Tammy Gillis

Founder and CEO

With over 25 years of Sales and Marketing experience, Tammy Gillis launched her sales career with Hilton Hotels and spent 10 years in various sales leadership roles. She credits her years at Hilton for honing her sales skills and developing into a relevant consultative seller.

Tammy’s entrepreneurial drive led her to start a hospitality consulting and training company in 2013. She saw a gap in how sales people were being onboarded into the industry and felt they were not being set up for success. Tammy has trained thousands of sales professionals, hotel owners, General Managers and front-line associates. She has a passion for improving not only the skill set but also the mindset of sales professionals to succeed in this digital age of selling to modern buyers.

Believing that sales is the life blood for all organizations, her mission is to make sales accessible and achievable for all hotel owners. In 2014, Tammy disrupted the traditional hotel sales model and launched a Sales for Hire program for focused-service hotels operating without a sales team.
