Sales Manager (Hospitality) | Everhome Suites | San Antonio, TX

ARK Hospitality is seeking a motivated, relationship-focused Hotel Sales Manager to drive revenue growth and business development for Everhome Suites San Antonio Lackland near SeaWorld .

This is a hands-on sales position for someone who enjoys meeting new people, developing local relationships, finding new business, and turning opportunities into repeat room nights. The Sales Manager will be highly visible throughout the San Antonio market, building relationships with military-related organizations, government contractors, construction companies, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, relocation partners, local employers, and other businesses that generate extended-stay demand.

Everhome Suites is designed for guests staying a week, a month, or longer. Our apartment-style suites feature full kitchens and comfortable spaces to work, dine, and relax. The successful Sales Manager will understand how to position these amenities for project teams, relocating employees, military families, traveling professionals, construction crews, healthcare travelers, insurance placements, and other guests who need more than a traditional overnight hotel stay.

The Sales Manager will develop new accounts, strengthen existing relationships, manage leads and RFPs, conduct outside sales activity, and work closely with the General Manager, Regional Director of Sales, revenue-management partners, and property team to increase occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, long-term room nights, and overall hotel profitability.

• Review occupancy reports, revenue forecasts, ADR goals, RevPAR performance, booking pace, and market conditions to prioritize sales activity.
  
• Collaborate with the General Manager, Regional Director of Sales, revenue-management team, and property leadership to align sales efforts with hotel performance goals.
  
• Conduct professional property tours and site inspections that highlight the hotel’s guest suites, full kitchens, amenities, location, and extended-stay value.
  
• Participate in Chamber of Commerce events, military-community organizations, local networking groups, business associations, and community-development opportunities.
  
• Develop a working knowledge of hotel operations, including Guest Services, Housekeeping, the Homebase Market, guest laundry facilities, fitness center, and extended-stay service expectations.
