HPN Global Creates New “Task Force” Division
Aimed to Help Hotel Sales Departments

Scottsdale, Ariz. (April 27, 2011): Hospitality Performance Network Global (HPNG), the world’s most global site selection and meeting procurement company, announced today the launch of a new division aimed to help hotels and hotel management companies fill open revenue producing sales positions with short term, qualified and experienced, revenue producing HPN Global associates.

The new division called HPN Global Task Force will place qualified and experienced HPN Global associates on site at a specific hotel or inside a hotel management company for a short term contract, typically 30-90 days. The Task Force associate will solely focus on bringing business to that hotel or property. The purpose of the HPN Global Task Force is keep revenues flowing during a time of transition at the hotel.

“In today’s economy, there are many reasons for open hotel sales positions such as management changes, maternity leave, employee turnover, bankruptcy or a bank takeover,” said Bill Kilburg, chairman and CEO of HPN Global. “This is just another way HPN Global continues to be forward thinking and differentiate ourselves from the competition.”

The Task Force’s mission is to use leadership, experience and relationships to assist our hotel management partners with short-term, revenue producing sales professionals that produce results. As soon as a hotel partner notifies the Task Force of an opening, an associate can be placed within three to five days. It will be seamless transition and the only commitment on the hotels end is to simply pay a monthly salary and additional performance fee for whatever the HPN Global Task Force associate books to their property.

“The hospitality industry needs a service like this because they can’t afford to keep revenue producing sales positions open too long,” said Mark Dallman, director, HPN Task Force. “We know it will provide value to our hotel partners. HPN Global has some of the world’s top hospitality executives and our hotel partners will get to use their expertise and knowledge to help bridge the gap while they are looking to fill the position with a permanent hire. Essentially, they are getting a revenue producing, relationship based HPN “Rockstar” without paying an enormous healthcare benefit cost. It’s a win-win for all parties involved and something we’re really excited to offer our hotel partners.”
