FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Diego, CA & Boulder, CO — November 3, 2025 — Benchmark Global Sales, the powerhouse behind group business for Benchmark Resorts & Hotels, has partnered with Lure Agency to level up sales performance across its independent portfolio with one clear goal: drive more direct group revenue.
As group business rebounds and competition stiffens, Benchmark Global Sales is doubling down on modern sales strategies to help its properties outperform branded competitors without sacrificing identity or experience. The partnership with Lure Agency is focused on amplifying direct lead flow, increasing qualified conversions, and boosting profitability across the portfolio.
“Our sales teams aren’t just booking meetings, they’re building bottom lines,” said John MacMullen, Senior Director of Business Development at Benchmark Global Sales. “This partnership with Lure enhances our ability to deliver high-value results for owners, operators, and planners alike. It’s a win for everyone.”
Lure Agency brings its proven WINS Method™—a data-driven, conversion-focused approach that helps hospitality brands increase visibility, trust, and direct revenue. But in this partnership, the spotlight stays firmly on Benchmark’s sales teams: supporting their efforts with scalable marketing systems and strategic content designed to fuel real revenue results.
“Benchmark is doing more than filling calendars; they’re helping properties secure long-term management value by consistently driving group business,” said Cory Falter, Partner and CEO at Lure Agency. “We’re here to back them up with the tools and tactics that keep that pipeline warm and the bottom line growing.”
