It's a collaboration!




  1. " yeah we only need 2 x staff Chris "


  1. " oh were going to use some volunteers "


  1. Ghosted!


These are some of the responses we get from new clients/partners when we are in the proposing phase of commissioning staff.


Guessing the numbers


New clients/ partners sometimes come with a pre conceived ideas on how many staff they need for their event.


Wave Staffing calculate on a number of vectors including:


  • Amount of guests

  • Time frames for elements to happen ( cloakroom, dinner service etc)

  • Expertise

  • Working with 3rd parties

  • Overall management of the event

  • Visitor / Guest experience

  • Logistics


Going with a cheap option


Volunteers are good until their desire has been satisfied. Trust us.


Example: At festivals volunteers are great until they have seen the band they wanted to see and after that their performance decreases by 50% or more.



Don't ghost communicate!


You've had an initial conversation about staffing an event and after the proposal has been received the client then they ghost us!


Why?


  • scared of coming back to say we are too expensive

  • too busy

  • they don't understand how costs have been calculated (as per above points)


Conclusion


  • Client asks for a quote

  • Client makes a decision purely on commercials of the event

  • Doesn't appreciate the rationale of the proposal

  • Goes down a different route

  • Delivers a bad customer experience for their guests/visitors

  • Doesn't enjoy the event because they now have to manage staff

  • Don't understand that they have delivered a bad event

  • Won't come back to us to admit their mistake!


Talk to us and understand why you should collaborate with Wave Staffing for your next event.
