Venue sales legends do more than hit goals. They build machines. But how do you translate what comes naturally into something teachable, scalable, and repeatable for your team?
Join venue sales leaders, Margaret, Yvette, Lauren & Casey, as they pull back the curtain on what makes their sales machines tick. This isn't about scripts; it's about transferable instincts. You'll learn how to break down your personal magic into a method your team can learn and replicate.
We'll share the behaviors, thought processes, micro-decisions, and coaching methods that have built sales armies specializing in venues and in-house catering. You'll walk away ready to build internal bench strength, reduce burnout, and finally stop being the only one who "just knows how to sell the venue."
Because we do, and you can too.
