Staff Spotlight: Melissa Mosley

Lissa Mosley is an Innkeeper Support Specialist. Her constant smile and can-do attitude are just a couple of the reasons innkeepers enjoy speaking with her.

Lissa enjoys the friendly and relaxed atmosphere at BedandBreakfast.com. “Our different membership levels allow innkeepers to tailor their listing to their needs and get exactly what they want; those elements combine to make my job fun."   

"Innkeepers are very welcoming and giving," Lissa says. "If I visited all the innkeepers who have invited me, I would never be at work."

In her spare time, Lissa enjoys reading, eating sushi, and playing with her 6-year-old daughter.

P.S. Did you know that BedandBreakfast.com Support Specialists are pleased to consult with you on your listing? Call today to make the most of your marketing dollars.
