Marketing Representative

I started in marketing. Cold stops asking people around the Dells if they would like to tour Christmas Mountain Village as a thank you for their time i would save them money on attractions around the Wisconsin Dells.

After this department closed I went to the sales floor. I was in sales for almost three years. I would greet guest and show them how owning their vacation vs renting their vacation would save them money and have them in nicer accommodations. I would show them around the property and inside of a few of our units.

I did go back to marketing for another four years. Now I check guest in that came from other marketing sources and get them ready for their vacation. Suggesting things to do around the Dells and places to eat. Give directions on where they are staying and where their presentation is at. We sell attractions tickets on top of the gifting they get for staying with us
