CRM for Event Planning

Executing an event takes business, marketing, and creative skills. Whether you organize celebratory, commemorative, promotional, or for-profit events, it takes months of brainstorming and planning. Depending on the size and type of event, the number of vendors and back-of-house workers needed will vary. Coordinating all members of staff and guaranteeing guests can enjoy the event can be difficult without a set organization system.

Using CRM software can help keep all company, contact, and opportunity records organized in one place along with all workflow and communication functions. Prophet CRM is an industry-leading CRM that is integrated with Microsoft Outlook for ease of use and lack of disruption in your current workflow. Prophet allows you to only use one software program to gather information, track business, manage communications, set appointments, and view performance statistics. Prophet CRM will allow you to plan the event your client is imagining, oversee staff and vendors, and keep your data organized.

Sealing the deal with a lead comes after endless hours of meetings and consulting, brainstorming, and work, but your job is not committed until the paperwork is signed.
