We at Knowland are thrilled to announce our Top 10 ranking of Proactive Group Selling Trailblazers! Knowland defines a Proactive Group Selling Trailblazer as a group sales professional who proactively hunts for the best-fitting group business for their property and sells directly to the planner.
In November 2019, we invited group sales professionals to submit their success stories using the Knowland platform to proactively source group business for their properties. Knowland identified the top winners based on the contestants’ use of the Knowland platform, demonstration of Hunter-style sales skills, the revenue sourced for their property, whether or not the group turned into repeat business, and the time it took to source that business.
Below is the official listing of Knowland’s first Top 10 Proactive Group Selling Trailblazers. Read their stories here.
