 “Becky Youngman, President-Elect of the Florida Foreign Language Association, needed a few competitive hotel quotes for the 2006 FFLA Annual Conference.To speed the process and ensure that it reached properties that were the best match, she used the “RFP Valet™” process on ConventionPlanit.com.“The RFP Valet™ was extremely valuable to me in selecting a property,” Youngman says. “ConventionPlanit.com provided personalized service to match my needs with the best properties available according to my specifications.”
Sara Pitts of United Healthcare was equally grateful for the service.
“Thank you for all of your help,” she said after using the RFP Valet™ process. “I have over 26 properties from Arizona that have responded. Your service has been a tremendous help; I wish I had used you from the beginning because it would have saved me a lot of time! I will keep ConventionPlanit.com in mind the next time I need to gather proposals from multiple hotels.”
A new feature recently introduced on ConventionPlanit.com, the RFP Valet™ process is easy. A meeting professional fills out the RFP Valet™ form on the Web site, submits it, and quickly receives a phone call from a ConventionPlanit.com executive. The executive reviews the requirements listed in the RFP, asks a few key questions about the needs of the organization, and works with the planner to identify selected properties likely to meet the criteria. The meeting planner provides permission to send the RFP to each facility, bureau or service provider identified on the Web site.
ConventionPlanit.com also makes sure that the RFP is not duplicated in the market. But the process doesn’t end there. The ConventionPlanit.com team follows up to ensure that the right person received the RFP and is providing the planner with rates and availability, a formal proposal, or declines to bid on the business.
“The RFP Valet™ process puts buyers and sellers together and ensures that each lead is qualified,” explains ConventionPlanit.com Co-Founder David Markham. “Advertisers on our web portal pay an annual listing fee, therefore, ConventionPlanit.com receives no commissions nor are there any hidden fees for planners to worry about when processing RFPs online. We choose to offer meeting professionals this ‘valet’ service because there is a real need in the market for refining RFPs and providing personalized service. Meeting professionals appreciate it and return to ConventionPlanit.com repeatedly for a wide range of meeting needs.”
Meeting professionals can access this service by visiting www.conventionplanit.com and clicking on “RFP Valet™.” “ |
