Quick version: I know how to negotiate with venues because I’ve been in the industry for over 16 years.
Longer version: One of my clients sent me the quote for Internet, power, and labor from the on-site AV team. It was for over $20,000. I took a look at it for five minutes and was able to point it out obvious things that we’re not needing or can negotiate for. I let my client know what our leverage points are, what to say, and after one back-and-forth, the on-site team sent a revised version for just under $8000
If you are running an event it’s so valuable to have someone on your team that knows the industry. Friends don’t let friends get screwed over, so send this to someone that is hosting an event and wants a team that actually has their best interest in mind.
Blessings! 🤟🏽🎶❤️🔥🎤
