HPN Global “Task Force” Division Offers Short Term Solutions to Hotels Without Commitment of Traditional Full Time Sales Person

First Project Underway at Ravella at Lake Las Vegas

Scottsdale, Ariz. (August 1, 2011): Hospitality Performance Network Global (HPNG), the world’s most global site selection and meeting procurement company, has landed the Task Force’s first project with Dolce Hotels and Resorts. A qualified and experienced, revenue producing sales associate has been placed at the Ravella at Lake Las Vegas to help the hotel expand into new markets.

“HPN Global’s Task Force is filling a need for us, without the commitment of a traditional full time sales person,” said Carol Bullock, vice president of sales, North America for Dolce Hotels & Resorts. “We’re looking for a short term return on investment and so far, we’ve been really impressed. Our sales associate is already delivering quality leads to the hotel and penetrating markets where we didn’t have a presence.”

The new HPN Global Task Force Division places experienced and revenue producing Task Force sales associates on site at a specific hotel or they may also work remotely for a short term contract, typically 30-90 days. The experienced Task Force sales associate focuses solely on booking group business into that hotel or property. The purpose of the HPN Global Task Force is to keep revenues flowing during a time of transition at the hotel.

The mission of HPN Global’s Task Force Division 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 Division of an opening, an associate can be placed within three to five days. It is a seamless transition and the only commitment on the hotels end is to simply pay a monthly retainer and an additional booking incentive for whatever the Task Force sales associate books into the property.

Mark Dallman, director, HPN Task Force noted, “We are very excited to partner with Dolce Hotels and Resorts and the newly reopened Ravella Lake Las Vegas. This is a beautiful property that all planners should consider for their next West Coast Meeting. Our HPN Global Task Force sales support is a perfect fit for this property as we are providing a short-term, contracted, revenue producing sales professional at minimal cost to the hotel. We look forward to a growing relationship with Dolce Hotels and Resorts and their management team at this hotel and many more in the future.”
