10 tips + 10 weeks = 100 New Methods to Grow Groups–Week 5, Package the package

Just as a waiter would never bring you an ingredients list and say, “Go make it yourself,” a group agent should never present an option list and say, “Go make it yourself.”

There is no better group success strategy than to create a fully-baked package. If you don’t, you’re taking the easy way out (and the easy way to lose business). In boot camp I show you how. First, understand why:

42. Packaging validates your existence and expertise. It is your job to think of everything they didn’t.

43. Packaging elevates the experience from Good to Better to Best. It’s your fault when they have a boring or stressful trip. It’s your fault when it’s the best ever!

44. Packaging makes it a simpler sale. Rather than offering a menu of many items to choose from, you are offering only one: the inclusive package. Don’t confuse consumers with too many options.

45. Packaging reduces stress and risk. You will eliminate the chance of something being sold-out if they wait too long.

46. Packaging increases your profits. You are no longer a commission hostage. You determine mark-ups and margins.

47. Packaging eliminates unnecessary choices. You’ll gain the reputation of being ‘easy-to-do-business-with’ because you reduce stress.

48. Packaging beats the competition. Packaging dissuades prospects from shopping around, and all but eliminates the opportunity for price shopping.

49. Packaging is ideal for creating luxury experiences. Group clients may jump at opportunities that are very special, especially if it is a shared upscale experience.

50. Packaging is easily accomplished within the qualifying stage. Asking the right high mileage questions will define what they don’t want, do want, and wish could be possible.

Who doesn’t love getting a beautifully wrapped package? Packaging is the agent’s ultimate success strategy. Quit procrastinating and get your butt in boot camp for all the packaging steps you’ll ever need to win.
