Event Sales Consultant
Users finding the Event Options website have been the driving factor leading to the 300% growth from pre-covid levels. The Event Sales Consultant will be directly responsible for continuing that pace by managing inbound sales and turning them into confirmed business for Event Options.
Event Options is an event and production company that also has an online marketplace with event rental items which eliminates the need to shop all over town for an event - think Expedia for event rentals. We are laser focused on driving Event Options to reach its potential of disrupting the entire event industry ecosystem. Our goal is to become the nationally recognized go to brand for the rental of event products and services. Currently there is no national event company.
Background
When sourcing for the best products and services for a particular event, it can often take days and multiple requests for suppliers to eventually provide clients with the specs on the items they own – prices, quantity, colors, sizes, materials, pictures. Event planners would then need to navigate all the different pricing formulas including multi-day rates, minimum order amounts, delivery fees and more. Days are spent reviewing and consolidating all the information from various sources - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDFs, emails, and websites – to choose the ideal items for a client.
At Event Options, we eliminate those inefficiencies for the entire event ecosystem. We aggregate all of the inventory from multiple suppliers in each market, providing our customers with all the data they need to search for perfect items for their event. Our simple to use website allows our customers to:
• Shop from 1000s of items and select the best products for their particular event
• Benefit from pricing transparency – our rental prices are the same as the suppliers, no markup.
• Order items at their convenience for multiple events, 24/7, using our event cart
• Utilize one company for all the items needed for their event, regardless of the number of suppliers.
It is our goal to make the search, ordering and delivery of event products and services seamless, convenient and at the lowest cost possible.
