About this listen
In this episode of Alumni Voices, I talk with Jeanne Hizon, Director of Sales at the Kimpton Hotel Enso in San Francisco. Jeanne shares how curiosity, relationship-building, and adaptability helped her turn early frontline jobs into a thriving career in hotel sales — and why networking remains her superpower.
📌 Key Takeaways:•
- Curiosity opens doors – Jeanne’s journey began by simply asking hotel guests how they got into the business.
- Learning by doing builds confidence – Working in hospitality while studying at SFSU let her immediately apply what she was learning in class.
- Sales needs a spotlight – She reminds students that sales is a powerful, people-driven path within hospitality often overlooked in internships.
- Tech can’t replace human connection – Tools like Amadeus and Salesforce help, but empathy and authentic service define success.
- Networking never stops – Jeanne believes staying connected and giving back are the keys to long-term career growth.
