Prepare Quarterly / yearly budget, sales target and actively execute them

In the initial period, as long as you need, on-site at the resort for "training / understanding of the resort". To sell Ahmic Lake authentically, you need to know every cottage, walk to Feighan Falls, understand the area, the lake front, and dine in the restaurant etc. After that foundation is built, the role is remote-eligible with some visits for site tours and client hosting.

We will provide competitive salary and other perks.
