WHAT WE DO & HOW WE DO IT

Consider this approach:
Once you are given the assignment to plan your next meeting, and you find yourself struggling to find the time to take care of all the details on top of everything else you are doing…
      • We schedule a convenient time to discuss the details.
      • We develop the hotel RFP highlighting what is most important to you and the success of your meeting.
      • We distribute the RFP to the many properties we have developed a close relationship with, and that fit your program best.
      • We collect all hotel responses and organize the information saving your countless hours and aggravation.
      • We put together an easy to read grid of the available properties to include rates and concessions and location details.
      • We negotiate the best contract terms on your behalf using our strong relationships and experience specific to your needs and budget.
This leaves you with valuable time to focus on the important meeting content and other items that you and your internal team can handle, if you so choose.  We certainly provide other management services as well, so you can use us just for site selection, or request further assistance as needed. It is up to you to manage how involved or behind the scenes we are.  You don’t have to stalk hotels for their proposals, nor do you have to field the annoying calls from sales people with questions.  You tell us once and we handle it all.  Best part… our service is FREE to you. Our collective buying strength enables you to benefit as an individual.
