MenuHow or where can I go to find out which companies have annual company retreats for staff and how much they spend for it?
My event company targets corporate retreats
Answers
I would directly contact a list of companies and try to get a direct answer. Of course, you can try googling since you can find just about anything on the web. Give me a call for more advice.
Hi
These would be the common methods:
1. Contact them directly - but make sure you offer something in your email that makes it worth their while to answer your questions.
2. Run a paid/free survey (lots of platforms offer this service - just focus on your target market). If it's a free survey, offer a prize (and give it) to one of the participants.
3. Try using Google Alerts for variations of the phrase "company retreat"
Obviously you would need to know what you are doing with each of the above options so that your results are accurate. The wording in each question is important.
I've successfully helped over 300 entrepreneurs and I'd be happy to help you as well.
Good luck
Social media is the best bet for finding the company name but getting hold of spend is a little tricky.
I can help if you wish to go for a call.
I am assuming that you are in the corporate retreat management business?
If yes, I would start within your own geography since you'll probably have to do face-to-face selling and onsite delivery. I would target companies with 500+ employees. Within those companies, try to get to HR and any internal event planners. Companies with a large, active sales force is also a good target. Even is business is down, sales meetings are the last thing to go.
Set-up a call and I can get into more specifics once I learn more about what your company offers.

Can you recommend an event ticketing service that you prefer over Eventbrite?
Ticket Tailor is an online ticketing platform with no per-ticket fees. Instead it's a monthly fee from just $25 (or £15) / month (and I'm the founder). It's really easy to use, you can embed your box office in to your website, and it works with PayPal and/or Stripe for taking payments so you get paid directly.

How can I find ideas to keep people inside my booth in an event?
What you want to do is create a relationship with that new potential customer. People can only oo and ah for so long, so what you want to do is create a compelling offer to bring them in. This is why candy and treats often work. Whatever it is, make it instantly satisfying and memorable (homemade cookies, perhaps?). Then strike up a conversation about your product or service. Just remember to always keep the potential customer in mind.TB

New COO clashing with two most important veteran employees
Almost all my clients have the same issue as yours. So your challenges are not unique. While making positive business progress is a wonderful thing, external growth must come with relevant similar pace of internal growth. It seems that you are using the same old management approach/ style despite your business has grown from 1 or 2 people into current size. It is no more purely a number game now, mismanaging people will lead to loss of knowledge, valuable customer, profits, and growth potential. Your backyard is having fire currently means your internal support team is having some challenges and you may have uneven growth in some business functions - immediately you should investigate the following areas: 1. Review your management approach/ style and system 2. Review whether you are capable to manage C-level employees. 3. Review your human capital policies and culture diversity 4. Review, whether you have clear/ appropriate a) accountabilities, b) roles and responsibilities, c) committed budget, d) monitoring and control system, e) KPIs, etc 5. Revisit your mission/ vision/ expectations, adjust if necessary. 6. Review workflows and communication models to identify what has triggered the conflict(s). I think the above should help. Upon making the reviewing, you may already have action plans. If you still have problems, feel free to drop me a messageJQ

There is a person working with you who has great skills but doesn't fit the culture, how far would you go with trying to help this person to change?
Backwards. I'd make sure that person didn't stay in the company. "One dirty fish muddies the whole pond" It's not personal or malicious - they're just not the right fit. A great skill set, while very important is always secondary to cultural fit if you really want your company to flourish.KM

How do you handle an employee that's proving to be a poor culture fit?
Your Team will have a direct impact on whether or not you will succeed as a business. I know exactly how hard it can be, especially when peoples lives are in your hands. Even more so if you outsource, outsourcing might seem cheap by our standards but that money goes a long way overseas, so usually one employee is paying for their entire family back home in their village. But you as a boss have a responsibility to all your staff, each one of them relies on you and a poor employee that lets the team down, is letting the company down and putting every at risk. Selecting your team is one of the most important parts of any startup You have not only invested your money, but your time and your life. If someone has getting in the way of that, and you have given them every opportunity to improve. You cant feel bad, you need to remove them and rehire. When you have the right person you will know. A motivated and hardworking employee will work for the business and not for their pay check.KA
