STS Member Spotlight
Paige Keith, TMP
Group Sales & Services Manager
Visit Jackson TN
What is your role and what inspired you to take it on?

My main role, as Group Sales and Services Manager, is to get those big fun buses full of people, into Jackson, TN. But if we are just being honest, I want to see all the people driving Interstate 40 between Nashville and Memphis, or traveling Highways 45 and 70, stopping and visiting with us!  The inspiration for me taking on this position, is my mom, she instilled in me the importance of travel and to realize there is more to see and experience in life than just the place you were raised.  Read More.
What year did you graduate Marketing College? What’s something you learned that you use in your day to day job?

I finished Marketing College in 2015. In my first class with Judy Randall I was the only person standing when she asked everyone who worked in Sales to sit down. I learned that I do indeed work in sales and I sell my state every day! Read More.
