A Smarter, Faster Path to Hotel Sales Coverage
The Power of a Transitional Hire

A Message from Constance Colvin

​

Hotel owners and General Managers know that vacant sales roles don't just create gaps—they create risk. Every day without coverage means missed opportunities, unanswered inquiries, and momentum lost. And while the traditional hiring process can take weeks (or months), the business doesn’t pause while you search for a candidate to fill that vacant position. 

​

That’s where the power of a transitional hire comes in. At Sales Key Consulting, our seasoned sales consultants offer an immediate, agile solution. No recruitment delays, no lengthy onboarding—just results. Let’s compare the process:  â€‹Hiring Process: Traditional vs. Transitional

​

🔹 Traditional Hire:

- Average 45–60 days to recruit
- 2–4 weeks of onboarding & training
- Full-time salary + benefits
- Risk of mismatched hire
- Delayed revenue generation

🔹 Transitional Hire (Sales Key Consultant):

- Ready to start within days
- Minimal onboarding—hotel sales experts
- Flexible terms (short or long-term)
- No benefits, HR processing, or payroll burdens
- Revenue strategy resumes immediately

​

Navigating the Decision
 

Q: What types of hotels benefit most from transitional hires?
