An ambitious, commercially driven Studio Booker who owns studio sales  will be responsible for filling the studios: winning new business, converting enquiries and options into confirmed bookings, and growing revenue from every client relationship. While client care and studio operations are central, commercial drive is key and it is an essential component to this role - you will treat the booking diary as your pipeline and occupancy as your key benchmark, taking personal accountability for hitting revenue and utilisation targets.
