A Sales manager · Toronto

“I’m sales manager at Career Sightseeing Tours in Toronto, started four years ago after landing here from Gujarat—saw an ad for the job while job-hunting, liked talking to groups from my old travel agency days back home, got a quick sales cert online and jumped in selling bus tours of CN Tower views and Niagara day trips. Now lead a team of five, book corporate groups and families via email and phone, hit targets for 200 tickets a week, deal with cancellations or weather changes; pays for my Mississauga condo mortgage, grocery runs, and Jays games, feels steady with commissions adding up nicely. Just closing deals and keeping tours full, day by day.”
