New Resort in Canada Introduces Stellar Sales Team

    /24-7PressRelease/ - MINETT, ON, CANADA, September 17, 2008 - The group sales team of The Rosseau, A JW Marriott Resort in Canada is comprised of four people, with an "extended family" of dozens - no - hundreds of others. The Marriott sales organization has been recognized as the number one sales team in North America for 2007, by Sales Professional magazine. From the impressive Regional Sales Office in Mississauga to the global Enterprise Sales Team, there is a legion of Marriott sales professionals working as partners with their customers, to provide travel, conference and incentive solutions that will help make them successful.

The stellar sales team for The Rosseau, A JW Marriott Resort & Spa includes the following talented individuals:

Leah Leslie is a native of Muskoka, and is delighted to return to this beautiful region after many years away from home. Leah's career has taken her to luxury hotels and resorts all over North America, most recently as Director of Sales & Marketing for the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront. Leah's biggest problem in life is deciding which season she likes best in Muskoka - but fall and winter are in the lead.

Paula Jones hails from The Rosseau's sister hotel, the Toronto Marriott Downtown Eaton Centre. Paula was an integral part of the sales team there for more than a decade, focusing in recent years on meetings and conferences for Associations. Paula made many life-long friendships among her clients, due to the fact that she loves to listen even more than she likes to talk. This fall, you may see Paula hiking the trails of Red Leaves' 700-acre nature preserve with her faithful yellow lab.

Heather Jonasson is also a member of the Marriott Eaton Centre alumni. Heather has been working with brides, fundraising committees and families for much of her career, sometimes thinking the brides love Heather almost as much as they love their fianc s. With a long history in planning one-of-a-kind events, Heather is a true "foodie," wine connoisseur and at home, an avid gardener.

Jane Mark comes from a long line of outdoor adventurers. Her passion for Muskoka has resulted in the acquisition of several years' experience in group sales for luxury resorts. Jane has established a reputation among her customers; they know they can count on Jane to help them find exactly what they are looking for in a meeting or incentive destination. Jane can sometimes be spotted "bubble-watching" on a pontoon boat on one of the Muskoka lakes while she waits for her scuba-diving hubby to surface. On land, Jane loves to golf, especially now that The Rock Golf Course is open.
