“The hotel SystemsPro team understands that an effective hotel sales process is the foundation of success for nearly every hotel in the world.  Our company wants to honor the award-winning sales professionals recognized by their hotel companies for outstanding achievement,” said Edie Chandler Lowe, vice president of hotel SystemsPro.
