I was very fortunate in meeting Allen Weiss over two years ago. From Day one, Allen surprised me with his strong motivation in promoting hotels and his wish in joining our team. At the start, I thought OMG, what an energy but what is behind it ? I can tell you that he is not only having a full energy but also a strong motivation is reaching the client's & hotel's satisfaction. Allen is a hard worker, always positive despite all odds, and was a master piece in our group sales organisation. Covid19 changed our entire setup but I would not hesitate one single second before taking Allen back. He was a great asset for our Company and currently missed

Allen is one of the top sales relationships I have had in the industry. He is relationship driven, he is patient and most of all he is extremely attentive. Allen is well educated he speaks with sophistication and I never hesitated to put him in front of a client to help close business. He is well travelled and always knew the properties and destinations he was selling. Most importantly he works on the premise of partnership which is very hard to find in todays business world. Allen is an asset.

Allen is a trustworthy, energetic, and engaged business partner. In the many times I sat down with Allen to discuss the partnership of our two companies in the hospitality field, he always asked two questions 1) how he could help improve our business and 2) what's most important to our team / company. Allen operates from the point of view of being fully client-focused. He is seeks solutions, is always upbeat, and is generous with his time and knowledge of the hospitality industry. I have so enjoyed working with him over the past two years.
Amy Clark: Managing Director at HelmsBriscoe
Allen is a great asset for those with the opportunity to work with him. He gets things done with great enthusiasm and is always upbeat with high energy. Most recently, he served in the capacity of representing a global hotel brand and was a tremendous resource to organizations needing a quick and thorough response for time sensitive requests. In this day and age, it is all about speed and Allen is both quick, efficient and thorough.
Jim Stanton: Regional Vice President, HelmsBriscoe
I've had the opportunity to work with Allen on quite a few hotel proposals. Allen has always been willing to go the extra mile and get answers when needed. He was instrumental in coordinating and pulling together a large program that took place in Croatia in 2017. He has always been willing to share his industry knowledge and I would welcome the opportunity to work with Allen again in the future.

I worked with Allen while he was with Carlson Rezidor on several international bookings. They were complex and required a lot of special attention. Of the five room blocks I placed for this particular client, four ended up going to Carlson Rezidor hotels and I can confidently say that Allen’s efforts were a big reason why. He was attentive to our needs, persistent and persuasive with his hotels, hardworking in pursuit of the business, and overall was a solid advocate for my client and ConferenceDirect. Top class!

“I am writing this letter to recommend my former colleague and friend, Allen Weiss, as a sales representative for any company looking to get immediate ROI. Allen was a key component in helping Warwick Allerton Chicago, where I was the former DOSM for two years, transition in between sales managers. During his task force project he had perhaps the best sales record of anyone on the team. He's a diligent worker and a very capable salesman, and I'm sure he'll be as successful an asset at any hotel looking for immediate results. Allen was tasked with meeting specific sales goals, soliciting and making sales contacts. He was able to forge some excellent customer relationships and facilitate sales that other our previous sales managers simply couldn't. Allen was one of the hardest workers, doing whatever it took to drive business and solidify long lasting relationships for the hotel. Sales requires a natural skill in dealing with people and knowing the right thing to say, and this was perhaps where Allen set himself apart the most. Clients simply loved him, and he was able to connect with them in a meaningful way. He also played an integral role in training and mentoring the sales managers on my team. His skills, and the results he achieved, make it easy for me to provide the highest recommendation. If I was ever in a position to need a sales project manager again, I would not hesitate to contact Allen Weiss. I have since left the Warwick Allerton Chicago and am now the Director of Sales & Marketing at the Hilton Chicago | Magnificent Mile Suites. Although we no longer work together in a professional capacity, Allen has become one of my closest friends and most trusted industry colleagues.”
