This powerful one-day Workshop will demonstrate dozens of proven, effective methods to improve the way you organise and promote corporate functions, weddings, birthdays, sporting events and group bookings - large and small.

Functions can be a great way to boost club profits. Here's the workshop you need to get the best return from your facilities. There are many things you can do to manage functions more efficiently and achieve better results. Some can happen immediately!

In most areas, clubs have the largest and best facilities, but they are often under-utilised and hired out for bargain prices. You can offer great value and achieve a much better return!

For function and catering managers, sales staff and organisers.

Topics covered in the workshop will include:

* Current trends in the function, event and wedding market - keep up or be left behind
* Designing profitable function menus and beverage packages
* Competing with other function venues - essential facilities and services
* Marketing your venue and promoting functions - what works (and what doesn't)
* Understanding and profiting from the wedding market
* Managing the sales process from first inquiry to final feedback
* Using the internet, email and software more effectively
* Handling price negotiations when everyone wants to 'do a deal'
* The role of sales staff and function co-ordinators
* Training and managing function staff - the special skills and knowledge required
