Boot Camp Testimonials
Todd McIntyre
Director of Sales & Marketing
La Quinta Inn and Suites
Fountains of Loveland
"The Sales and Marketing Boot Camp helped us boost our sales and marketingefforts with a major shot in the arm. With Bob Sauerwine’s help, we were able to re-evaluate our placement in the market, pin-point our niche and thus focus our sales efforts more effectively.
Throughout the week, we were introduced to overlooked marketing opportunities, both on the web and print. By taking advantage of these, we have greatly increased our exposure in the market.
Our sales team is very excited, and already we have seen an increase in inquiries and in bookings. Our experience with Bob and the Sales and Marketing Boot Camp will surely prove to be very beneficial as we move forward."

“The sales boot camp is an amazing experience! I truly feel that I have learned so much and it has left me absolutely excited and motivated. I have a new sense of encouragement and hope for the hotel. This is a program that anyone who is new to sales, or is starting to lose hope in their efforts, should go through!.... I have been working in the market for almost 4 years now and have lived here my whole life. I believe that having a new, fresh outlook was extremely helpful. You have helped me to see the world around me from a sales point of view. A great example of this is Vita Mix. I passed this business everyday and never thought to market to them until after you were here!”

"Grand Bay Hospitality facilitated a Sales Boot Camp that was second to none. They looked at our facilities sales plan and helped us redesign it in a manner that will no doubt bring us new business in new markets. Grand Bay Hospitality also gave sales team the confidence and the tools necessary to take our business to a new level. I would recommend Grand Bay Hospitality to any general manager / owner in the hotel or convention center industry"

"I hired Grand Bay Hospitality to do their Sales Boot Camp program; we focused in on our local area sales and received immediate results. In late November 2009, I again hired G.B.H.G to further refresh our sales efforts and to help us enhance our website to increase our internet sales. The cost was well worth it."

"These programs add dollars to the bottom line; and, we all know an increase in NOI means an increase in property value."

“In our first year of expense management services we have achieved significant savings in various areas of our operation. We have been able to upgrade our benefits package for our employees at lower cost, and we have realized cost savings in our purchases of amenities, office supplies and equipment, food, and food service products. We have an excellent working relationship with the Grand Bay team, who are extremely responsive to any request. They are also proactive in looking for savings opportunities in different areas of our business, including benefits, contract services, purchasing and utilities.”
