After work just worked out and ate some Kahlua pork and cabbage with some rice for dinner (not too bad actually ;), reminded me a lot of corn beef and cabbage). I also got to talk to the front desk manager about my time with her next week and she offered me an opportunity to cover all shifts, even grave shift, which I think will be very interesting.

Goodbye Mother Hen and family!

PS- Did I mention that there are chickens and roosters everywhere? Even on the beach!
