“Yesterday was a special day. It started out like any regular one but then shortly after arriving at the hotel I was presented with the Sales Leader of the Year for the Residence Inn by Marriott brand worldwide!! I was shocked, surprised and a little teary all at once. It is special to be recognized for selling this wonderful hotel to my clients. I am grateful to sell our hotel to the markets that I am so genuinely interested in (film, entertainment, sports, Indigenous and more). Thank you for this award!!!” wrote Logan in a LinkedIn post.
