  • Psav
    Sales Producer
    Psav Jun 2014 - Jun 2016
    Las Vegas, Nevada
    As a key member of the Sales team at PSAV's top producing hotel The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas I am currently partnering with the clients assigned to me with the audio visual production of their corporate event or meeting. I work in conjunction with Project Managers and technical experts to provide every client the best possible event whether it's a $5000 board meeting or a $500,000 yearly convention. The success starts with the discovery process which doesn't mean taking a list of specs the client sends and putting a quote together but instead listening to them tell you about the event and why it's being held. My job is to discover what they truly require, educate them on advances in technology, and explain to them how these items along with a strong support team inside of a state of the art hotel will lead to their best meeting experience ever.
