About Shubh Banquets & Convention Centre
Shubh Banquets & Convention Centre is a standalone banquet and convention venue located at Sector 13, Rajiv Nagar, Atul Kataria Marg, Gurugram. The venue accommodates up to 1,000 guests, offers in-house multi-cuisine catering, dedicated parking for 100–150 vehicles and adjoining guest rooms. We host weddings, receptions, sangeet and mehendi functions, corporate conferences, annual days, town halls, product launches, exhibitions and social celebrations.
We are a standalone venue, not a hotel banquet. Here, the sales function is owned by one person who works directly with the promoters — the results are visible, attributable and rewarded.
About the Role
We are hiring a Banquet Sales Manager to own and grow the venue's sales.
The venue already receives walk-in enquiries and repeat family bookings. This role exists to build business beyond that baseline — by acquiring corporate clients, converting online and portal enquiries into confirmed bookings, and developing relationships with wedding planners and event agencies.
This is an on-site role based at the venue in Gurugram. Open to male and female candidates.
Key Responsibilities
Business Development
- Acquire corporate clients across Gurugram — Udyog Vihar, Cyber City, Golf Course Road, Sohna Road, Manesar and IMT — for conferences, annual days, dealer meets, offsites, product launches, award nights and year-end parties.
- Build and maintain a network of wedding planners, event agencies, decorators and vendors that generates recurring business.
- Drive weekday and off-season (April–September) bookings rather than relying only on the peak wedding calendar.
Online & Portal Lead Conversion
- Own all inbound enquiries from WedMeGood, VenueLook, VenueMonk, Justdial, Google Business Profile, the venue website, WhatsApp Business and social media.
- Respond to enquiries quickly and follow up systematically — most banquet bookings close on the third or later touch.
- Convert online conversations into physical site visits, which is where banquet bookings are actually won.
- Keep venue listings, photographs, packages, pricing and reviews current across all portals.
Closing & Handover
- Conduct venue walkthroughs, understand client requirements, prepare tailored proposals and negotiate rates while protecting venue margins.
- Manage date blocking, advance collection, booking confirmation and contract documentation.
- Hand over every confirmed booking to the operations team with complete details — menu, guest count, timings, décor plan and special instructions.
- Be present at the venue during your clients' functions to ensure the experience matches what was sold.
Client Retention & Reporting
- Collect final payments, conduct post-event feedback, and convert satisfied clients into reviews, referrals and repeat bookings.
- Maintain a weekly sales report covering enquiries received, source-wise breakup, site visits conducted, bookings confirmed, revenue booked and pipeline value.
Compensation
We publish our pay structure openly because we would rather answer questions now than have someone join and feel misled.
- Fixed salary: ₹30,000 – ₹45,000 per month, based on experience
- Revenue commission: Each month carries a revenue target set at last year's same-month revenue plus 10%. Beat the target and you earn 0.5% of the venue's total sales for that month — not only the events you personally booked. There is no upper limit.
- KRA bonus: ₹5,000 per month, released on a five-point monthly scorecard covering enquiry response time, site visits conducted, new accounts opened, payment collections and client complaints.
- Realistic total earning: ₹42,000 to ₹65,000 per month (₹5.0 – ₹7.8 lakh per annum), with commission uncapped.
All 12 monthly targets, your commission rate and your KRA scorecard are given to you in writing on day one. Nothing is discretionary.
Working Schedule — Please Read Before Applying
- 6 days a week, with the weekly off on Tuesday
- Saturday and Sunday are working days — these are our busiest days for site visits and functions
- You must be present at the venue whenever a function is running, and remain until the function concludes
- Long hours during peak wedding season (October–March) and on festivals and auspicious dates
- Compensatory time off is provided during genuinely lean periods
This is a banquet. The business runs when other people are celebrating. Please be clear about this before applying.
Qualifications
Required
- 2–3 years of sales experience in banquet, hotel, event, catering or hospitality sales
- Experience at a standalone banquet, convention centre, wedding venue or party lawn is strongly preferred; hotel banquet sales backgrounds are also welcome
- Working knowledge of the Delhi-NCR banquet market — per-plate economics, seasonality, planner networks and how corporate event budgets get approved
- Fluent Hindi and English, in person and on the phone
- Comfortable with WhatsApp Business, Excel or Google Sheets, and portal dashboards
- Presentable, disciplined and confident in client-facing situations
- Based in Gurugram or willing to relocate
Preferred
- Existing corporate contacts in Gurugram, or an active planner and agency network in Delhi-NCR
- Exposure to both wedding and corporate/MICE segments
- Hotel Management or hospitality qualification — helpful but not mandatory; track record matters more
Why Join Us
- Transparent pay — you know your target, your commission rate and your KRAs before you join
- Direct access to the promoters, with fast decisions on pricing and packages
- Full ownership of the sales function, not a support role within a large team
- An established venue with in-house catering, existing baseline business and an operations team already in place
