MAYSVILLE, W.Va. - iSportsWire -- Jolene Downs, Director of Sales at the Hilton Garden Inn Morgantown, achieved her goal of exceeding 1 million dollars in sales this year. This is an outstanding accomplishment.

Downs has worked in the hospitality industry for over 14 years. In 2018, she worked for a Marriott property and received the Sales Leader of the Year award from the managing company of that property. In addition, Downs was nominated as Marriott Sales Leader of the Year. In 2020, Jolene started working for Hilton Garden Inn Morgantown as the Director of Sales. By exceeding her million dollar goal, she has shared her knowledge and sales tactic with Hilton Brand Support to help other Hilton sales leaders achieve their objectives.

In June of 2022, Jolene set an aggressive goal of $1 million dollars over the current budgeted goal. The whole Hilton Garden Inn Morgantown team and the corporate office, Taylor Hospitality, joined in on the excitement of Jolene hitting her goal.

"One of my sales mentors taught me the importance of stretching goals. We always had our goals that corporate would set for us, but then we wanted to achieve our own goals we set for ourselves. Being able to reach for the stars is something that I have practiced ever since," stated Jolene. "This whole experience has allowed the entire team to work and achieve this together."
