TIME FOR A CHANGE?

During the last 15 years 21st Century Group has established itself as a pre-eminent company specializing in hotel site selection and other assorted group related marketing activities. This has been accomplished with a lot of hard work, some very good people and an extremely well qualified customer database.  In recent years, a number of trends emerged allowing for an expansion of our business. 

1. The global economic expansion of recent years now allows many organizations to consider destinations in all parts of the world and many of our clients are asking for assistance in those locations - especially those with which they are not familiar.

2. As a result of today's economy and with today's technology organizations of all types have reassigned or reallocated their meeting planning resources.  As a result, many of these of these organizations are now outsourcing hotel site selection duties as well as other meeting planning related activities.  Organizations have seen the benefits of outsourcing to companies such as ours and our business continues to grow.

3.  Hotels and resorts in just about every destination have seen their business increase.  Properties are being built at a rapid pace throughout the world and all of them want to tap into the U.S. market.  Many of these properties have no name recognition in the U.S.  In order to meet their goals, they are exploring new ways to gain market share and have increasingly turned to outside companies for assistance.  They are very receptive to working with site selection companies for a variety of reasons.

4.  It no longer matters where you are located.  Technology has virtually eliminated all barriers that previously dictated where you had to live to conduct business.  For example, as recently as last year - from Hawaii, we secured space in Cologne, Germany for a New York based client.  In 2002, 21st Century Group was named Runner-Up in the Cisco Systems "Growing with Technology Awards" for using networking technology to grow our business beyond our borders (Cisco Press Release) In 2005, the company was profiled on Smart Money magazine's web site (Smart Money).

5.  More and more people are choosing to change their career paths because of long working hours, lengthy commutes, family commitments, need for more income, control of their own destiny and a desire to capitalize on relationships that have been built over the years.

6.  Today the company has offices in seven locations, including Hawaii.  Our goal is to have representatives in metropolitan areas and meeting destinations throughout the world. 

 

THE OPPORTUNITY

21st Century Group is actively seeking representatives to sell our hotel site selection services.   These representatives will be independent contractors working under the 21st Century Group banner.  Location is not an issue - you can live anywhere.  The only requirements are that you are self-motivated, can work without direct supervision and are interested in making money.  A working knowledge of the hotel / meetings / travel industry is a big plus but not essential.  If you have experience in hotel sales or meeting planning this position allows you to remain in the industry on your own terms.  If you have established industry relationships, this is a golden opportunity for you to make the most of them.  Compensation is totally based on commission and there is NO LIMIT to the amount you can earn.  Commission amounts vary and are based on the size of the meetings booked. If you have been thinking about re-prioritizing your life, why not do it under the banner of an established company with a proven track record?
