Education is Key


Today we spent the day at Receptions Banquet Facility in Fairfield, OH taking in a seminar hosted by Perfect Wedding Guide called The Wedding Institute.

Cecilia Rose of Eventurous taught the first session about Raving Fans. You know when you've had an experience so amazing you just can't NOT tell someone about it. Have you been a raving fan? It made me think about one of our anniversary trips to the Weller Haus Bed and Breakfast in KY. We had such a wonderful time that we left there telling everyone they absolutely must go there... we were RAVING FANS. It then made me think too about the clients father I had that after a particularly hard last week before the wedding got up during the reception and thanked me personally in front of all of the guests and made me stand for an applause. I was mortified and hoped that would never happen again... but I had created a raving fan.

She challenged me to work towards creating a customer service experience for my clients that is amazing everytime. This can only be achieved through knowing myself and who my clients are. I'm working towards finding this balance and the poor notebook is going to be on fire from all of my note taking and plans for the future.

The Second session was taught by Gene from LGH Designs and/or Details and Designs in Indianapolis, IN. He was just a fun guy but super knowledgable when it comes to event design. He has been in the business for a long time and has built some wonderful contacts and partnerships. His session was intended to teach us how to maximize profit... but I gleaned something totally different.

He inspired me to look into partnerning with businesses to provide services to clients. I have been interested all along in branching into floral design... but knew I would need a ton more education and was really unsure about stocking and cooling etc. We'll be spending the next little bit looking to form a partnership with a florist where hand in hand can provide the florals through another company. This way my design ideas can come through!

I have much to do to get things where I'd like them to go... but I'll keep plugging. Thanks to Perfect Wedding Guide http://www.perfectweddingguide.com/ Cecilia Rose http://www.eventurous.com/ and Gene from Details and Design www.detailsanddesigns.com
for a great day!
