CEO Tammy Gillis Named Finalist For Women In Sales Award

by | Apr 29, 2021

Woman-owned business founder and CEO of Gillis nominated for Professional Services Sales award

Gillis, a consulting, training and sales performance partner organization for hoteliers, announced today that its CEO and founder, Tammy Gillis, was selected as a finalist in the Women in Sales Awards “Professional Services Sales” category. The Women in Sales Awards is a prestigious award that celebrates the achievements of women in sales in North America. Finalists will present to a panel of judges on May 12, 2021 and winners will be announced on June 17, 2021.

Under the leadership of Tammy Gillis, Gillis disrupted the traditional hotel sales model in 2013 and launched a full service, turnkey, virtual sales team with employees based across North America.

  • Elevating the sales profession – Gillis identified a gap in how salespeople were being onboarded into the industry and felt they were not being set up for success. This resulted in an ongoing high turnover rate in sales. To date, Gillis has trained thousands of sales professionals, hotel owners, general managers, and front-line associates. The company works with major brands across the country.
  • Visionary, innovator and professional speaker – As a sales performance expert and professional speaker, Gillis is well known in the hospitality community. Her most requested presentations include Selling Without a Sales Team and Selling to the Modern Buyer. As a visionary, innovator and trainer, she provides a practical and genuine approach. Her presentations and workshops have been well received by the attendees of: Best Western Hotels and Resorts, Choice Hotels International, GBTA, Hotel Association of Canada (HAC), AAHOA and Coast Hotels.
  • Disrupted the traditional sales model – Gillis launched its Dynamic Sales Solution (DSS) to provide all hotels with access to sales support regardless of their size or location. This approach allows hotels to sell like a full-service property without having to spend like a full-service property.

Tammy Gillis, CEO, Gillis, said: “I am honored to have been selected as a finalist for this prestigious award, however, our company wouldn’t be where it is today without the incredible group of women and men I work with. Our success is because of their dedication and the passion they show our clients and team members every day.”

Client Experiences

"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."
Patti Barker -

Vice President of Hospitality, Metropolitan Hospitality Management
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.

"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."

“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.”

“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!”
