"George, you were my first sales director, a great teacher and mentor to me. You helped me establish the foundation of my current work ethic, disciplined me, polished my rough edges, and prepared me for the professional world of Hotel group sales. After fifteen years as a Hotel Sales Director, I "retired" to a public servant position - Convention Sales Manager with Virginia Beach Convention Bureau. I’m now the TOP producing sales manager, exceeding my FY 07/08 goal of 36,500 rooms by 202%!! 56% of that business is "New business" for Virginia Beach. See, your constant badgering in our weekly sales meetings of 'Show me the NEW business'...sure rubbed off on me!"
Linda Eisan CHSP, Convention Sales Mgr. with the Virginia Beach Convention Bureau
"I've had the responsibility of training/influencing hundreds of hotel salespeople over the years...and George is the example I use when I am trying to convey persistence - doing "whatever it takes" to get the business. While we were working together opening a hotel in Virginia Beach in the early 80's, he found a way to get information from various Union offices (all over the country) concerning arrivals of their workers coming in to the nearby Norfolk Naval Station Shipyards. When he couldn't get it set up beforehand, he would literally wait at the airport's arrival gates with a sign, a smile, and a pitch for them to hop in the hotel van and he'd "take care of the rest". Bottom line...thousands of room nights we desperately needed!"

"George VonAllmen worked at the Hilton Phoenix East/Mesa from Jan. 5, 2009 to Jan. 30, 2009 on a consulting basis. He oversaw all aspects of the sales department during that time. George is a bright and personable individual. He is highly self-motivated and well capable of acheiving any goal he sets his mind to. In a short period of time George became a respected part of the management staff. He has vast sales knowledge and can become a great resource to any company. Thanks for assisting us George!"
