The Staff Pad | Texas-Based | Travel Required

The Staff Pad is partnering with a growing organization in the travel and hospitality space to hire a

relationship-driven sales professional

focused on building partnerships with travel agencies, advisors, and key booking channels.

This is not a traditional “cold calling” sales role.

This is a

high-touch, relationship-first position

focused on influencing where travel advisors send their business.

Own and grow a defined territory across Texas and surrounding markets

Build relationships with

travel agencies, advisors, and consortia partners

Partner with agency leaders to increase visibility and production

Analyze performance and identify opportunities to grow market share

Manage activity and pipeline within CRM

This role is centered around

partner engagement, relationship building, and long-term revenue growth

—not transactional sales.

What We’re Looking For 3–7+ years of experience in:

Travel industry sales

Agency/consortia partnerships

Experience working with:

Hospitality brands or hotel groups

Strong relationship builder—someone who can influence without direct authority

Comfortable presenting to groups and leading trainings

Highly self-motivated with the ability to manage a territory independently

Willingness to travel regularly (this is a field-based role)

What Success Looks Like

Increased partner engagement and visibility across your territory

Growth in bookings and revenue from agency channels

Strong, long‑term relationships with key travel partners

Consistent presence in-market through meetings, events, and trainings

Why This Role

High‑impact, visible position with autonomy

Relationship‑driven (not grindy sales)

Opportunity to own a territory and build something long‑term

Strong alignment with candidates from

hotel sales, travel, or hospitality backgrounds
