Venue Sales Specialist

Walters Hospitality•Lago Vista, TX

2d•$80,000 - $100,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Walters Hospitality is in the business of helping people celebrate life's most momentous occasions. Across our growing portfolio of 45+ wedding and event venues and vendor services, we show up for customers at a moment that matters more than almost any other. The Venue Sales Specialist role is for salespeople with a real track record of closing deals and hitting targets. Here's what makes this different: you're not selling a product. You're helping couples at one of the most exciting moments of their lives. You're meeting them early in their journey with Walters, which means you set the tone for their sales experience and often influence one of the biggest decisions they'll make. You'll conduct tours that showcase our venues, build relationships with clients, understand what they need, and be the person who helps them book the place where they'll celebrate something huge. This is relationship-driven selling where your success is measured in closed deals, your earnings reflect your effort, and the work actually matters. The best performers in this role work hard during the times when couples are most engaged and ready to decide, especially evenings and weekends, because that's when the real opportunities are. And they do it as part of One Team. We want competitive salespeople who push themselves and each other to excel, but we also want people who collaborate, share wins, lift up their teammates, and believe that when one of us succeeds, we all succeed. If you have sales experience, you know how to close, you want to earn what you're worth, you're driven to win, and you genuinely want to be part of a tight-knit sales team, this is your role.
