Hey there, fabulous readers! Gather ’round for a tale that’s equal parts business and bliss. Picture this: a sunny September afternoon, the scent of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air, and a slice of bread pudding that might just change your life. But this ain’t just any coffee shop rendezvous – it’s the meet-up I’ve been waiting for, the day I got to sip an iced chai latte with none other than Kim Daino, my Sandals Resort BDM extraordinaire.
Kim chose For Fives Coffee Shop in the heart of Garden City as our meetup location. The lush surroundings and perfect weather set the stage for a great meeting. I ordered an iced chai latte with oat milk and a slice of bread pudding.
So, you might be wondering why I decided to sit down with Kim. Well, my friends, this was an introductory pow-wow to connect, a chance for me to delve into the world of Sandals & Beaches resorts. And for Kim it was a way for her to understand my business goals and help me strategize how to be successful with selling this iconic brand. Basically we wanted to figure out how to make magic together.
Now, let’s spill the tea on what went down. Kim dished out some juicy details about the new resort opening – Sandals St. Vincent. Imagine more modern Sandals, and guess what? I learned why you won’t find a Sandals in Mexico or the Dominican Republic. Intriguing, right?As I sipped my iced chai latte and indulged in that divine bread pudding, we set some lofty sales goals for 2024 (for me to reach the coveted CRC, I need to sell a whopping 100 rooms.) Challenge accepted!But the perks didn’t stop there. Kim’s connecting me with Sandals’ VIPs for top-notch training and resources. Talk about leveling up my game! And did I mention the weather was on our side that day? Perfectly sunny, just like our meeting.
In a nutshell, meeting with Kim was a game-changer. She’s a treasure trove of knowledge, and I left armed with insider tips to craft unforgettable Sandals experiences for my clients.
