I asked 20 event sales pros what’s stressing them out…

It wasn’t leads.

It was:
Last-minute chaos
Getting ghosted
No time to follow up

Do you feel the same?

Great tours
Strong brand

But here’s the problem…
While you’re waiting for them to “come back,”

When I audit a venue’s pipeline, I usually see something like this.

40 inquiries
3 bookings

That’s a 7.5% conversion rate.

A strong venue should be closer to 20–30%.

Before you spend more money on marketing…

Look at your pipeline.

Week One of the Venue Sales Cohort is about getting brutally clear on:
– how buyers choose venues
– where you win (and lose) against competitors
– which “event-value triggers” actually move the needle

About the cohort:
This is a 6-week, small-group venue cohort designed for sales teams and leaders who want real traction—not theory.
• Live weekly group chats
• Weekly homework + action items
• Real-world application you can use that week

New series alert 👀
One-Liner of the Week is officially a thing.

Every week, I’m sharing one email line you can steal, tweak, and actually use in your sales process—no fluff, no “just checking in,” no desperation energy. These are mean to be used alone - not a part of a 3 paragraph email.

This week’s one-liner lives in the Contacting stage 👇
“Before I send details, can you share an estimated guest count?”

Why it works:
It moves the conversation forward

*Yes you might already have tis information - confirm it man

Goal = response.
Response = conversation.
Conversation = momentum.

Save it. Use it. Come back next week for another one.
