Todd D. Scholl

Director of Sales and Marketing, The Peabody Little Rock

In December, 2004, Todd D. Scholl was appointed director of sales and marketing for The Peabody Little Rock, an AAA Four-Diamond property within the portfolio of Peabody Hotels, and Preferred Hotels & Resorts. Sales and marketing are in his blood. At an early age, his parents, both of whom are professional sales executives, taught young Scholl the finer points of the art of selling, and closing the deal. He is a consummate hotel/hospitality sales manager, who draws on over twelve years of experience in the field. Before joining The Peabody Little Rock, Scholl was director of sales and marketing for the luxurious Canterbury Hotel - Indianapolis, a position he held for four years. At this Preferred Hotel & Resorts property, he was responsible for all aspects of sales, marketing, yield control, group sales, marketing and PR. He finished his first year $100-K over the previous year's final room revenue. Prior to that, he worked with the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Bureau and with Marriott International. A native of Fort Madison, Iowa, Scholl studied at the University of Iowa and graduated in 1989 with a bachelor's degree in communication.
