SECURE-RES Hires Two Sales Stars
JUNE 14, 2007. With an impressive client portfolio and an ever-growing share of the hospitality industry, SECURE-RES introduces the latest additions to its dynamic sales team.
Elizabeth Parker is taking on the role of Regional Sales Manager for the North Eastern United States. In her more than 25 years as a sales professional, she has developed relationships with major hospitality groups such as Marriott, Hilton, InterContinental, and Choice. Among her numerous hospitality awards is the 2005 Partner of the Year Award from the Loudoun County Convention and Visitors Bureau of Northern Virginia.
'Customer experience management is our new revolution,' says Parker of SECURE-RES. 'I'm glad to be a part of this very exciting team!'
Joining the team as the Regional Sales Manager for South Central United States is Mark Schurtz, a 20-year veteran of the hospitality industry. His extensive experience in both sales and operations includes Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International, MPI, ASAE, GWSAE and various tourism and CVB boards. Schurtz joins SECURE-RES from Chartwell Hospitality, where he served as General Manager.
'It's extremely exciting to be part of the hotel and resort industry's most dynamic, customer-focused Internet marketing company,' says Schurtz.
Senior Vice President of Sales Joel Carver feels both hospitality professionals will be a powerful addition to his sales force: 'Mark's unique experiences will bring valuable insight into the needs of our clients, and Liz brings a solid consultative approach to selling. It's a privilege to have these two dynamos on our team.'
