Committed to Excellence

At Gillis Sales, we understand that the backbone of our success lies in the strength of our sales team. That’s why we are deeply committed to ongoing training and development—ensuring that our team is equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to not only meet, but exceed, the expectations of our clients. We know that protecting our clients’ investment means continually evolving and adapting to new strategies and market demands.

Mark Cox and In the Funnel Sales Coaching: Building Expertise from the Ground Up

One of the key components of our training has been led by Mark Cox at In the Funnel Sales Coaching. Mark has a reputation for delivering world-class sales training that empowers teams to unlock their full potential. This dynamic program focuses on practical skills for driving results, building strong client relationships, and mastering negotiation tactics. By utilizing Mark’s coaching techniques, our sales team has gained invaluable insights that directly impact their effectiveness in the field, ultimately helping our clients see the return on their investment.

Offsite in Mexico: A Transformative Learning Experience

We also believe that hands-on, immersive experiences are vital to reinforcing training while building a culture that attracts and retains the best sales talent. That’s why we recently brought our full sales team to an offsite event in Cancun, Mexico, for a unique and productive retreat. This offsite event combined a theme of “Holding Our Piece” with specialized training and team-building activities designed for learning and growth. The result was a cohesive team that was aligned, energized, and ready to take on the challenges of the coming year. This retreat offered a platform to sharpen skills, reflect on successes, and develop new strategies—all while fostering collaboration among our talented team members.

The GOLD Program: Cultivating Top Performers

To further enhance the development of our sales team, we’ve relaunched another year of the GOLD Program, where top performers are recognized and elevated. Through the GOLD Program, our most promising salespeople undergo specialized training, receive personalized coaching, and participate in exclusive workshops. The goal is to elevate their performance to new heights, ensuring that they are fully prepared to drive results for our clients. This program reinforces our commitment to long-term excellence and demonstrates our dedication to developing leaders within the organization. Check out Tammy’s recent LinkedIn post congratulating our 2024 graduates and welcoming our 2025 participants!

Protecting Our Clients’ Investment

At the core of our training initiatives is a shared goal: to protect and grow our clients’ investment. By continuously enhancing the capabilities of our sales team, we ensure that we can deliver the highest level of service, exceed client expectations, and contribute to their ongoing success. Every training session, offsite event, and development program is designed with this goal in mind, reinforcing our commitment to being true partners in our clients’ growth.

As we continue to invest in the development of our team, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing unmatched service, achieving remarkable results, and protecting the investments of those who trust us with their business.

Here’s to a future of growth, excellence, and success—together!

Some of Our Clients

Proudly Serving Clients throughout US & Canada

Patti Barker

"As a management company with 4 smaller hotels in busy transient markets, we have struggled to keep our sales and marketing costs relative to the size of our hotel.  The cost and time invested in attracting, training, and retaining good salespeople with the current job climate can be not only daunting but frustrating with turnover.  With varying demand in the market, a sales manager needs to recognize when to take the business, and when to say no to it.  The right rate, at the right time! We have solved all these problems through turning this demanding role in 3 of our hotels over to Gillis Sales. Gillis is a trusted, credible partner who has supplied me with experienced professionals who know the fastest route to the business I need.  This has become our most effective resource, and I 100% recommend the Gillis solution to my colleagues."

Vice President of Hospitality / Metropolitan Hospitality Management

Preena Patel

We have the pleasure of working with Gillis Sales, and couldn’t be happier with the results. Their expertise in the hospitality industry, combined with their innovative sales strategies, have delivered exceptional revenue growth for our property. I highly recommend Gillis Sales to any hotel looking to boost their sales and increase their bottom line. Their commitment to excellence and personalized approach make them a valuable partner in the competitive world of hotel sales.

Administrative Director / A-1 Hospitality

Irwin M. Prince

"The math is simple: Gillis equals heads-in-beds! The sales pro's at Gillis have been instrumental in building occupancy at Motel 6 and Studio 6 hotels in Canada over the past several years.  Working collaboratively with owners and managers, Gillis takes the time required to find and convert prospects to guests.  Gillis provides a best-in-class solution for hotels that don't have a dedicated, well-trained sales team."

President & COO / Realstar Hospitality

Perry Batke

“We had the good fortune of engaging Gillis after years of managing our sales effort inhouse. They came highly recommended through brand leadership and seasoned sales professionals – and they haven’t disappointed. Despite only a few months into our relationship, they have had an immediate impact on our hotels and key account relationships. The Gillis team has already established themselves as one of our most valued and trusted advisors and partners. They have always displayed the professionalism, passion and accountability demanded by their profession. The Gillis team is well prepared, highly engaged and goal orientated. To this end, they have solidified accounts, delivered new bookings and helped to diversify our business drivers. As a result, they have earned the deep respect and trust of our organization. I would not hesitate to recommend Gillis for any organization that requires the highest levels of sales performance, execution and professionalism.”

CHA, General Manager / Denham Hospitality Organization

Hitesh Patel

“Tammy Gillis and her organization have been nothing short of amazing! We have seen an approximate ROI of 10x at our BW PLUS hotel as well as a ROI of 4-5x at our BW hotel. The sales team is so dedicated, passionate and driven to deliver revenue to hotels. I just wish we started sooner with Gillis!”
