I was responsible for managing the conference sales team at PEI. The team consisted of five sales execs: two in London, two in New York and two in Hong Kong. I oversaw the sales cycle for approximately 35 events per annum. I was responsible for instigating and leading the members of my team through the initial sales brief with the relevant conference producer, optimization of marketing resources (general tactics, prospecting, sales initiatives in sync with specific marketing campaigns, regular progress reports etc), close correspondence with production team, regular reporting to the Director of Conferences, actively pitching and prospecting for 300-400+ leads per event, analysing and advising on weekly progress reports from the members of my team, day to day general management (negotiations with prospects, sales tactics, admin assistance etc), maintenance of CRM database and spreadsheets (pipeline, overall sales and comms calculations, conference performance versus previous years, KPI's etc). I travelled to New York and Hong Kong annually in order to maintain and develop my working relationship with members of my team, and was regularly in attendance at the numerous events we hosted in Europe.
