TESTIMONIALS

“One of Kelly’s most valuable contributions was the hands-on sales training she delivered to the team. She built a fully customized two-day program, “Consultative Selling Foundations for Hotels and
Advanced Hotel Sales & Prospecting”, designed specifically for The Drake. It was a standout training session that set a new standard for what impactful sales development can look like in a boutique hotel setting. Each module was carefully tailored to our unique environment, with clear, actionable lessons on how to sell with empathy and true commercial strategy. 

The training reinforced that effective selling is rooted in consultative techniques, storytelling, and confidence, empowering the team to hold rate rather than rely on discounting. 

Her immersive use of role plays, and multimedia examples made the content come alive for the team and allowed them to practice skills in a way that immediately built that confidence for them. 

Further, the training was both tactical and transformational. From the basics of prospecting and qualifying, to deeper techniques like getting to the root of a client’s needs, providing tailored solutions, overcoming objections, and closing effectively, Kelly delivered it all in a way that was empowering, energizing, and easy to retain. The feedback from the team was overwhelmingly positive, and it is clear that the lessons she shared will continue to drive performance well beyond her time with us.”  

- Aileen Heatherington, General Manager, The Drake Hotel Toronto

“One of the most valuable aspects of Kelly’s time with us was the consistent, hands-on mentorship she provided. She took time every day to coach me through real-world opportunities, using active client leads, proposals, and business challenges as a foundation for learning. Through that work, I developed a more refined understanding of consultative selling, pricing strategy, pace reporting, and how to structure client conversations in a way that leads to stronger outcomes.

She helped me sharpen my ability to close business without relying on rate reductions and taught me how to lead with confidence, clarity, and a more strategic commercial mindset.

Kelly also helped me level up my leadership capabilities. She showed me how to guide internal sales conversations, manage client objections with calm and empathy, and shift my thinking from task execution to high-impact prioritization. Her approach to leadership was never about theory. It was always practical, grounded, and tailored to our hotel’s unique positioning and goals. I came away from our time together with a stronger grasp of data-informed decision making, strategic planning, and relationship management that will continue to serve me well in this role and beyond.

Working alongside Kelly was an energizing and career-shaping experience. She made herself available whenever I needed support, challenged me to think bigger, and provided thoughtful feedback every step of the way. Her mentorship helped shape me into a more confident Director of Sales and gave our team the structure, strategy, and inspiration we needed to perform at a higher level. The impact of her time with us will be felt long after her contract ends, in our culture, our confidence, and our financial and commercial success.

I would strongly recommend Kelly’s mentorship to any hotel sales professional or team serious about accelerating their growth, strengthening their strategy, and driving meaningful commercial results.”

- Alana Zucker, Director of Sales, The Drake Hotel Toronto

“Kelly was my leader as the Director of Sales & Marketing while at 1 Hotel Toronto. She has been a tremendous mentor throughout my career at 1 Hotel and beyond. Her patience, guidance and support gave me the confidence to perform my role, and her trust allowed me to go above and beyond and grow. Kelly's open door policy as a leader allowed me to consistently learn and absorb the knowledge she has in her field. She encouraged questions, and asked thought provoking questions rather than giving answers.

Through adaptability and resourcefulness, Kelly was able to lead a successful team that consistently exceeded their targets, by strategic coaching that suited everyone's different learning style. Kelly's professionalism, calm and welcoming demeanor, and true care for her team members makes her an excellent leader.”
