Why not create a fruit infused water bar? Gourmet Water Stations: Elevate the Attendee Experience\" width=\"410\" height=\"272\" /></span></h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">I recently saw a coaster that read, ‘I can’t drink eight glasses of water a day, but I can drink eight glasses of wine a day, no problem.’ The sentiment made me laugh out loud. I’m happy to say that I have finally conquered the ‘eight glasses of water a day’ mountain and most days consume 10 or twelve.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">My secret? Gourmet water. Not the expensive, store-bought water with electrolytes or artificial flavors. Gourmet water that I make in my kitchen. It has quickly turned from habit into hobby as the flavor combinations are endless. I now customize my water in synch with the way my day is scheduled. I feel better, my skin is clearer and no matter what else happens to my well-intentioned food plan during the day, I know I did one healthy thing for myself.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A pitcher of spa-reminiscent cucumber basil water is on the menu when I have challenging calls or an intense project to complete. On days after a late night of meetings, I wake up to a pineapple orange medley. The citrus is not only pretty to look at, the flavors give me a subtle boost every time I sip.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Last summer, strawberry, basil lime water was my first choice. The crisp, sweet and zippy combination boosted my energy and made me think of the frosty drink awaiting me at the end of the work week. On days I want a bit more of a savory taste, grapefruit and rosemary get me through the day.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">While onsite, I lamented that I was back to ‘boring old water,’ and then it hit me. Why not incorporate a ‘gourmet water’ buffet so everyone can mix and match and make their own water concoction? From there, it was all creativity, fun and happy discoveries as attendees created their own flavor profiles. For those who didn’t want to build their own, we had premade, labeled flavors that we rotated each day. We saved on expensive bottled water, reduced our carbon footprint and found a new way to colorfully present the most basic of menu items.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">I can only hope the idea inspired some to continue the practice when they got home. As for me, it’s all about the water during the week but on weekends, it’s still fun to add wine to the menu! These are some of our favorite water flavor profiles, and combinations that have health benefits.</span>[vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1510594217084{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\"]\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lemon, Lime, and Orange</span></h3>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Blueberry, Strawberry, and Lemon</span></h3>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Strawberry and Cucumber</span></h3>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Raspberry, Peach, and Apple</span></h3>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Watermelon and Mint</span></h3>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lemon, Lime, Orange, and Cucumber</span></h3>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1510594867485{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\"]<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Want some additional information from the professionals at Hello Glow?

Thaw phyllo according to package directions. Always have all the other ingredients assembled and ready to go before unwrapping the dough. Because phyllo is thin, fragile and tears easily, work on a smooth dry surface. Phyllo dries out quickly. So once the dough is unwrapped and unrolled, cover it with plastic wrap, then a damp kitchen towel. Work with one sheet at a time and keep the other sheets covered. Refrigerate unopened phyllo dough for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Opened dough can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Baked phyllo should be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.[/ultimate_modal][vc_empty_space height=\"15px\"]','Authentic Old World Spanakopita','','publish','open','open','','authentic-old-world-spanakopita','','','2018-02-19 22:27:00','2018-02-19 22:27:00','',0,'https://strategic.events/?p=7928',0,'post','',0),(7929,3,'2017-11-27 13:38:12','2017-11-27 13:38:12','','Spanakopita','','inherit','open','closed','','spanakopita','','','2017-12-19 21:48:06','2017-12-19 21:48:06','',7928,'https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/skank.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(7930,3,'2017-11-27 13:43:04','2017-11-27 13:43:04','','How To Prepare Spanakopita','','inherit','open','closed','','how-to-prepare-spanakopita','','','2018-01-12 21:08:51','2018-01-12 21:08:51','',7928,'https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/learn.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(7935,1,'2017-11-29 13:45:03','2017-11-29 13:45:03','[vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1511894558916{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\"]\r\n<h2>Sales Follow-Up Calls and Emails: Why, When, and How</h2>\r\nGatekeepers and decision-makers receive hundreds of emails and tens of calls each day.

However, it was found in this study that almost half of salespeople give up after just one follow-up. Having a persistent follow-up plan in place already puts you ahead of the curve.\r\n\r\nEven in struggling markets, sales follow-ups are essential. In this study of mortgage lenders by Tenfold data analyst Roshan Shetty, he found that the most successful salespeople are those who are persistent in following up both by phone and email.\r\n<h3><strong>When do I need to follow up on sales leads?</strong></h3>\r\nIf you want to get ahead of the competition, one simple change you need to make is to follow up more. Sirius Decisions released a study that found the average salesperson just making two attempts to reach a prospect. So whether it’s following up on an appointment or dialing out to try if someone picks up–keeping up this practice is all worth it in the long run.\r\n\r\nAside from persistence, another equally important component of following-up is the response time. Lead response time is simply the measurement of how quick a business responds to a lead that initiated contact.\r\n\r\nA famous <a href=\"https://hbr.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harvard Business Reviews</a> study highlighted that out of 2,241 U.S. companies they measured, 24% took more than 24 hours to respond to lead-initiated contact, with 23% of the companies never responding at all.\r\n\r\nThese are alarming numbers that businesses should guard against, especially because a similar paper written and published by MIT professor James Oldroyd et.al. discovered that the chance of qualifying a lead drops to 10% after the first hour. Worse, no leads were qualified past the 10-hour mark. This basically means that postponing the pursuit of a lead for the next day will most likely result in the lead going “cold”.\r\n<h3><strong>How to follow up: Best practices</strong></h3>\r\n<h4><strong>Steer clear of “touching base” calls and emails</strong></h4>\r\n<img class=\"alignleft wp-image-8010\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/pexels-photo-210647-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"For someone working in sales, there are many reasons why sales follow-up calls and emails should be part of your toolbox–if not one of your main weapons. Sales Follow-Up Calls and Emails: Why, When, and How\" width=\"388\" height=\"258\" />Token emails and calls without providing value are more likely to annoy sales leads than move them along the funnel. A quick way to demonstrate value is to show care by immediately referencing a past call at the beginning of the follow-up. It could be something previously agreed upon or just a quick mention of a detail from a past call. Maybe they attended a webinar, or you or one of your colleagues encountered each other at a trade show.\r\n\r\nWhatever approach you choose, ensure that your call is tailored to the particular prospect. Saying you’re calling to “touch base” or to “circle back” doesn’t give the prospect or lead any incentive to talk to you. Warming up the call is always a must. This is why detailed note-taking and logging calls are such important habits for salespeople. Integrating your phone system with your CRM through a CTI helps instill these habits.\r\n<h3><strong>Utilize repetition</strong></h3>\r\nIt may sound counterintuitive to repeat details that were agreed upon and discussed, but repetition is one your most powerful tools as a salesperson. People tend to pick up and believe what they hear repeatedly. Reiterating how the prospect or lead will benefit from your product is important. The truth is that decision makers receive a lot of calls and not making an effort to leave a lasting impression will quickly erase you from their memory bank. The more they retain, the faster you can educate them on why their problems can be remedied by your proposed solution.\r\n<h3><strong>Reach out through different channels</strong></h3>\r\nSalespeople must have information on the different ways to reach prospects and leads. You need to be able to reach out using all types of communication–phone call, chat, SMS, email, or even on-site visits. Each client will have their own preferred channel so make sure to note this down. Reach out using a combination of different channels with emphasis to their preference.\r\n\r\nThe minimum should be phone calls (both live and voicemails) and email. Voicemails are proven to be still effective as they improve familiarity. Your VMs are not enough to close the deal–but they sure help with recall and improving response rates for future outreach.\r\n\r\nAlso, leverage your online presence. Be easily accessible through <a href=\"https://www.tenfold.com/social-selling/craft-effective-social-media-strategy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media networks</a>, discussion boards, and through blogs. Seek to provide value to prospects and their companies even just through adding to valuable discussions on their own platforms like their SlideShare posts or blog comments.\r\n<h3><strong>Brush up on your summarizing skills</strong></h3>\r\nThe ability to give a quick rundown of what was just discussed should be a skill developed by all salespeople. Once a call is over, reps should be able to summarize all the salient points quickly. Best practice is to send this list over in an email and ask for the lead or prospect’s confirmation. This also helps maintain the conversation moving forward.\r\n<h3><strong>Always set a plan of action for the next call</strong></h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-8011\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/pexels-photo-533189.jpeg\" alt=\"For someone working in sales, there are many reasons why sales follow-up calls and emails should be part of your toolbox–if not one of your main weapons. Sales Follow-Up Calls and Emails: Why, When, and How\" width=\"482\" height=\"363\" />\r\n\r\nNever end a call without a ‘next step’. Salespeople must close each interaction with a clear-cut plan. It could either be setting up an appointment for the next call, scheduling an on-site visit, or even scheduling a demo with other stakeholders to reiterate the value of your solution.\r\n<h3><strong>Use templates and scripts</strong></h3>\r\nThe sales team or a dedicated sales enablement team must create call/voicemail scripts and email templates to serve as guides for salespeople. Of course, these guides are different from mass email scripts. Templates and scripts help reps ensure that every relevant point is covered in each interaction. Personalization is still a must when using these templates in day-to-day prospecting and following up. Workshopping subject lines must also be done to share experiences in what works and what doesn’t.\r\n<h3><strong>Use existing marketing content</strong></h3>\r\n<a href=\"https://strategic.events/31-ways-create-lucrative-sales-funnel/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sales</a> enablement and marketing teams should supply sales with content that they can use to enrich sales conversations and provide value to customer and prospects. For example, customer testimonials and case studies of similar use cases are very valuable in helping prospects visualize their company using your solution. In the same vein, industry studies and research alongside market data must always be utilized to back up claims made by salespeople.\r\n<h3><strong>Track and measure success</strong></h3>\r\nAs with anything in sales and marketing, that which you don’t measure won’t improve.\r\n\r\nKeeping track of numbers related to sales interactions is not difficult anymore, what with the onslaught of different tech solutions just for this particular function. Shop around for a solution that helps you capture the most call data. Connect rates, average call times, and lead response times are just some of the important numbers that you must track in order to work on what could be improved.\r\n\r\nFor emails, tracking open and response rates are the minimum. There are solutions which help you track more metrics like click rates on your in-line URLs and even heat maps for messages.\r\n<h3><strong>Closing thoughts</strong></h3>\r\nGetting the most out of <a href=\"https://strategic.events/32-ways-prospect-sales-leads/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leads</a> and prospects require patience and persistence. Make sure you value each prospect and lead, and handle each interaction with the same professionalism you would use for your best accounts. Sales, especially in B2B, is grounded on strong and trust-filled relationships. Building trust early on sets the stage for successful future interactions.\r\n\r\n<strong>A final note:</strong> If a prospect asks that you stop reaching out, honor that. However, do your best to get feedback from this particular unfortunate event. The information you’ll get could only help you and your team improve.\r\n\r\n[mk_mini_callout]<a href=\"https://www.tenfold.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-7455\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/logo-tenfold.png\" alt=\"Tenfold Logo\" width=\"170\" height=\"85\" /></a>[/mk_mini_callout]','Sales Follow-Up Calls and Emails: Why, When, and How','','publish','open','closed','','sales-follow-up-calls-emails','','','2018-02-19 19:47:31','2018-02-19 19:47:31','',0,'https://strategic.events/?p=7935',0,'post','',0),(7939,1,'2017-11-27 15:15:37','2017-11-27 15:15:37','[vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1511795691764{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\"]\r\n<h2 class=\"article-title\">Meeting Planners Will Face Challenge of Rising Attendance Costs in 2018</h2>\r\n<h3>By Sheryll Poe</h3>\r\n<h3><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7940\" title=\"When it comes to attending a meeting or event in the year ahead, it really is a seller’s market.

Meanwhile, travel costs for attendees and planners are on the rise. Buckle up for increased spending.</h3>\r\n<h3>— Sheryll Poe</h3>\r\nThanks to a stronger economy and growing demand, the predominant trend for the meetings and events industry is positive growth for at least the next year, and even beyond.\r\n\r\n“Economically, all the leading indicators that we rely on have remained largely unchanged, which translates into this continued, slow and steady growth,” said Mike Wainwright, vice president of sales for <a href=\"http://www.marriott.com/convention-resort-network/home.mi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marriott’s Convention and Resort Network</a>. “The only difference we’re seeing now from the previous cycle is a modest increase on the supply side.”\r\n<h3>RECOVERING FROM THE RECESSION</h3>\r\nThe <a href=\"https://strategic.events/meeting-planning-industry-needs-strategy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meetings and events industry</a> has definitely rebounded from the 2008 economic crisis, said Phelps Hope, senior vice president of meetings and expositions for <a href=\"http://kellencompany.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kellen Co.</a>“It’s been a slow climb since the global financial crisis. Not all segments grew at the same rate and not everybody has been profiting, if you will, from that growth. But now, as we look back seven to eight years on, we’re actually thinking, ‘Oh wow, we’re closer to the top of the hill than we thought.\'”\r\n\r\nThe immediate result is that there are more meetings and events taking place around the world.\r\n\r\n“When the economy is heating up, corporations are doing more business, associations are doing more programs, and everybody is flush, and they’re trying to get more <a href=\"https://strategic.events/strategic-event-planning-profession/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">face-to-face business events</a> happening because that’s where we learn from each other; that’s where we educate one another and that’s where we do face-to-face business,” Hope said.\r\n<h3>MORE MEETINGS, MORE MONEY</h3>\r\nBut while the news of overall growth in the industry is positive, the total cost per attendee per day for meetings and events around the globe has gone up, according to Carlson Wagonlit Travel’s  <a href=\"http://www.cwt-meetings-events.com/content/me/global/en/get-inspired/2018-meetings-events-forecast.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2018 Meetings and Events Future Trends report</a>.\r\n\r\nDespite a growth in global airline capacity and more hotels opening than ever, airfare <a href=\"https://strategic.events/untold-story-events-cost-much/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">costs</a> are expected to increase globally by 3.5 percent in 2018 and hotel costs are projected to rise 3.7 percent.\r\n\r\nSupply and demand continue to be strong drivers, according to the report, which provides forecasts for four regions, including North America; Europe, Middle East and Africa; Latin America, and Asia Pacific.\r\n\r\n“From my perspective, in my world, in dealing with the large meeting groups and conventions, the <a href=\"https://strategic.events/planners-feeling-pressure-rising-costs/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">costs of meetings</a> for an attendee is keeping track with inflation,” Marriott’s Wainwright said. “All of our hotels are functions of the economy in general — from the costs of utilities to just standard supply and demand pricing metrics. It rises naturally as with any bushel of goods with inflation.”\r\n\r\nThe CWT report forecast that the costs of both hotels and airfare will increase by 2.5 percent in North America in 2018. That’s because hotel demand is outpacing supply, especially in cities with ease of transfer, or air links. Additionally, hotels are getting creative with driving incremental revenue, including concession bundling for things like parking or transportation of golf clubs.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, the complete opposite is happening in other parts of the world, particularly in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, where a hotel supply surplus isn’t really in play, and hotels are unbundling costs where possible.\r\n\r\n“As the economy heats up, costs go up, because with more frequency of meetings and events, the hotels are filling up,” Hope said. “It means that they can charge higher rates and they’ve got less occupancy so they start charging more for the <a href=\"https://strategic.events/finding-right-fit/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">space</a> they have. Same thing with convention centers and everything from audio-visual companies to transportation companies. Because of that supply and demand curve, we find the costs do go up in certain areas as per attendee.”\r\n<h3>WILL PLANNERS BE CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE?</h3>\r\nMeanwhile, meeting and event planners like <a href=\"https://strategic.events/meeting-pro-christy-lamagna/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christy Lamagna</a>, founder and master strategist of New Jersey-based <a href=\"https://strategic.events/essential-pillars-strategic-meetings/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strategic Meetings</a> and Events, are bracing themselves for difficult conversations around costs.\r\n\r\n“What’s interesting is clients struggle to accept the fact that costs are going up,” Lamagna said. “One of the frustrations is when costs rise but budgets don’t. There’s never a blanket statement that you cannot get more money, but for the majority of us, the focus is on how to do more with less.”\r\n\r\nThe challenge, she said, is that many organizations don’t get to see the true value of meetings because they are simply seen as event logistics. “It’s not a <a href=\"https://strategic.events/strategy-important-planning-events/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">strategic vision</a> that’s being carried out,” she said. “They’d rather spend the money somewhere else and based on the way people plan meetings, they’re right. It could be done differently.”\r\n\r\nLamagna is calling upon her fellow planners and meeting professionals to articulate the value of meetings when faced with a conversation over budgets and rising costs. “It’s partially incumbent upon us as an industry to organize and educate ourselves on what the <a href=\"https://strategic.events/meetings-christy-lamagna-solution/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">strategic value and power of meetings</a> are and educate the people around us,” she said. “There needs to be an understanding on why meetings should be considered an investments not expenditures.”\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[mk_mini_callout]<a href=\"https://skift.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-6906\" title=\"Skift logo\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/logo-square-yellow.png\" alt=\"Skift logo\" width=\"97\" height=\"97\" /></a>[/mk_mini_callout]','Meeting Planners Will Face Challenge of Rising Attendance Costs in 2018','','publish','open','open','','meeting-planners-face-challenge-rising-attendance-costs','','','2018-02-20 19:26:33','2018-02-20 19:26:33','',0,'https://strategic.events/?p=7939',0,'post','',0),(7940,3,'2017-11-27 15:02:09','2017-11-27 15:02:09','','Predominant trend for the meetings and events industry is positive growth','','inherit','open','closed','','trend-meetings-events-industry-positive-growth','','','2017-12-18 23:07:27','2017-12-18 23:07:27','',7939,'https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/guest-speaker1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(7952,3,'2017-11-27 16:13:50','2017-11-27 16:13:50','','word-cloud-v3','','inherit','open','closed','','word-cloud-v3','','','2018-01-25 03:37:27','2018-01-25 03:37:27','',11,'https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/word-cloud-v3.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(7983,3,'2017-11-27 19:47:39','2017-11-27 19:47:39','','Why are follow up calls and emails important in sales?','','inherit','open','closed','','sales-follow-up-calls-emails-important','','','2017-12-18 22:53:52','2017-12-18 22:53:52','',7935,'https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/pexels-photo-92902_650x434_acf_cropped.jpeg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(8001,1,'2018-02-01 09:00:19','2018-02-01 09:00:19','[vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1511974476185{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\"]\r\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Best Foods for Body Fuel at Conferences and Meetings</span></h2>\r\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">By Jennifer Kanikula</span></h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-8032\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/jk.jpg\" alt=\"In the setting of a conference, workspace, or classroom, where the mind is active, but the physical body is sedentary, finding the proper fuel can be difficult. Creating an environment that supports productivity, engagement, and information retention is crucial.

Creating an environment that supports productivity, engagement, and information retention </span>is<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> crucial.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In general: calorie needs will be lower due to inactivity, but nutrient needs remain critical. It’s best to offer smaller meals and snacks to avoid after-meal slumps, (properly known as post-prandial.) Carbohydrate choices should be in form of whole grains and fresh fruit; protein and healthy fats in small amounts are necessary to help sustain satiety; and antioxidant rich foods are ideal for enhancing mental capacity.  In the morning, all three main macronutrients are important.  Carbohydrates will provide our brains with immediate fuel while protein and some healthy fats will help sustain satiety. Some examples of healthy food choices for breakfast include: yogurt with granola and fruit, eggs, and whole grain bread products with optional healthy fats like avocados or peanut butter.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-8002\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/pic20-copy.jpg\" alt=\"In the setting of a conference, workspace, or classroom, where the mind is active, but the physical body is sedentary, finding the proper fuel can be difficult. Creating an environment that supports productivity, engagement, and information retention is crucial. Best Foods for Body Fuel at Conferences and Meetings\" width=\"250\" height=\"376\" /></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Despite having breakfast, it almost seems inevitable that an attack of either hunger or sleepiness strikes before lunch. To combat this, eating and drinking something small yet nutritious between the hours of breakfast and lunch can give our brains and bodies a boost. Some examples of healthy snack foods that will help curve our appetite and stimulate our brains include: string cheese, fresh fruit, nuts, bite-sized chocolates, coffee, and fruit/herb infused water.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">While making it to lunch may seem like a success alone, consuming a lunch that’s both filling and avoids the post-prandial slump would be an even bigger accomplishment! Like breakfast, all three macronutrients are important. However, especially during the middle of the day, our choice of carbohydrates and amount of carbohydrates should be carefully selected. Protein and vegetables should be the main component of the meal, carbohydrates should be either whole grains or fruit on the side, and <em>some</em> healthy fats drizzled in would be ideal to help prolong satiety. An example of a plate that follows these guidelines would be the following:</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Main: Salmon (or other variation of fish or lean meat)</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Side: Vegetable salad tossed in olive oil and vinegar  </span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Side: Couscous/quinoa tossed with fresh herbs </span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Side: Fresh Fruit </span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Offer an afternoon snack similar to the morning snack, something light but still packed with nutrients. Examples of some good afternoon snack options would be: trail mix, vegetables and hummus, fresh fruit, fruit/herb infused water, and coffee.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Above all else, our bodies know exactly how to be healthy. They crave the nutrients we deeply desire to perform at our physical and mental best.  Our job is to simply provide the ingredients.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Want some additional information from Jennifer Kanikula?

meeting planner, event coordinator, event marketing manager or vice president of conferences or some combination of the above. No matter what it is, my goal is that in five years’ time that title will be out of style and the word, ‘strategic’ will be the first word that describes the position you hold. It’s not just a title change that I want to see, it’s an entire industry shift to a <a href=\"https://strategic.events/strategic-mindset-teaching-others-and-why-site-visits-matter/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">strategic mindset</a>.\r\n\r\nHere’s why: currently, most planners execute logistics. A myriad of details handled effortlessly, last minute and onsite changes are managed with aplomb, budgets are tracked to the penny, countless meals coordinated, and the list goes on. As result of these Herculean efforts, programs all over the world happen successfully each day. At the same time the people handling those details and accomplishing these feats are often exhausted, frustrated and feel unappreciated. That has too change.\r\n\r\nSo why would being a, ‘strategic’ planner instead of an ‘event’ or ‘meeting’ planner make a difference? The mere word alone won’t change anything, but if you change the way you work and evolve from an executor of logistics to a strategist, everything changes. The process requires a commitment to learning a new way of thinking, speaking and behaving. The result will transform more than your career. It will improve your life and will help <a href=\"https://strategic.events/event-industry-plan-future/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reshape the industry for the better</a>.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8609\" title=\"No matter what size meeting, where it is, who attends or if it’s a meeting in your office for your team or a global conference for high-level executives, the first question to ask is, ‘what’s the goal for this meeting?’ How to Become a Strategic Planner and Change the Future\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/goals_strategic.png\" alt=\"No matter what size meeting, where it is, who attends or if it’s a meeting in your office for your team or a global conference for high-level executives, the first question to ask is, ‘what’s the goal for this meeting?’ How to Become a Strategic Planner and Change the Future\" width=\"414\" height=\"276\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>The first step to becoming a strategic planner or an event strategist, is to reframe how you plan your events.</strong> No matter what size meeting, where it is, who attends or if it’s a meeting in your office for your team or a global conference for high-level executives, the first question to ask is,<strong> ‘what’s the goal for this meeting?’</strong> If you don’t have a clear answer, you’re not ready to plan.\r\n\r\nMy guess is you have walked out of someone’s office after a meeting ended with no idea why the <a href=\"https://strategic.events/meetings-christy-lamagna-solution/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meeting</a> was called. That’s an example of a meeting that had no clearly defined goal. Imagine that on a much larger scale, where hundreds of people are seated in a room who are experiencing the same confusion as to the point of the gathering. It happens more often than many people realize.\r\n\r\nWhen your planning begins only after you have a clearly defined goal the content will be relevant, clearly communicated and presented effectively. Attendees will be engaged, speakers will be enthused, information shared and absorbed, Q&amp;A sessions will be lively and animated, and guests will leave energized, informed and ready to conquer the world and the <a href=\"https://strategic.events/event-strategist/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">event strategist</a> will be pleased with a job well done.\r\n\r\nThe process isn’t magic, isn’t complicated and isn’t beyond anyone’s reach. It’s a shift in thinking that focuses on goal-oriented actions every step of the way. <strong>My goal is to teach you how to reframe your approach, teach you the thought process behind <a href=\"https://strategic.events/why-planners-need-to-get-strategic/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">strategic planning</a> and give you the vocabulary and tools you need to start making the transition from planner to strategist.</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you missed my last post, Strategic Steps to Successfully Achieve Your Business Goals, you can find it <a href=\"https://strategic.events/strategic-steps-achieve-business-goals/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here</a>.

Read, This is Why Planners Need to Get Strategic to learn more.\" width=\"307\" height=\"226\" />A potential new client called me the other day asking for help planning a large meeting in conjunction with a much larger citywide event. When we received the initial inquiry, we were guardedly optimistic that this was a solid piece of new business. We prepared for the call, outlining who would handle what aspects of the conversation, establishing a flow for follow up questions and doing some preliminary research on the citywide, the client and possible venues.\r\n\r\nWithin literally sixty seconds after our small talk ended, we knew that we had a familiar and frustrating problem on our hands. Here’s a recap of the conversation:\r\n\r\nChristy: “Would you start by telling us why you are holding this event?\r\n\r\nReply: “Sure. As you know, there’s a huge citywide in town so we need to be there.”\r\n\r\nChristy: “Understood, but in terms of the event you are hosting, what’s the purpose?\r\n\r\nReply: “We want to have a party.”\r\n\r\nChristy: “Is this to promote your brand, launch a new product, attract new clients, reward top clients, hand out samples, improve brand recognition?\r\n\r\nReply: “Our CEO loved the party we threw last year so we are doing it again this year.”\r\n\r\nAnd on and on it goes. Unfortunately, this aimless event had a huge budget, a very green planner in charge and a high-profile audience to attract, which translates to a lot of money spent on an event with no goal by a person who isn’t yet qualified to be doing his/her job.\r\n\r\nThis is what used to make me want to quit my job and join the circus. (Who doesn’t want to be a member of the flying Wallendas?) Now I end these calls inspired and more intent than ever to help the event industry and its dedicated professionals to evolve into a more sophisticated form of planner; specifically, <a href=\"https://strategic.events/how-to-become-strategic-planner-change-future/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">strategic planners</a>.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8952\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/come_together.jpg\" alt=\"A potential new client called me the other day asking for help planning a large meeting in conjunction with a much larger citywide event. When we received the initial inquiry, we were guardedly optimistic that this was a solid piece of new business. Read, This is Why Planners Need to Get Strategic to learn more.\" width=\"362\" height=\"247\" />\r\n\r\nTo do this, we must come together as an industry and form a common goal, expand our shared vocabulary, better understand how to measure ROI and demonstrate an event’s value to an organization’s bottom line and to clearly articulate the pivotal role we play in making it all happen. Without this change, we will continue to combat rampant misconceptions around what we do, why events are held and the skills we bring to the table. Our talents will be equated to that of party and wedding planners, and our potential will go largely untapped.\r\n\r\nBy banding together and becoming strategic in our professional vision, brand and goals, we will set the stage to change the way we are perceived, meetings are held and the place we hold in their creation.\r\n\r\nIntrigued?

Time</h2>\r\n<h3><strong>By Christy Lamagna CMP, CMM, CTSM</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>If your meetings are a waste of time, fix them.</strong>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-9470 alignright\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/graphics-for-dont-waiste-time.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"332\" height=\"187\" />\r\n\r\nThe number of words dedicated to self-improvement, streamlining time, eliminating unnecessary tasks and amplifying one’s productivity are beyond measure. Who among us wouldn’t benefit from a bit of fine tuning to our days? What isn’t often discussed is how to take something that is on the discard pile and transform it into a key factor towards your success.\r\n\r\nTake the concept of eliminating or drastically reducing the number of meetings you attend. Most of us have sat through endless, unproductive, meandering meetings that accomplish little more than to make the organizer feel important, the extroverts feel heard and the introverts wondering why they bothered to come. The short-sighted quick fix is to eliminate as many meetings from your life as possible. The strategic, productive solution is to fix the meetings themselves.\r\n\r\nPointless meetings inarguably need to be eliminated and then replaced by strategic meetings. Strategic meetings are goal oriented experience-based gatherings designed to do one of three things:\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>Impart critical information</li>\r\n 	<li>Inspire discussion and conversation</li>\r\n 	<li>Foster/develop relationships</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nStrategic meetings influence what people think, say and do. They have a specific, defined goal, a clear agenda and precise talking points. They rarely need to be more than 45 minutes in length per topic/session and strictly limit conversation to the essentials.\r\n\r\nThe only people in attendance are the key stakeholders and a scribe who will capture the main talking points.  A list of action items and due dates are circulated within 24 hours of the meeting, and those same action items kick off subsequent meetings to track progress and dictate next steps.\r\n\r\nWhen the extraneous topics and people are removed, meetings are powerful vehicles that drive business objectives, shorten sales cycles, build relationships, inspire creativity, facilitate teamwork and remove obstacles. Who wouldn’t raise their hand to attend meetings that guarantee moving attendees closer to their goals?\r\n\r\nSo, if you are the person who calls meetings on a regular basis, take a close look at your methodology. If you are thinking about ordering food and who to invite, you’re doing it wrong. Participants likely won’t be gathered long enough to eat; the attendee list should be obvious, and your focus is the goal of the meeting and the content around achieving it.\r\n\r\nIf you’re not the person who calls meetings but are instead the recipient of invitations to pointless meetings, forward this article to the people in your office who need to make a new year’s resolution to make their meetings strategic going forward. Not only will the office be better for it, their own productivity will be as well.\r\n\r\nWant more tips on why strategic meetings matter and how they can accelerate your sales cycle?

Van Flandern praised Champagne cocktails especially as “ideally suited to foods and are a great way to start a meal.”</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Artisanal Whiskey</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Although, as Van Flandern points out, whiskey will always be popular in cocktails, he’s seeing more “artisanal grains like sorghum, oats, millet and even quinoa” pop up in this beloved brown liquor.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Cristalino Tequila</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This relatively <span style=\"color: #ffd249;\"><a style=\"color: #ffd249;\" href=\"https://www.liquor.com/slideshows/cristalino-tequila/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new type</a></span> of aged tequila is clear, not brown. Van Flandern says it’s becoming popular with bartenders and mixologists who “want the flavor of an aged tequila but don’t want the brown spirit to influence the final color of a great cocktail.”</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Small Batch Gins</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Van Flandern says this variety of gin is “exploding worldwide.” Why? “Gin is easy to produce and there is an infinite number of botanical combinations,” Van Flandern explains. Gin is becoming so popular that there’s actually a <span style=\"color: #ffd249;\"><a style=\"color: #ffd249;\" href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/31/future-gin-safe-say-experts-have-collected-juniper-seeds-conserve/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">juniper shortage</a></span> happening in the U.K. at the moment. Not to worry—gin isn’t going extinct anytime soon. Van Flandern says the shortage should “self-correct” as soon as \"growers are incentivized to plant more [juniper].”</span>','Biggest Cocktail Trends for

Cut in Commissions to Third Parties Increase Costs for Meetings? Planners are reacting with a range of emotion to the announcement by Marriott International that it will cut commissions to third-party planners for bookings—and predictions that the move could impact their clients. \" width=\"390\" height=\"177\" />Planners are reacting with a range of emotion to the announcement by Marriott International that it will cut commissions to third-party planners for bookings—and predictions that the move could impact their clients.\r\n\r\nAfter months of rumors, Marriott said in a letter sent Jan. 24 to some third-party planners that it would cut the standard 10 percent commission for bookings to 7 percent for U.S. and Canadian hotels.\r\n\r\n“While group intermediaries play an important role in the marketplace, costs for our North American hotels and owners are growing at a faster pace than group revenue, which impacts hotel profitability,” the letter read. “To strike a balance and ensure the long-term health of our business, we will reduce commissions to intermediaries from 10% to 7% for all properties in the U.S. and Canada, effective March 31, 2018.”\r\n\r\n“I am still going to deliver the best product for the event, even if it is a Marriott property,” said Kate Christensen, president at KCA, an association and event management company in Phoenix, said. “But this will affect prices.” She, like many planners, often shared her commission with clients or donated a portion to their designated charity.\r\n\r\nChristy Lamagna, master <a href=\"https://strategic.events/how-to-become-strategic-planner-change-future/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">strategist</a> at Strategic Meetings &amp; Events in New Jersey, compared the change to what happened in the airline industry after deregulation and mergers in the 1980s. “Airlines stopped paying commissions to travel agents, and you started to see fees. I hope it doesn’t go that way in the planning industry,” she said.\r\n\r\n“I am horrified, but not surprised,” Lamagna said. “After the merger with Starwood, we have so few choices and others could follow.”\r\n\r\nSome planners worried aloud about whether other hotel companies would follow Marriott’s lead. “The entire industry could start doing this,” Lamagna said.\r\n\r\nA Marriott spokesperson reached on a flight after the change was announced, stressed the importance of <a href=\"https://strategic.events/meetings-christy-lamagna-solution/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meetings</a> business. “At Marriott International, meetings and events represent a critical part of our business as well as an opportunity to drive innovation and win with customers. The current business model and environment, however, present significant obstacles to making the investments needed to deliver a world-class experience for customers.”\r\n\r\nSince publication, Marriott International confirmed that it is “honoring existing contracts” and four large companies will reportedly not see reduced commissions starting in April: HelmsBriscoe, HPN Global, Experient and HelmsBriscoe.\r\n\r\nPaul Van Deventer, president and CEO of Meeting Professionals International made the following statement. “Third-party organizations have become an integral part of the live events industry value chain and are a proven and important resource for planners, destinations and venues. As in any business relationship, the value of services provided needs to be determined by the organizations benefiting from said services.”\r\n\r\n[mk_mini_callout]<a href=\"https://www.smartmeetings.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-9882 \" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/smart-meetings-logo.png\" alt=\"smart meetings logo\" width=\"198\" height=\"50\" /></a>[/mk_mini_callout]','Will Marriott’s Cut in Commissions to Third Parties Increase Costs for Meetings?','','publish','open','closed','','marriott-cut-commissions-third-parties-increase-costs-meetings','','','2018-01-30 18:49:01','2018-01-30 18:49:01','',0,'https://strategic.events/?p=9874',0,'post','',0),(9876,3,'2018-01-30 18:23:42','2018-01-30 18:23:42','','Marriott Cuts Commissions','','inherit','open','closed','','thumbnail-06737f210f492691a92a93521e67746f','','','2018-01-30 18:24:05','2018-01-30 18:24:05','',9874,'https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/thumbnail-06737f210f492691a92a93521e67746f.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(9882,3,'2018-01-30 18:40:38','2018-01-30 18:40:38','','Smart Meetings Logo','','inherit','open','closed','','smart-meetings-logo','','','2018-04-04 15:48:05','2018-04-04 15:48:05','',0,'https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/smart-meetings-logo.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(9887,1,'2018-02-05 02:00:50','2018-02-05 02:00:50','[vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1517339378115{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\"]\r\n<h2>Strategic Tips for Planning Your Next Tasting</h2>\r\n<h3>By Christy Lamagna CMP, CMM, CTSM</h3>\r\nPeople’s palates continue to become increasingly sophisticated and discerning. There are more of us snapping photos of food, enjoying pop-up restaurants and cooking gourmet meals at home (with or without the benefit of the ingredients delivered directly to their door) than ever before. The term ‘foodie,’ which was once reserved for food snobs and the elite, is now a self-proclaimed adjective many of us wear proudly. If you’re new to the world of event food, read on for some helpful strategic tips for <a href=\"https://strategic.events/strategic-event-planning-profession/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">planning</a> your next tasting.\r\n\r\n<strong>Food Tasting – An Essential Part of Preplanning</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright wp-image-9888\" title=\"The term ‘foodie,’ which was once reserved for food snobs and the elite, is now a self-proclaimed adjective many of us wear proudly. If you’re new to the world of event food, read on for some helpful strategic tips for planning your next tasting.\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/chef-review.jpg\" alt=\"The term ‘foodie,’ which was once reserved for food snobs and the elite, is now a self-proclaimed adjective many of us wear proudly. If you’re new to the world of event food, read on for some helpful strategic tips for planning your next tasting.\" width=\"343\" height=\"228\" /></strong>\r\n\r\nThe change in our relationship to food has been shaped in part by an increased number of people with food sensitivities and/or allergies, a heightened awareness of how food is grown, how animals are raised before coming to market and consciousness about the choices we make and how they affect the planet.\r\n\r\nThrow all those factors into a pot, mix well and then multiply by ten, one hundred or one thousand and that’s the number of hungry attendees you are striving to please at your next event. That’s why strategic planners know that food tastings are an essential component of preplanning. What was once a fun (but important) outing to sample a lot of delicious food in the middle of a workday has become a more involved and serious process.\r\n\r\nStrategic <a href=\"https://strategic.events/why-planners-need-to-get-strategic/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">planners</a> remember that everything event-related must be both goal-oriented and designed with the audience in mind. That means choosing plated meals for formal events, family style service for a networking or more social feel, buffets to allow for a flow, etc. Strategists also know that the menu isn’t about their individual preferences, but that of the audience. So, if you are a light eater planning for an audience of hearty and hungry men, think substantial foods. Or, if you love chocolate you still need to consider a citrus flavored sorbet or a warm pie for the perfect ending to the meal.\r\n\r\nFor those of you who aren’t doing tastings at all, keep reading. Hopefully, you’ll be persuaded to add them to your SOPs. If you are scheduling tastings but haven’t upped your game to the level of a <a href=\"https://strategic.events/how-to-become-strategic-planner-change-future/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">strategic planner</a>, here are a few strategic tips for planning your next tasting:\r\n\r\n1. Remember all those photos people take of food? Your audience is now looking at their plates with a practiced eye. Food presentation is noticed and there is an expectation of creativity. Make sure what you are serving is colorful, three dimensional and carefully plated. A slab of prime rib au jus with a lump of mashed potatoes isn’t going to cut it.\r\n\r\n2. At what temperature is the food best enjoyed? Is your program predictable enough that the food you’re choosing can be served at its ideal temperature? If you have erratic content, then filet mignon or other temperature sensitive food may not be the right choice.\r\n\r\n3. What is the chef creating for vegans and vegetarians? What menu options are gluten-free? Make sure you are tasting those items as well. What was once the exception is becoming the norm, and everyone deserves the same dining experience. Make sure guests with particular food needs or requests are getting the same attention.\r\n\r\n4. Conduct your tasting on a prototype of the table you’ll be using. That means the linens, plates, and centerpieces should be there. The table should be set for the anticipated number of guests per table and with the chairs you’ll be using. This is the moment you realize the colors clash, the florals are too strongly scented, the napkins don’t do their job well enough, the centerpiece is too high for comfortable conversation or the table is too crowded to cut the meat.\r\n\r\n5. Think about not just what you are eating but how easy or difficult it is to eat it in the time being allotted. If you spent two hours doing a tasting for a meal that you are giving attendees 30 minutes to eat, you need to rethink your plan.\r\n\r\nFood is an integral component of most onsite experiences. Make sure that your tasting factors in the many components of dining so you can deliver beyond expectations.\r\n\r\nWant 10 more strategic tips for planning your next tasting?<strong> </strong>Click<strong> <a href=\"https://strategic.events/10-strategic-tips-for-planning-your-next-tasting/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE</a>.</strong>\r\n\r\n[mk_mini_callout]<a href=\"http://www.corporateeventnews.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-7555 \" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/logo_cen_2.png\" alt=\"Corporate Event News Logo\" width=\"265\" height=\"84\" /></a>[/mk_mini_callout]','Strategic Tips for Planning Your Next Tasting','','publish','open','closed','','strategic-tips-planning-next-tasting','','','2018-04-17 21:04:03','2018-04-17 21:04:03','',0,'https://strategic.events/?p=9887',0,'post','',0),(9888,3,'2018-01-30 19:12:26','2018-01-30 19:12:26','','chef-review','','inherit','open','closed','','chef-review','','','2018-01-30 19:21:04','2018-01-30 19:21:04','',9887,'https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/chef-review.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(9899,3,'2018-01-30 22:47:16','2018-01-30 22:47:16','','sme-ko_157x120','','inherit','open','closed','','sme-ko_157x120','','','2018-01-30 22:47:16','2018-01-30 22:47:16','',0,'https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/sme-ko_157x120.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(9901,1,'2018-01-31 14:20:47','2018-01-31 14:20:47','[vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1517339378115{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\"]\r\n<h2>Corporate Event News Launches Get Strategic with Christy Lamagna Blog</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-9902\" title=\"Corporate Event News Launches “Get Strategic with Christy Lamagna” blog designed to help corporate event professionals become more strategic. “Get Strategic with Christy Lamagna,” hosted on the Corporate Event News website, will feature content from industry thought leader Christy Lamagna.\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/christy_roo_616pxx411px.jpg\" alt=\"Corporate Event News Launches Get Strategic with Christy Lamagna blog designed to help corporate event professionals become more strategic. “Get Strategic with Christy Lamagna,” hosted on the Corporate Event News website, will feature content from industry thought leader Christy Lamagna.\" width=\"291\" height=\"194\" />\r\n\r\nCorporate Event News is pleased to announce the launch of a new dedicated blog designed to help corporate event professionals become more strategic.

If a whirlwind itinerary including a Mr. Potato Head face kit (read on for details), spa treatments, a luau, and fabulous take-home gifts is what a client is after to motivate a sales force, incentive planners are up to the task. And that task (incentives) often begins anywhere from six months to a full year prior to the time of the event, making planners key among the company\'s players and its year-end sales quota.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-2030\" title=\"The corporate incentives planner is a rare breed, at once detail-oriented to a fault and incredibly imaginative.

Meetings West interviewed several of the industry\'s finest to share tales of recently planned incentive programs, including explanations of extraordinary activities, gift ideas, challenges, and joys.\" width=\"398\" height=\"265\" />In this section, Meetings West interviewed several of the industry\'s finest to share tales of recently planned incentive programs, including explanations of extraordinary activities and social functions, gift ideas, challenges, and joys.\r\n\r\nPlease continue reading for a bit of \"fire and ice,\" if you will, as the profiled planners booked Maui and Hawaii\'s Big Island, and, for an alternative winter program, Alberta\'s Banff, which attendees adored.\r\n\r\n<strong>Christy Lamagna</strong>, <em>CMP, CMM</em>\r\n<em>Chief Strategist and President</em>\r\n<em>Strategic Meetings and Events</em>\r\n<em>New York, New Jersey and San Francisco</em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Briefly describe the incentive program.</strong></span>\r\nThe President\'s Club for the company BroadVision was held at Grand Wailea Resort Hotel and Spa in Maui, Hawaii. The five-day program welcomed 504 attendees.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>In planning the incentive program, did you follow a timeline?</strong></span>\r\n<strong>One year out:</strong> We chose the property, reserved the off-site venues, including an aquarium for a private dinner, checked out the excursion options, looked at giveaways and ordered samples, and made sure our budget was allocated correctly. At that time, we also started working with our airline partners on lift options for as many direct flights as we could get. We locked in our production vendor.\r\n\r\n<strong>Six months out:</strong> We started designing the website, print pieces (save-the-date cards, refrigerator magnets, registration reminders, travel packets, luggage tags). We continued budget monitoring. We worked with the production vendor on the awards dinner theme.\r\n\r\n<strong>Three months out:</strong> We revisited the site, selected florals, linens, did tastings, ordered giveaway items and awards.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Did the program have a \"message,\" and if so, was it successfully conveyed to the </strong><strong>participants?</strong></span>\r\nThe message was that they were important and this was a reward, so we made sure to make every detail count. We made sure no detail was overlooked. We put tropical scented air fresheners in all guest rooms. We had daycare for the kids where they learned a special song and local dance for a surprise concert on the final night. (The adults flipped and the kids were delighted!) We also had a gift—a photo frame—waiting for them when they returned home.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What did the program entail, including recreation, dinners, group outings, award ceremonies, etc.? Was there anything particularly unique about the program?</strong></span>\r\nUpon arriving at the hotel, guests confirmed their excursions and went into our shirt shack to select the Hawaiian item of their choosing. There was a hospitality desk to get a quick bite and then they had the rest of the day to settle in. We had a welcome event out on the lawn overlooking the water. We rented high-powered telescopes and had maps for the night sky. We had palm readers and crystal readers.\r\n\r\nWe also had a traditional luau where the CEO was brought in on a canoe in authentic warrior dress with conch shell blowers and torches, leading his way to the lawns where the group was mingling. A fire twirler and a private fireworks show was part of the evening, as well. We had a formal awards night that was spectacular. We turned the ballroom into a glamorous, magical place by pipe and draping all the walls in black velvet; hanging our <a href=\"https://strategic.events/bright-ideas-create-centerpieces/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">centerpieces</a> from the ceilings like chandeliers; using chair covers with flowers tied into sashes; pin spot lighting on the tables; gold up-lighting on the walls—it was simply incredible. While guests were inside we turned the prefunction space they gathered in into an outdoor martini lounge. When the event ended, they were surprised again to find a spot for after-hours fun.\r\n\r\nEach night they had a room gift. The night before the final night, we sent a piece of collapsible luggage that had wheels and the event logo on it, to each guest\'s room, so that they had a piece of luggage for the many giveaway items they received. We had a video of candid shots that we took all week and showed on the final night as well. Everyone got a copy as a take-home gift (formatted for U.S. and European VCRs as well; again, you have to think of all the details).\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>How did you choose where the incentive program would be held?</strong></span>\r\nWe wanted something spectacular and where we\'d have bright, sunny, happy weather. Maui is a great fit for us and the Grand Wailea made the presentation we wanted.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What did the attendees enjoy the most about the incentive program and the destination?</strong></span>\r\nWe surprised the group with a parking lot full of rental cars (many of them convertibles) for a road rally event. We had pineapples, a Polaroid camera, and a Mr. Potato Head face kit in a bag for each team of four. Attendees were given maps of the island with <a href=\"https://strategic.events/asking-strategic-questions-cvb/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">questions</a> about particular locations they would find, as they explored. They were supposed to decorate their pineapple and take photos of it as it journeyed with them throughout the day. I still can\'t believe the adventures some of these pineapples had. One group talked the local police into letting them take photos of their pineapple in the back of a police car and behind bars in jail. They loved the island, the freedom of exploring without restriction, and doing something fun and creative.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What take-home gifts were given to attendees?</strong></span>\r\nWe selected as many gifts local to the area as we could. We wanted to support the local economy, keep an authentic flavor in the gifts, and save on shipping costs. Gifts included small wrapped tropical plants; robes; and flip-flops that had BroadVision lasered into the bottom to leave our logo in the sand, as people walked on the beach.<img class=\"alignright wp-image-4094 size-medium\" title=\"The corporate incentives planner is a rare breed, at once detail-oriented to a fault and incredibly imaginative.

We assigned a VIP handler for our CEO and his family and had a VIP point person for the rest of the VIPs who attended. We had a town car on standby at all times for the \'emergency\' VIP needs and communicated what would and would not be covered well before the program, to prevent running up our budget.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What is it you enjoyed most about planning the incentive program?</strong></span>\r\nLetting my imagination run wild and then finding ways to recreate what was in my head and turn it into a reality. We had a very generous budget, which made it easier; we came in $900K under budget [out of a $3 million budget] because we negotiated well, planned well, comparison shopped, did our research, and got the most competitive deal we could out of our vendors.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Who on the supplier side did you depend on the most to successfully execute the event?</strong></span>\r\nMichael Lambert from (then) Maritz in Mill Valley, Calif. He\'s one of the best in the business and I\'m old so I\'ve met my share of vendors!\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What makes for a successful incentive program in general? And was this outcome achieved for this particular program?</strong></span>\r\nWhile a generous budget is a help, it is not essential. It took a full year to plan this event. I met with my team almost every Friday for a full year to walk through every moment of the process, from the first mailer to returning home, and we just let our imaginations go wild. You have to be creative, passionate, and resourceful.\r\n\r\nThis incentive trip was wildly successful. When I see people who were on it, they still share something to remind me why they enjoyed it.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Marianne McNulty,</strong> <em>CMP, CTIE</em>\r\n<em>Managing Director</em>\r\n<em>Your Right Source, LLC</em>\r\n<em>Sugar Grove, Ill.</em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Briefly describe the incentive program.</strong></span>\r\nThis incentive program was themed \"The Race to Victory Lane\" and was produced by Rockwell International\'s Electronic Commerce division. The \"Rockwell Cup\" was rewarded to the victorious in Banff, Alberta, where winners and guests stayed at the luxurious Fairmont Banff Springs hotel. The program was a five-day, four-night stay for 58 attendees.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>In planning the incentive program, did you follow a timeline?</strong></span>\r\nYes, a timeline was followed for this project, dictated by the fact that the client held a one-year qualification period to win the trip. We started with a site inspection about 16 months before our preferred dates of the program. At this time, we discovered all the possibilities for evening functions and activities available to us. Upon our return from the site inspection, the hotel and DMC contracts were executed. Each month of the qualification period, a different letter of motivation was sent to the many hopefuls. Six months out, we finalized the different events we would hold each evening. Three months out, the activities that would be hosted by the company were chosen.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Did the program have a \"message,\" and if so, was it successfully conveyed to the </strong><strong>participants?</strong></span>\r\nUsing the overall theme \"The Race to Victory Lane,\" and a strong graphic of a race car and a checkered flag, the potential field was \"revved up\" to concentrate on every \"lap\" (month of competition) until the flag comes down on the final lap. The message being that effort must be consistent and sustained over the entire qualification period and that the race can be won or lost in that final lap. The monthly mailings were consistent and targeted to the challenge at hand. But one thing was not revealed—the destination. That surprise was saved until the winners stood in \"Victory Lane\" during the sales meeting at the end of the fiscal year.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What did the program entail, including recreation, dinners, group outings, award ceremonies, etc.? Was there anything particularly unique about the program?</strong></span>\r\nThe program was a wonderful mixture of casual and elegant. We started with a transfer from the Calgary Airport to the Banff Springs hotel, and it was cold! So, we warmed everyone up with mugs of hot chocolate and very knowledgeable guides on each transfer vehicle. These guides acclimated the attendees to the area.\r\n\r\nOur welcome reception was a \"Taste of Canada,\" held in the hotel\'s conservatory. Two strolling local musicians kept the mood light.\r\n\r\nFor the final night gala, we took everyone to the sister property of The Fairmont Banff Springs, the beautiful Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Here we transformed a ballroom into a winter wonderland and brought in a quartet of Russian balalaika performers. As we arrived, guests were settled into horse-drawn sleighs for a ride along the lake. Then, upon entrance to the ballroom, vodka shots were offered to each guest and an evening of Doctor Zhivago Russian elegance ensued.\r\n\r\nOn the second and third days of the program, the attendees had pre-selected an activity that was covered by the company. Skiing, spa treatments and dogsledding were the favorites.<img class=\"alignright wp-image-4093 size-medium\" title=\"The corporate incentives planner is a rare breed, at once detail-oriented to a fault and incredibly imaginative. Meetings West interviewed several of the industry\'s finest to share tales of recently planned incentive programs, including explanations of extraordinary activities, gift ideas, challenges, and joys.\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/NA4U246B9D-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"The corporate incentives planner is a rare breed, at once detail-oriented to a fault and incredibly imaginative. Meetings West interviewed several of the industry\'s finest to share tales of recently planned incentive programs, including explanations of extraordinary activities, gift ideas, challenges, and joys.\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nOn the last full day, everyone participated in the Rockwell Winter Olympics and had a great time playing broomball hockey, snow sculpting and downhill sledding.\r\n\r\nEarly in their stay, we had all guests go to a special room and choose a medieval costume supplied by a costume company from Calgary. Then on the third evening of the program, in St. Stephan\'s Hall, our participants ate a meal entirely with their hands, drank mead, laughed to the antics of a few medieval characters, and had a marvelous time.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>How did you choose where the incentive program would be held?</strong></span>\r\nOnce we decided to go against the grain (sun destinations) for this program, we quickly narrowed the field, and the beauty of Banff rose to the top. With a world-class property such as The Fairmont Banff Springs, you are able to offer your guests every amenity to accompany the destination\'s outdoor activities. Add to this the fact that the Canadian dollar is so favorably converted into USD and we felt we had our own incentive.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What did the attendees enjoy the most about the incentive program and the destination?</strong></span>\r\nThe attendees loved the dogsledding activity! And the medieval banquet was a great success. Several were already avid skiers and brought their own equipment along. But the hotel can completely outfit anyone for a day on the slopes. Overall, the fact that we chose a winter destination proved to be a great choice.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What take-home gifts were given to attendees?</strong></span>\r\nWhenever I do an incentive program, I try to keep all gifts to things that are either useful at the destination or indigenous to the destination. Every day when the guests went out for activities, we had a bowl of\"heat\" packets that we encouraged them to take in quantity to put inside gloves, inside boots, inside pockets—anywhere a bit of warmth was going to be needed. And, of course, we also provided gloves and scarves.\r\n\r\nThe big gift was unusual, but indigenous to the destination. We contracted with a local jeweler/museum to provide an etched glass Inukshuk. These totem-like statues were used as indicators for those traveling the wilderness in the earliest days. It was a beacon, a welcome sight to weary travelers crossing a barren tundra. We gave these gifts with a note from the president.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What was the greatest challenge in executing the incentive program?</strong></span>\r\nThe greatest challenge was convincing the winners that they would enjoy a winter destination as much as a summer destination. Those who were already ski aficionados needed no convincing, but they were the minority. We waged a campaign of mailings highlighting one event or activity with each postcard, which served to get them in the right frame of mind. For the last two weeks before the trip, we bombarded them with e-mails to \"sell\" the destination.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What is it you enjoyed most about planning the incentive program?</strong></span>\r\nI was delighted to be working against the sun destination momentum we had going. Choosing the different activities and events that were possible in Banff was a little reward for me.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Who on the supplier side did you depend on the most to successfully execute the event?</strong></span>\r\nThere is simply no way such a program could have been carried off as flawlessly as it was without the cooperation of a great property, The Fairmont Banff Springs, and a fantastic DMC, Road West. I would never be as thoughtless as to choose one over the other, because it was in working together and sharing what we each knew that this program succeeded.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What makes for a successful incentive program in general? And was this outcome achieved for this particular program?</strong></span>\r\nAn incentive program is only successful with the complete buy-in by all concerned. There must be superb cooperation between planner, hotel and DMC. The client and the planner must see eye-to-eye, and the DMC must be able to indulge the whims and wishes of the client. More importantly, the potential attendees/winners must feel as though they are being asked to achieve something achievable. They must be motivated and prodded often along the route. And they must be rewarded beyond the level of their perceptions.\r\n\r\nThis program succeeded on all levels.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Andrea Michaels</strong>\r\n<em>President</em>\r\n<em>Extraordinary Events</em>\r\n<em>Sherman Oaks (Los Angeles), Calif.</em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Briefly describe the incentive program.</strong></span>\r\nWashington Mutual\'s 2005 President\'s Club was held at the Hilton Waikoloa Village on Hawaii\'s Big Island. The four-night, five-day program welcomed 900 attendees.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><img class=\"alignright wp-image-4095\" title=\"The corporate incentives planner is a rare breed, at once detail-oriented to a fault and incredibly imaginative.

Meetings West interviewed several of the industry\'s finest to share tales of recently planned incentive programs, including explanations of extraordinary activities, gift ideas, challenges, and joys.\" width=\"335\" height=\"223\" />In planning the incentive program, did you follow a timeline?</strong></span>\r\nWe started a year out, we began by developing a variety of themes for the client\'s approval. About nine months out we did our first site inspection to look for creative, technical and logistical elements, to meet with suppliers, the hotel catering department, and most especially, to evaluate function space. Six months out we narrowed down possible themes and did the first pass at a budget; this continued to be refined for the next three months. By three months out, themes were selected, renderings completed, and we began to get down to specifics of entertainment, linens and floral and design elements.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Did the program have a \"message,\" and if so, was it successfully conveyed to the </strong><strong>participants?</strong></span>\r\nThe message was that all attendees were indeed winners and valued by their company. Additionally, this year\'s theme was \"Pure Aloha\"—we worked hard to ensure each event incorporated that message.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What did the program entail, including recreation, dinners, group outings, award ceremonies, etc.? Was there anything particularly unique about the program?</strong></span>\r\nThe program entailed a welcome party, two general sessions, an awards night dinner, and a theme event, each incredibly unique. The awards dinner included an Academy Awards-style entrance infused with this year\'s Aloha theme. The cocktail reception began with an Oscar-worthy red carpet entrance. Two hosts—one a former Miss Hawaii!—interviewed guests as they sauntered down the red carpet. Guests were pleasantly surprised to see that Magic Johnson—spokesman for Washington Mutual—was ready, microphone in hand, to conduct some of the interviews. Live recordings of the interviews were fed to plasma monitors throughout the event space and video screens in the ballroom, which kept the guests\' excitement level high.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What was the greatest challenge in executing the incentive program?</strong></span>\r\nOne challenge was that this client had held many programs in Hawaii and we needed to be completely unique and not replicate anything that had been done before. Also, Hawaii has many natural resources, but not as many unique event elements that can be locally tapped into. (And when the surf is up, attendees can disappear quickly.)\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Who on the supplier side did you depend on the most to successfully execute the event?</strong></span>\r\nWe relied on our designer, Sean de Freitas of Designs by Sean, and our great technical team, headed up by Greg Christy of Brite Ideas. Members of the team from Extraordinary Events include Isabelle Zimmerman, account executive, and producers Donna Richardson, Liv Scheinbaum, Megan Reynolds, and Taylor Black.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What makes for a successful incentive program in general? And was this outcome achieved for this particular program?</strong></span>\r\nA successful incentive program always recognizes the winners and their needs. It is motivating, inspiring, and satisfying. It allows for both networking and downtime. It provides unique experiences in an exciting venue that the guests could never achieve on their own.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>Tags: Incentives, Corporate Incentives, Event Planning, Event Planners, Strategic Planners, Strategic Events, Corporate Meetings, Corporate Events, Meetings Focus, Meetings Today</em>\r\n\r\n[mk_mini_callout]<a href=\"http://www.meetingstoday.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-714 size-medium\" title=\"Meetings Today\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/meetings_focus_logo-300x56.png\" alt=\"Meetings Today\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\" /></a>[/mk_mini_callout]','Corporate Incentives: Tales of Recently Planned Incentive Programs','','inherit','closed','closed','','491-revision-v1','','','2018-01-31 15:02:22','2018-01-31 15:02:22','',491,'https://strategic.events/491-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(9910,3,'2018-01-31 15:04:51','2018-01-31 15:04:51','<h2>Strategic Insight For Event Planners</h2>\r\n<h3>Event Planner Entertainment Interview - Christy Lamagna CMP, CMM, CTSM</h3>\r\nHaving been a Vice President of a Fortune 50 company, and a member of five start-up organizations, Christy\'s strategic insight and creativity will make all your events truly memorable experiences.

As planners, we’re programmed to think ahead. So, while we might be thinking about swapping sweaters for short sleeves in our personal lives, professionally we need to think about what we want to accomplish this summer project season. (One of those things should be ordering your holiday cards, by the way.)\r\n\r\nSummer is when schedules slow down for many of us. Using this time wisely will guarantee an easier path when things get hectic again. These ideas are applicable at any time, so no matter when your schedule slows down you will be ready to dive in.\r\n\r\nMy team keeps a wish list year-round. We write down ideas that would make our jobs easier or streamline the work. We keep track of ideas for which we don’t have time at that moment. When spring hits, we combine our lists, determine which projects are worth doing and decide who should tackle them.\r\n\r\nOur projects range in scope and size, but all are designed to make us stronger and more efficient. This list might help you during summer project season, as well.\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><strong>Magazines.</strong> I often find helpful websites, so I rip out those pages, circle the URL and file them. By summer, I have a thick file of potentially useful sites that need to be explored, posted to a database, summarized and filed by subject. Many are about the event industry but some are about health, money or fashion. I think it’s important to focus on the entire person, not just on their workplace value.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Photo filing.</strong> We take dozens of photos on site visits. When we return, we upload the photos and move on. This time of year, we weed out shots we don’t need, label them and link them to site notes, so the photos and venue information is in one spot. We revisit the site when clients ask for venue ideas.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Vendors.</strong> We meet with each to make sure we’re getting the best pricing available and ordering efficiently. We interview potential new vendors and analyze our spend for ways to save money. For instance, if you regularly order giveaways and find yourself paying rush charges, maybe you can order staple items to have in stock so you can pull from your <a href=\"https://strategic.events/strategic-supplies-gang-box-checklist-onsite-inventory/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">inventory</a> instead? If you can buy in bulk, you’ll save time, money and energy.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Lists.</strong> Write down the goals you want to accomplish between now and a year from now. When you have time to reflect and the ability to get things done, use it for motivation.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nWant our list of the Top 25 industry sites, as of our last update?

But it’s only part of the equation. Managing the content and presentations with confidence is equally critical.\n\nStart at the beginning. Know the slide format you’ll be using. You have two options: 16:9 and 4:3. These are aspect ratios, which translate into how your content looks on your screens. The 16:9, a widescreen format, is most common today in slides, as well as movies and television.\n\nThe 4.3 option is being phased out. Most new projectors are exclusively 16:9. If you’re using a 4:3 format, make sure your production team knows so screens and projectors are in sync with your slide size. To learn how to format slides or know what format slides are in, email me at <a href=\"mailto:Christy.Lamagna@strategic.events\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christy.Lamagna@strategic.events</a>\n\n<strong>SLIDE FORMAT ISN’T THE ONLY THING TO FOCUS ON.</strong> Templates should be created whenever possible to ensure consistent formatting and to help guarantee visual quality and consistency. Titles, body copy, subheads and footnotes are pre-programmed so presenters can prepare their copy rather than formatting slides.\n\nAnother key to effective slide formatting is encouraging presenters to limit the number of bullet items per slide. Overcrowding slides makes them hard to read and intimidating, causing people to “click off of” what the speaker is saying.\n\nOnce your slides are set, turn your attention to keeping your meeting running on time. A timer helps presenters know where they are and can give a pre-determined warning before the end of their allotted time. Red, yellow and green lights can be used to enforce the message.\n\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-1989 size-medium\" title=\"Securing the right ballroom for your meeting is essential for a successful event, as we recently discussed. But it’s only part of the equation. Managing the content and presentations is equally critical. How To Slide Into Your Presentations With Confidence\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/8KQC04JDT0-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Securing the right ballroom for your meeting is essential for a successful event, as we recently discussed. But it’s only part of the equation. Managing the content and presentations is equally critical. How To Slide Into Your Presentations With Confidence\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" />Speakers present even more effectively with confidence monitors. These are placed on the floor in front of the stage so that the speakers can see them with little effort. They won’t have to look behind them to see their materials and if placed correctly, the monitors are invisible to the audience.\n\nMonitors for the speaker’s notes add another layer of insurance and comfort for your presenter. These screens are pre-loaded to remind the speaker of anything he or she wants to remember in the presentation.\n\n<strong>ALL THESE MONITORS AND SLIDES</strong> require that someone be backstage to advance the slides and make sure everything is in sync. Hiring a graphics operator allows changes to be made to presentations, unseen errors to be corrected and for a seamless show flow. The investment is worth the peace of mind it brings.\n\nUse a PerfectCue System (or a similar brand) to advance slides. With this, speakers have a hand-held clicker. When pressed, the clicker lights up a red or green arrow at the graphics operator’s table, letting that person know to advance the slides. This prevents nervous speakers from advancing too quickly or forgetting to advance at all.

Half the battle is believing you can do it and not letting the idea overwhelm you. If you conquer your fear, you’ll have a new skill, more confidence and that awful feeling in your gut will be banished from the budgeting area of your life.\r\n\r\nEvent budgets come in all shapes and sizes, but they all follow some basic principles. The key is using the information you have and using some simple math to fill in the gaps. No matter what you’re planning, your event likely falls into one of these categories:\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>Events in the next year with an internal audience.</li>\r\n 	<li>Events more than one year out with an internal audience.</li>\r\n 	<li>Events in the next year with an external audience.</li>\r\n 	<li>Events more than one year out with an external audience.</li>\r\n 	<li>International events in the next year with an internal audience.</li>\r\n 	<li>International events in the next year with an external audience.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nTo make sure we’re all clear, let’s define some terms. An internal audience is one that you can reasonably predict. It’s your team. An external audience is the general public, over whom you have little to no control. Internal audiences are likely obligated to attend the event. External audiences are not.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-7653\" title=\"This six-part series looks at personal and professional spending for planners involving corporate event budgets. Feeling better about your personal finances but still apprehensive about tackling line item budgets for your next program? Corporate Event Budgets: Do It Like A Pro\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/slide1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"This six-part series looks at personal and professional spending for planners involving corporate event budgets. Feeling better about your personal finances but still apprehensive about tackling line item budgets for your next program? Corporate Event Budgets: Do It Like A Pro\" width=\"408\" height=\"230\" />\r\n\r\nIf you don’t have a budget template, see if someone in your office has one from a past event. Can’t find one? There are lots of spots on the Internet that offer them. Email me at <a href=\"mailto:christy.lamagna@stratetic.events\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">christy.lamagna@stratetic.events</a> for a basic template you can customize.\r\n\r\nBasic rules of budgeting apply regardless of audience type. There are two types of expenses: fixed and per head. An example of a fixed cost is venue rental. Generally speaking, the venue rental remains static no matter how many people attend. Identifying your fixed costs and plugging them in is an easy place to start.\r\n\r\nKey things to keep in mind: Service charges, sales and occupancy taxes, and resort fees are rarely included in the quoted prices. Make sure you know all additional items you must factor into your budget. Some hotels have union contracts requiring guests to pay a porterage fee both at check-in and check-out whether they use bellmen or not. Others charge the fee when a group of 10 or more checks in at one time. Asking <a href=\"https://strategic.events/asking-strategic-questions-cvb/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">questions</a> now avoids surprises later. A real pro negotiates as many of the fees out of the contract as possible before signing with the property.\r\n\r\nKnowing what to track is half the battle. Below are key headers I include in my budgets. Keeping figures from the previous year visible is useful in gauging this year’s actuals. Capturing cost savings will alert you to one-time-only deals you were able to negotiate but cannot count on for future years.\r\n\r\nHistorical data is invaluable as you populate your budget. The more <a href=\"https://strategic.events/strategically-building-your-information-pipeline/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">information</a> you capture, the closer you can get to your target this year. Do your guests skip breakfast and hit the morning break hard? Do they drink beer and wine or mostly mixed drinks? Are they coffee fiends, or do they stick to cold drinks? Knowing this will allow you to set your guarantees, plan your menus and schedule your meal times with more accuracy, thereby using your dollars effectively.\r\n\r\nWhat happens if you don’t have historical data to rely on? How do you think of all the potential costs before they happen? That’s what we’ll talk about next week.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>Tags: Corporate Event Budgets Do It Like A Pro, Budgets, Budgeting, Event Planning, Event Budgets, Event Planners, Strategic Planners, Strategic Events, Plan Your Meetings</em>\r\n\r\n[mk_mini_callout]<a href=\"http://planyourmeetings.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-398 size-full\" title=\"Plan Your Meetings\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Plan-Your-Meetings_250.jpg\" alt=\"Plan Your Meetings \" width=\"250\" height=\"81\" /></a>[/mk_mini_callout]','Corporate Event Budgets: Do It Like A Pro','','inherit','closed','closed','','682-revision-v1','','','2018-01-31 21:13:53','2018-01-31 21:13:53','',682,'https://strategic.events/682-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(9926,3,'2018-01-31 21:15:43','2018-01-31 21:15:43','<h2>Show Me The Money! 4 Easy Ways To Save Your Cents</h2>\r\n<h3>By Christy Lamagna, CMP, CMM, CTSM</h3>\r\nThis six-part series looks at personal and professional spending for planners money.

The peace of mind that comes from knowing you can withstand a major financial hit is huge. Save for a hurricane, not just a rainy day. Put some money aside. Show Me The Money! 4 Easy Ways To Save Your Cents\" width=\"364\" height=\"165\" />When I was in my 20s, I walked into my parents’ house with an armful of shopping bags. My dad looked at my bounty and said, “Chris, has it ever occurred to you to save some of your money?”\r\n\r\nActually, it hadn’t.\r\n\r\nIt seemed like an obvious question once he threw it out there, but before that moment, I viewed money in a way that echoed the old Dorito’s commercial: “Crunch all you want, we’ll make more.” I just substituted “spend” for “crunch.” It was a system that worked for me.\r\n\r\nIn that moment, my dad opened a door I had never noticed. I opened a savings account the next day. Having a savings account felt very “established.” I had a checking account, of course. How else could I pay my credit card bills? But somehow a savings account was a milestone into adulthood.\r\n\r\nThe peace of mind that comes from knowing you can withstand a major financial hit is huge. My motto? Save for a hurricane, not just a rainy day. Put some money aside. See how you feel when you see the total go from two figures to three. Then four. Imagine it being six or seven figures. It’s attainable. You can start today.\r\n\r\nLet’s focus first on free money. If your employer offers a 401k plan, use it. If it offers a contribution of any kind, take full advantage, so if you save for your retirement, they kick in extra money. When you’re in your 20s, it seems as if you can’t possibly live without that small percentage you’re putting away. The tips and tricks I’m going to give you will make up for that money and then some. Keep reading. There’s money hidden in these paragraphs.\r\n\r\nEnroll in a “keep the change” or equivalent program at your bank. It takes any money you spend on your debit card and automatically puts the change in your savings account. If your purchase is $9.50, $10 will be deducted and 50 cents goes to your savings account. It’s painless and it adds up.\r\n\r\neBates. For reasons I don’t fully understand, if you create an account at ebates.com you get a percentage of your total spend back at qualifying stores. Every quarter you get a check. Tons of stores are included and on holidays the return percentage often increases. I’ve gotten as much as 15 percent back, and that’s before using any sales or promo codes for the store itself. There’s no limit to how much you can get back. If you refer friends, you get more money. Crazy easy. I just got a check for about $100. Cha-ching.\r\n\r\nStore receipt savings. Many store receipts now tally how much you saved after making a purchase. Transfer that amount, or even half of it, to your savings account. If you do it right, the more you spend the more you save. Literally!\r\n\r\nCredit card savings. Look at the cards you use. If you don’t get cash back or miles, switch cards. Google “best credit card programs” and find a card that works for you. Most are either free for the first year or for the life of the card.

Show Me The Money! 4 Easy Ways To Save Your Cents\" width=\"364\" height=\"165\" />When I was in my 20s, I walked into my parents’ house with an armful of shopping bags. My dad looked at my bounty and said, “Chris, has it ever occurred to you to save some of your money?”\r\n\r\nActually, it hadn’t.\r\n\r\nIt seemed like an obvious question once he threw it out there, but before that moment, I viewed money in a way that echoed the old Dorito’s commercial: “Crunch all you want, we’ll make more.” I just substituted “spend” for “crunch.” It was a system that worked for me.\r\n\r\nIn that moment, my dad opened a door I had never noticed. I opened a savings account the next day. Having a savings account felt very “established.” I had a checking account, of course. How else could I pay my credit card bills? But somehow a savings account was a milestone into adulthood.\r\n\r\nThe peace of mind that comes from knowing you can withstand a major financial hit is huge. My motto? Save for a hurricane, not just a rainy day. Put some money aside. See how you feel when you see the total go from two figures to three. Then four. Imagine it being six or seven figures. It’s attainable. You can start today.\r\n\r\nLet’s focus first on free money. If your employer offers a 401k plan, use it. If it offers a contribution of any kind, take full advantage, so if you save for your retirement, they kick in extra money. When you’re in your 20s, it seems as if you can’t possibly live without that small percentage you’re putting away. The tips and tricks I’m going to give you will make up for that money and then some. Keep reading. There’s money hidden in these paragraphs.\r\n\r\nEnroll in a “keep the change” or equivalent program at your bank. It takes any money you spend on your debit card and automatically puts the change in your savings account. If your purchase is $9.50, $10 will be deducted and 50 cents goes to your savings account. It’s painless and it adds up.\r\n\r\neBates. For reasons I don’t fully understand, if you create an account at ebates.com you get a percentage of your total spend back at qualifying stores. Every quarter you get a check. Tons of stores are included and on holidays the return percentage often increases. I’ve gotten as much as 15 percent back, and that’s before using any sales or promo codes for the store itself. There’s no limit to how much you can get back. If you refer friends, you get more money. Crazy easy. I just got a check for about $100. Cha-ching.\r\n\r\nStore receipt savings. Many store receipts now tally how much you saved after making a purchase. Transfer that amount, or even half of it, to your savings account. If you do it right, the more you spend the more you save. Literally!\r\n\r\nCredit card savings. Look at the cards you use. If you don’t get cash back or miles, switch cards. Google “best credit card programs” and find a card that works for you. Most are either free for the first year or for the life of the card. If it’s only free for a year, cancel at 11 months and get a new one.

The simple act of creating a goal and writing it down doubles your odds of achieving it. Because you probably weren’t paying close attention to your spending before this, chances are you saw a positive difference.\r\n\r\nLet\'s take a deeper look at your spending habits. Is there a correlation between days of the week and the amount you spend? If so, why is that? Perhaps on Mondays your schedule is hectic and you have to eat on the run. Perfect opportunity to brown-bag it. Or, swap out the burger and fries for a slice of pizza. Just as quick and likely less expensive.\r\n\r\nDid you see a spike in spending on Friday and/or Saturday night? Do you have a habit of offering to pay for the first (and second) round of drinks? Next time you go out, let someone else pick up the tab and silently toast the money you saved.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignleft wp-image-757\" title=\"If you didn’t read my previous articles — on tracking spend and determining where your money goes — and you want to master your personal and professional finances, catch up, and then pick up below. Without them, this one on smart spending has less meaning.

Save It For Later: Mindfulness Is The Key To Smart Spending\" width=\"303\" height=\"241\" />Perhaps you worked late one night; so, you slept in a bit later the next day and rushed out the door without eating breakfast. Whammo! Eight dollars on coffee and a muffin that you could have avoided if you had gotten up 15 minutes earlier or packed a banana or muffin from the grocery store.\r\n\r\nDid you notice any correlation between your moods and your spending? Some of us shop when we’re bored. Some of us do it to make ourselves feel better. Some do it to get back at someone who made us feel inadequate, as in, “I’ll show you. I’m worth all this and more.” Pay attention to when you spend and why you spend. This awareness opens the door for different behavior.\r\n\r\nThe goal isn’t to stop spending altogether. It’s unrealistic and it’s bad for the economy. The goal is to be mindful of what you buy and how you feel after making the purchase. Sometimes we don’t use what we bought while upset because it reminds us of the fight we had that prompted us to buy it in the first place. Or we buy junk food to make ourselves feel better when we’re sad, and then get sad because our clothes don’t fit. So we eat more and then have to buy new clothes to boot. It’s healthier and cheaper to gain some perspective, lose some weight and shed some bad habits while you’re at it.\r\n\r\nYou saw how easy it is to identify behavior and take steps to change it. Let’s take it a step further. Note: A profound life change awaits. Take this advice and your life will never be the same. I promise.\r\n\r\nNext, I’ll show you a lot of painless ways to save and how to create your own financial road map with savings goals and a plan for getting there. See you next Monday.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWant to share your experience tracking your spend or ask a question? Email me at: <a href=\"mailto:Christy.Lamagna@strategic.events\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christy.Lamagna@strategic.events</a>.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>Tags: Save It For Later Mindfulness Is The Key To Smart Spending, Saving, Budgets, Budgeting, Smart Spending, Event Planning, Event Budgets, Event Planners, Strategic Planners, Strategic Events, Plan Your Meetings</em>\r\n\r\n[mk_mini_callout]<a href=\"http://planyourmeetings.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-398 size-full\" title=\"Plan Your Meetings\" src=\"https://strategic.events/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Plan-Your-Meetings_250.jpg\" alt=\"Plan Your Meetings\" width=\"250\" height=\"81\" /></a>[/mk_mini_callout]','Save It For Later: Mindfulness Is The Key To Smart Spending','','inherit','closed','closed','','677-revision-v1','','','2018-01-31 21:37:02','2018-01-31 21:37:02','',677,'https://strategic.events/677-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),
