The Road Warrior Meeting Planner is the alter ego (with more hair); of Dirk Smith, President of the Sports Destination Network, Inc. His 3rd Party Meeting Planning company represents organizations such as adidas, Reebok, BSN Sports, TaylorMade Golf, Rawlings, Rockport, and Mizuno. Many Pharmaceutical companies, computer software entities (Google, You Tube) entities, and even high profile non-profits (Alice Cooper's foundation, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Miracles for Kids) utilize his services. He authors The Road Warrior Newsletter bi-monthly for clients, doling timely and helpful Travel Tips, accompanied by unique and entertaining (dare we say hilarious?) travel-related pictorials.

He has been summoned to guest-speak at a number of hotel sales manager gatherings and despite the copious amounts of alcohol that are often synonymous with these functions, he has managed to coherently convey his perspective. :) For more info on his seminars click here.

He has created this web site designed exclusively for the profession of Hotel Sales. Herein, you'll find many of the aforementioned tidbits and photos, but also content that specifically identifies helpful sales techniques. The latter were gleaned from the best efforts he's encountered from among the sales managers that have captured his 300+ annual meetings. (note: after this page I'll try to stop talking about myself in the third person).
