    Stop Telling People What To Do!
    There seems to be a feeling that the answer to our performance measurement, incentive and ownership problems lie in what we do to the workforce.If what we do now to the workforce is not working then we have to change what we "Do" to the workforce.My experience indicates that the problems are not caused by what we "Do" to the workforce, they are caused by the mindset t
    In a company of 25 people; putting on a marketing event and charging an entry fee could give the event administrator a severe headache. Patricia Thomson was in this position only last week. Her “normal” job of Marketing Assistant still had to run while she organized the seminars and she realized she could be handling hundreds of enquiries over the period. This was their first venture into this type of event and the company's accounts department was not really set up for a mass influx of small payments.

    The registration and payment procedure that you use should be as professional as you can make it. This fairly small part of the overall event paints a very vivid picture to your delegates of your capability and will be their first evidence of how the whole event experience is likely to be. If you handle this phase flawlessly, you may be excused small hiccups along the way. Make a mess of things here and your delegates will start marking your report card with red ink. The registration procedure

    Take some time with your administrative staff to draw up a detailed process that should be followed consistently by anyone who takes a booking. Please don't just hand them a procedure that you have designed because you will end up shouldering the responsibility for any mistakes that are made down the line. If the process is co-owned by everyone involved, they will feel more motivated to change the process to ensure that the same mistakes are not repeated.

    A typical procedure will consider all of the following:

    • How will bookings be taken?

    • By mail

    Converting Casual Contacts into Business Contracts
    Frankly, most professionals don't give a damn about how to network, because they try and sell who they are and what they do based on past success - assuming this will open doors and business. However by selling rather than marketing, many people just simply walk away with no benefit or potential outcome. Consequently events become nothing short of boring and a general waste of time

    • Will payments be accepted using bank transfer, credit card, business and/or personal check?

    • How frequently will the event managers and the event caterers require updates on booking statistics and delegate details?

    Patricia took one look at the checklist and started researching online booking agents immediately. She reasoned that the workload necessary to do a first class job would probably entail bringing in a temp and training him/her to do the job that the online booking agent could handle easily. The cost of having a temp in their already cramped office and the thought of designing a system, training them to use it and finding work for them to do when the phone wasn't ringing was already giving her that headache. She also decided that the cach ? of being able to offer round-the-clock facilities for credit card booking and also a 24 hour telephone answering service would impress their intended delegates.

    This week the bookings are rolling in.
