The location of this hotel is great in popular tourist destination mainly busy in the Summer months but there is a great deal of competition, making the role of the sales team quite challenging.
The team is deflated and lacks faith in the hotel to perform or follow through on sales promises, and doubts your leadership as you are much younger and less experienced (as far as they know) than your predecessor.
Prepare a 5-minute introductory speech to motivate your team. You can use visuals but do not read from a script.
