MERRILLVILLE, Ind., Dec. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Corey Lozano, Cluster Director of Sales & Marketing at the Residence Inn by Marriott/Courtyard by Marriott in Lakewood, Colorado, has been recognized by his peers for his outstanding performance. At the Annual Holiday Awards Luncheon hosted by the Denver Chapter of the Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI), Lozano was named the 2011 Sales Leader of the Year.
When asked to comment on the honor, Lozano said, "I am excited to win this award. I could not have done it without the dedication of each of my team members as well as the support of the Denver/Lakewood community."
A White Lodging employee for the past seven years, Lozano has a history of community involvement. When he was with the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott in Denver he was involved with a local Chamber of Commerce promoting growth. He was also a member of Visit Denver, the city's convention and visitor's bureau where he helped bolster the city's convention business.
Since being at the Lakewood cluster, Lozano has developed a relationship with the West Metro Fire & Rescue Foundation. Through a mutual agreement, a portion of room revenue generated at the Residence Inn by Marriott or the Courtyard by Marriott will be donated to support the foundation's efforts.
When Lozano assumed his current duties, he found new ways to improve market share for the properties and has helped his team develop critical thinking skills to build relationships and grow the bottom line. "Corey's tenacity is what makes him special," said General Manager Chris Dougherty. "Through his creativity and ability to connect with his team members, he has had success in tough markets in tough time, and he is adept at building solid community relations."
