We’re looking for an experienced, self-directed B2B sales professional to develop advertiser relationships throughout the Houston and surrounding hospitality markets .

Depending on hotel partner assignments, representatives may work in markets located within approximately 250 miles of Houston .

This opportunity is well suited for someone who enjoys field sales, is comfortable traveling to assigned regional markets, and likes meeting business owners face-to-face, developing new accounts, and building long-term business relationships.

What You’ll Be Selling

You’ll sell digital advertising opportunities to local businesses that want exposure to hotel guests and travelers through Regal’s hospitality media network.

Potential advertisers include:

• Restaurants and bars
• Attractions and entertainment venues
• Wineries, tours, and visitor experiences
• Golf, recreation, and tourism businesses
• Ski retailers
• Retailers and specialty shops
• Transportation providers
• Salons, spas, and wellness businesses

• Hospitality or tourism sales
• Visitor guides or local publications
• Radio or sponsorship sales
• Merchant services / payment processing
• Telecom, payroll, or other small-business services

The specific industry matters less than your ability to prospect, build rapport with business owners, follow up consistently, and close .

You should also be comfortable working independently, organizing your own sales activity, and traveling to regional markets when assigned.

If you’re someone who would rather be out developing business than sitting behind a desk waiting for leads, this may be a strong fit.
