Event Sales Techniques for the Hospitality Industry
Hospitality businesses in 2021 are going to need to improve their sales strategies to drive event bookings and revenue. That’s why two of Tripleseat’s Hospitality Event Sales and Marketing Seminar sessions were dedicated to sales techniques.
This seminar — which also includes sessions on inbound and outbound marketing techniques — was created with event sales and restaurant marketing managers in mind, but other marketers, as well as restaurant owners and general managers, can benefit from learning the principles involved in this approach to sales enablement. Getting attention via marketing is a good start, but you have a few more steps until customers and prospects book their events. These two sessions will tell you how to make the sale.

Inbound and outbound marketing helps to cultivate leads, but you’re not done yet. Get expert advice in the recording below on how to sell your restaurant the right way.

Closing the Deal
