All aspects of selling to all future brides, and potential customers, involve touring the event space. Three to five scheduled tours every Saturday and Sunday, getting every detail for their perfect day. Selecting dates, putting together the menu, estimating guest counts, and coming up with a cost for the events at the closing, and entering it into the Triple Seat software so the Wedding Coordinator has all the information from the tour. I booked 65 weddings in less than 2 years.

Objection and Goals
I am hard working multi tasker that helps me balance 2 part time jobs (the ad sales for Local Town Pages is not even 10 hours a week) I am looking to seek a position that is part time and remote. I am seasonal at Crystal Lake and not working December - April of which I am only employed 21 hours in full season as well which is how I have the time to embrace another position and much needed stream of income.
