Selling recruitment and staffing services to employers to event planners

Event planners range from freelance wedding planners to agencies running conferences and corporate events. They book venues, suppliers and technology on behalf of clients, so they are both buyers and gatekeepers for many other businesses.

Recruitment agencies win new employer clients by spotting companies that are hiring and reaching out to offer help. Keeping those employers in your own lead database lets you track conversations and return to them when new roles open.

The event planners that need recruitment and staffing services to employers are listed publicly. What most recruitment agencies lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What recruitment agencies run into with event planners

Employer prospects sit in personal inboxes and spreadsheets of each consultant.

Put every employer into one shared database with unlimited users on the account.

You forget which companies already said they had no need right now.

Tags and notes on each contact record exactly what was said and when.

Planners are on site at events and slow to reply.

Open tracking shows who read your mail, so a short follow-up goes only to the interested ones.

Wedding planners and corporate planners are mixed in one list.

Tag event types and save a filter per type.

How to open a mail to event planners

Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets event planners to click.

  • Show how you make their events run smoother and make them look good to their clients.
  • Share examples from similar events, with details on logistics and timing.
  • Offer to be their reliable backup for last minute needs, which planners value highly.
