I am director of sales for a hotel. Most times I am tucked away in my office while my sales team handles the booking of the banquet rooms and group blocks. Both sales agents were busy when a potential customer came in to the lobby asking for information.
The front desk clerk buzzed back to my office and asked me if I was free to come out and give some assistance with booking a banquet room. I was pleasantly surprised when I came out to the lobby.
There he was around 6'2", dark hair and a neatly trimmed goatee. A neatly pressed button up and snug fitting jeans. Shaking his hand I introduced myself and showed him down the hall towards our banquet rooms.
Stepping into our larger room with the small dance floor, I began to ask my basic sales questions. "What type of even was he having?" "A birthday party."
"How many guests would be attending?" "Possibly 100 people."
"Would there be music and or food?" "Yes, both food and a DJ."
"We could provide both tables and chairs, setting up the room to your specifications." He said, "I won't need 100 chairs. Maybe just 50 scattered through out the room and some high rise tables if possible and also two larger tables for the food and gifts."
After walking around the room I told him "This room should be the perfect size for your event." His eyes locked onto mine. He just stood there quietly. I responded with a shy smile as I nervously straightened my skirt.
He smiled then walked toward the door. "Could I get back with you on the dates and other specifics?" "Ofcourse," then I asked "Would you like a quote on the price of the room?"
He smiled and said "No, money is no object. I am VERY pleased with what I have seen so far", emphasizing the word very.
I nervously cleared my throat as I opened the door. "If you will please follow me back to my office I will get you one of my business cards." He quickly replied, "Gladly."
He stopped in my office door way. As I leaned down to get one of my cards I heard him clear his throat. I smiled as I momentarily held my pose. I turned around to a very sexy smile. I was speechless. I have been in this business for a good while now. No one has ever had this effect on me. After taking my card from me he shook my hand again. Slowly releasing my hand he said "I look forward to seeing you again."
As he turned to walk away I remembered he never gave me his name. So to his back I loudly asked "Could please get your name sir?" He looked back over his shoulder with a grin, "Connor."
