Worldwide Sales Strategy

Worldwide Sales Strategy, comprised of the Sales and Distribution Strategy groups, is responsible for the majority of the key revenue-generating initiatives targeted for the present and beyond.

The Sales Strategy group is responsible for designing all components that impact our ability to sell in the business-to-business marketplace, including both corporate and Travel Management Company (TMC) customers.

The Distribution Strategy group uses a wider scope to determine how we can sell to both business and leisure customers more effectively and efficiently while utilizing all distribution channels.

Both groups act as internal consultants to various organizations, leveraging sophisticated modeling techniques and analytical thinking to drive fact-based decisions and strategies.

Typical Worldwide Sales Strategy projects include:

  • Business-to-business customer segmentation studies and targeted value proposition strategies
  • Incentive program design and structure for corporations, TMCs, and the sales force
  • Strategic account negotiations and economics modeling

Many of these projects involve interacting with senior leadership to present findings and recommendations that help guide our senior leaders in key business decisions. The majority of these projects require coordination with multiple areas of the company, particularly Revenue Management, Finance, Marketing and Accounting.

Worldwide Sales Strategy acts as the "change agent" within the Sales organization while consulting on various projects within the division.

We seek individuals with strong strategic, analytical and communication skills who are interested in a project-based role that blends both traditional marketing and finance functions.

I've had a chance
to work on exciting projects that have touched nearly all aspects of what I learned at Wharton. These projects have translated into bottom-line impact to the company and are on the agenda of United's senior leadership. The levels of exposure to senior leaders- and the respect these leaders have for our group-is tremendous. Having come from a strategy consulting environment, working on strategy-consulting- like projects without the travel requirements of consulting firms is a plus. The unlimited personal travel benefits are great, too -I find myself visiting friends in Los Angeles almost every weekend!
