Free Webinar To Offer Planners Tips For Evaluating Hotel Proposals
On December 8 at 1:00 pm ET, Jennifer Johnson, General Manager and Owner of the Johnson Meetings Group will team up with empowerMINT.com to share "5 Tips for Evaluating Hotel Proposals" in a free webinar.
Online, December 6, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Negotiation is an art form, and successful negotiation requires a planner to have a keen eye and a host of support to get it right, especially when evaluating multiple RFPs for a meeting.
On December 8 at 1:00 pm ET, Jennifer Johnson, General Manager and Owner of the Johnson Meetings Group will team up with empowerMINT.com to share "5 Tips for Evaluating Hotel Proposals" in a free webinar providing meeting professionals with strategies for addressing this key pain point in the meeting planning process.
Hosted by empowerMINT.com, as the featured guest speaker, Johnson will share actionable advice for analyzing incoming hotel offers and making the proposal evaluation process more manageable.
"Preparing, sending, summarizing, evaluating and responding to RFPs and resulting proposals can take so much of a planner's time," commented Johnson. "I have found my CVB partners to be a tremendous asset when trying to do this. Not only do they send out my RFPs, but they will summarize the proposals and send me a synopsis showing a streamlined, apples-to-apples review. Working with a CVB sales team not only helps me better understand their meeting destination, but allows me to focus on other tasks while the CVB gets the hotel information organized."
In addition to discussing how to leverage multiple offers for the best rate, Johnson will share tips she has learned during her 25 year career including how to effectively partner and utilize the free services of a CVB, also known as a destination marketing organization (DMO), to find the best fit for any size meeting.
