Hotel sales manager resume template
Short answer
Catalyst suits a hotel sales manager: it opens on your current hotel with no summary, so room nights, revenue and quota come first. The fictional sample sells group and corporate business for a convention hotel, books room nights and catering revenue above goal and grows key accounts. Put your market segment and quota result in the headline.

Why Catalyst suits a hotel sales manager resume
Catalyst prints no summary and opens on Work Experience under teal headings, below a large name and headline. Directors of sales hire on recent room nights and revenue against goal, so leading with the current hotel and its numbers matches how they read.
Second choice: Olivia. Olivia keeps a summary and a bold header, a fit for sales coordinators stepping up.
What goes in each section, in Catalyst's order
Catalyst prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.
- Work Experience. Lead with hotel type and market segment. Then room nights and revenue against goal, accounts, site visits and events.
- Skills. Group sales, corporate accounts, contracts, prospecting and sales systems.
- Projects. One major account win or event with the result.
- Education. Hospitality or business degree with the year.

Frequently asked questions
What should a hotel sales manager resume focus on?
Room nights and revenue against goal, accounts won and grown, site visits and segment. Directors of sales want managers who fill the hotel with the right business.
How do I show results without contract details?
Use room nights, revenue and goal attainment, and describe accounts by type and size. Keep client names and terms private. Rankings within your company, such as top seller in a region, also help.
How do I move from sales coordinator to sales manager?
Show proposals you led, accounts you handled and site visits you ran. Taking on a small segment is a strong step.
Is this template right for catering or events sales managers?
Yes. Replace room nights with catering revenue and events booked, and describe menus and event types.
Does Catalyst work without a summary?
Yes. The headline carries your segment and result. If you prefer a summary, Olivia prints one.
How long should the resume be?
One page for most sales managers. Keep room nights and goal attainment at the top.
Will applicant tracking systems read this Catalyst PDF?
The sample PDF read back with its contact details, all 4 section headings and all 10 bullets intact in three open-source text extractors (pdf.js, pdftotext and pypdf). Commercial systems such as Workday, Greenhouse or Taleo were not tested, and each employer configures its own.
