BD/Sales Manager | Onboard hotels onto the Hotelzify ecosystem
Location: Hybrid (Bangalore)
Hotelzify is a direct booking platform for hotels to help guest book directly with them with the help of our no code website builder, AI Marketing automation tool and AI Front Desk Sales Agent. The idea is to help hotels get more bookings at a lower cost than traditional platforms like Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Agoda which take 20% of the booking value. We raised 500K USD in April 23 and are currently profitable with over 300K USD left in the bank. Currently, over 12000 hotels in 7 countries use our technology with OYO, Club Mahindra, Fern Hotels and Sterling Resorts being some of our bigger clients.
