Inquiries & Price Shoppers

Wedding season is fast approaching! Jan & Feb are the months for price shopping and email inquiries! This is the time to really sell your business and book the right clients. Right now business owners are receiving the popular questions as: How much? Are you available for this specific date? Website? Location? Rules/Regulations/Contracts/Payment Plans? It is very important to have your business ready. Sometimes you only get one chance or opportunity and you have to make the best of it. Your email response, consultation, and customer service can make or break the deal! Here are tips for this high volume time for inquiries and price shoppers:


  • Make sure your website, contact information, content on website, pricing, and service and product information are updated. Also updated on business cards. When potential clients are shopping, they want consistent and immediate answers. If they don't see it or receive it, they will move on to the next business.
  • Respond to emails or phone call within 24hrs! People say 24-48 hrs, i say 24hrs! You know how many other businesses they contact in 48hrs? You can lose the sale! Don't make the excuse i was busy doing this and that. Your potential  client can be your next client! One of the biggest compliments i receive for Selections Entertainment is my timely manner of getting back to them. Trust me, people remember that!
  • Proper customer service. It is so important how you speak and react to a client. That sets the t for eoneverything. You can even tell a business owner tone on how they respond to an email.
I hope these tips will help you with your transitioning of inquiries to booked clients!

Reflecting On 2010 As a Business Owner

As 2010 comes to a close i wanted to reflect on this year as a business owner. I'm sure many can relate to this and i hope you enjoy! Going into 2010 i was very excited! I had a great successful year in 2009 and i just knew it was going to be a repeat! Boy did i have a rude awakening! I was on a natural high from the wonderful new years party i had with an attendance of over 400 people, i was saying to myself oh this is a piece of cake! I started the year off with vol.2 of Speak Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace relationship forum.. Great crowd but of coarse i wanted my events to improve. I continued to step out the box with my other events such as the wine tastings, sex,sassy,& classy, my debut of desire desserts vol. 1 & 2, business mingles, spades tournament, and how can we forget two speed dating events! While all this was going on i continued my weekly radio show great minds think alike, book club Imaginable Minds, and continued with my catering services. Through all

Planning Vs. Coordination

Business owners are you ready for more business and consultations for the 2015-2016 wedding/event season? Clients are you engaged or planning a party or event? Well this article is for you! Many people use the terms: planning, coordination, organization, timelines, etc... Do you know the difference with these words and the type of services you are looking for ? Let Selections Entertainment help you out! Planning: Many people misinterpret wedding and event planning with other terminologies such as coordination. Planning  is more detailed, more work and more structure. Potential clients will contact us and say they need a coordinator but they really need a planner.

How Important Is The Word Support?

In our everyday lives we use the word support for many reasons. We encourage and support ourselves and others.  In today's society technology has taken over with twitter, myspace and facebook and many people hide behind that wonderful computer screen for marketing purposes for their business or personal use.  Eventhough in society we shouldn't look for someone's approval but support really runs a long way.  Are the majority of people really there and supporting you or are they just putting together a bunch of words on social media websites to make you sound or look good and deep down inside they are not really happy for you?  There are so many so called businesses on these sites.  Please take the time to get to know someone when conducting business and creating ideas together.  There's a difference when meeting so called business owners on the web and meeting them in person.
