Subscriber Comments I
got a nice 2-day meeting booked from responding to one of the leads
you sent. It is such a good program! Thank you for all you do! "Louis
developed an innovative and powerful e-marketing sales tool that was
responsible for increasing my sales conversion rate to almost 80%.
Anyone who has a service to sell would benefit from his sales e-sales
packet tools. He has extraordinary customer service skills, consistently
responds within 24 hours and always provides added value above what
he promises!" “Louis
has been a great partner to the Red Lion Hotel. His willingness to
try new ideas and quickly implement them has assisted us greatly in
promoting our product to current and potential clients. I would recommend
his services to anyone who is looking for web based alternatives to
promote their product. His response to our requests has been immediate,
which allows us to promote our changes in real time.” “The
Hotel has had the opportunity to work with Mr. Godin for several years
now. The product and services provided are outstanding and allow for
us to deliver information electronically to our Clients in minutes.
It's easy to work with him, I email a change and it's done immediately.
Cost effective as well. One of the best kept secrets around!” “I've
worked with Louis since January, 2008. He educated me quickly on his
HotelEPacket.com. It is easy to use and my clients are impressed with
my personalized e-sales packet. Having this product has saved me hours
in sending out proposals. I noted that Louis was punctual at each
step of the process......I recently sent him a new catering menu and
he had it up and on the web in less than an hour!!! He is crazy fast!
I feel like I have known him for years.....he is so easy to work with.
What a gem!!!!” “I
have worked with Louis over a number of years. He is a pleasure to
work with. Very quick and efficient. Extremely knowledgeable with
building and customizing website's.” As a
result of being placed on webeventplanner.com ~ the Hotel E-Packet
Plan, within the first week of being listed here, I was able to secure
a very nice Contract with a Group (Association Group) for July &
also a larger Contract for November! Thanks Louis! Dear
Louis, Thank you again for the personalized training yesterday on
the HotelEPacket.com programs, I was so excited to present it to the
TEAM. They all went "WOW" when they saw it on the screen.
You are simply the BEST! A Million Thank You's! Warmest Regards I enjoyed
your phone presentation yesterday and can’t wait to get set
up with the new upgrades. Thanks
again.... We love your sales tool products and services! You
are going to love this tool! I sent out three proposals on Wednesday
with this program, they were so impressed with how quickly we responded
with everything they needed. The Silver Summit is coming for a site
this Sunday for a big conference September. This definitely is working.
Meredith
From Meredith Haverfield DOS Red Lion Templin's to Dennis Porter DOS Red Lion Salt Lake I’m
so ashamed of myself for never even wishing you a happy holiday or
a great New Year! I’ve been SO BUSY!!!! And you’ve been
sending me some great leads. I so love your product! You never
cease to amaze me with your efficiency! Thank you for your prompt
response and implementation of the information that I sent just. Thank
you for all that you do for us! Louis,
WOW you mean business, that was quick!! It looks great, thank you
so much The
Customized E-Packets program is great... I have been using them and
they are Thanx
so much, Louis!! Thanx for making our jobs so easy for our clients!!
WOW...YOU
ARE FAST!!!! Looks GREAT! Thanks for ALL your help in making this
site wonderful... I truly appreciate you!!! "HotelEPacket.com"
has saved us considerable money in printing and in postage. The fact
of money saved is always worth repeating, however HotelEPacket.com
has also added greatly to our top line! Our electronic sales kits
are always current and can be updated within 24 hours thanks to the
outstanding service and support of Louis and his team. We have our
material in the hands of the meeting planner in seconds, not days
and at no postage, printing or travel costs. I do not believe that
our hotel sales and catering sales teams could sell as effectively
if it were not for our electronic sales and catering material. I love this tool more than anything else we are working with!! I will continue to have Rebecca and Cory send you updated information and some of our Concierge information that Tyler Smith is working on. WE LOVE IT! Use us as a reference anytime. I had sent sample proposals to our DOS in Spokane, our National Sales Director, Stacie Harper, in Spokane and also the Regional DOS, Chuck Carter. I think you will have other properties coming on soon. Let me know if you need any of their contact information. Thank you! Meredith Meredith
Haverfield - Red Lion Templin's - Director of Sales & Marketing
"Your service has turned out to be a very valuable commodity
to myself and my colleagues. Aside from its low cost, your flexibility
with changes and updates allow us to keep our information current,
and expose any new changes that may occur. The ability to e-mail a
brochure to clients is becoming invaluable, and WebEventPlanner makes
this very simple for us as well as the recipient. Thank you again
for providing us with such a valuable tool." "Just
a quick note to let you know how pleased I've been with our affiliation
with your and HotelEPacket.com.
Since the opening of our hotel in 2001 our primary focus has been
on marketing our UNIQUE Historical Residence Inn by Marriott. Needless
to say it has been a job to find a means to market to the masses in
an affordable manner. I was introduced to you by our corporate regional
manager in Denver. Since the day of my first telephone call to you
I have been in awe of your attention to detail, your creative ideas
and your timeliness to all our suggestions and questions. You are
a patient man Louis! I love sending my clients to view my site, (with
my own domain name), to see all the wonderful things you've designed
for us. It has been the BEST marketing tool I've ever worked with.
No more waiting for the brochure inventory to run out before I can
make updates to my collateral. It is also an awesome tool to have
our catering menus on line for our clients to view, and menus we can
change with the touch of a key. Thank you again for all your efforts
in helping our Residence Inn! I look forward to a very long relationship
with HotelEPacket.com" You
are going to love this tool! I sent out three proposals on Wednesday
with this information, they were so impressed with how quickly we
responded with everything they needed. The Silver Summit is coming
for a site this Sunday for a big conference September 05. This definetly
is working.
Thank you! Meredith Meredith Haverfield DOS Red Lion Templin's to Dennis Porter DOS Red Lion Salt Lake Louis

I faxed over the names for the proposals. Also, attached are a variety
of intros. Will you be emailing me over some access info and the next
step. Sorry, I didn’t review everything, but let me know what
I need to do to get started. The samples looked great. Congrats on
your ideas. Have
just had a chance to review the Hotel E-Packet - Customized. Great
tool! Denise,
I think this could be a great tool. The tutorial was very thorough
and easy to understand, the "Terms of Agreement" are straight
forward (Denise Solomon should review) and the end product (proposals)
are very professional and appear very easy for a client to navigate.
The cost for the possible return is minimal in my opinion. Where do
we go from here? Thanks
Louis ~ looks great!!! Thank
you for your prompt assistance once again..... Best Regards, Thanks
Louis! We love this program! Just a few format glitches but if we
build some templates and get them to work without spacing problems
we'll be really happy. I am sending an example over to our Spokane
Red Lion sales offices because I can't believe they aren't using this
- IT IS AWESOME! Thank
you so much for your prompt response. The website looks great! We
are very excited! Everything
else looks fabulous. You're Awesome!!! Thank you very much!!! Thanks
Louis, This is great... You are the BEST !! Looking forward to talking
with you more. I will be sending you additional info as soon as I
get it. You are
the BEST!! Thank you so much... I really appreciate it... Again
thanks for the great service that you provide us. It looks
PERFECT! Thanks Louis and it's exciting to see how fast you were able
to make the changes. Very much appreciated! You're
the BEST! You made
our day here at the sales department - Thank you Hello
Louis! Thank you so much for starting this - I am pleased we were

phone tag!! I will send the additional information off to you today,

"My
sales team now utilizes this site when we are talking on the phone
to our clients who are booking groups. While on the phone we do our
site inspection utilizing our WebEventPlanner.com site. While doing
this we noticed we needed to add more information. (you should see
our e-packet monthly totals really increase)" "Louis,
just wanted to let you know that I have started the payment process
for WEP. We have found the site (Hotel E-Packet) most helpful to us
in our marketing/ sales effort." Before
the Hilton & Doubletree had E-Packets, they communicated their
sales & catering packet information to prospective clients mostly
via fax, and some mail. Now they use their E-Packets 98% of the time
by sending their E-Packet link out in an email to prospects. In addition,
having to communicate via fax & mail was much slower and cut them
out of the running for a lot of business. Now they can get their information
out immediately and thus are receiving the business they couldn't
previously. "I'm
working on putting a few things together for you, some other stuff
coming, also, Interlocken still very interested, I'm forwarding what
we have so far so they can see it. The staff here is really jazzed.
You do terrific work." "We
had purchased a site comparable to WEP's Electronic Sales Kit from
a Hilton preferred vendor for more than five times the price of WEP's
product, The preferred vendor marketed our hotel's information as
having no meeting facilities, and further offered no compensation
for this error. I was, therefore, more than skeptical when I contacted
WEP at the request of our regional Vice President of Sales and Marketing,
Kristal Eckley. The difference in service, however, was clear from
the start. My Electronic Sales Kit was completed by WEP within 24
hours, the information was accurate, and there were no hidden charges.
I can't say enough about what a positive experience it was working
with WEP." "Thank
you so much you are the GREATEST...." "Hello
Jennifer and Louis, Hope all is going well with you! Things here are
crazy. I need your help again....We made some office changes and I
wanted to add a package to the "Special Package section".
Thank you :) We love the site and so do our clients ! Thank you both
for your constant assistance to us ! You both are good people!"
"Thank
you soooo much! You are faster than lightning!" "Wow
again!!!!!! :) You guys are fast................. Thank you so very
much.... It looks totally great..... We will start utilizing the program.
Do we need to do anything else at this point. Can we add our Valentine
Package? As we go through the system, as we need I will send you over
changes..... Thanks for making us look great !" "WOW
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like we are getting into
the 21st century ! Thank you so very much....It looks great......
AGAIN THANK YOU IN MAKING OUR JOB EASIER :)" "Thank
you for the update. I appreciate everything you and Louis are doing
for us. We are excited about the E-Brochure. Any questions, please
contact me. Thank you !" "You
are awesome! Thank you so much. Enjoy your Holidays, & till next
year." "Thanks
for the prompt response, you guys are great!" How are
you doing? We appreciate all of your work on the site." "Thanks
for all your help and assistance. You are GREAT to work with. Have
a nice evening!!!!! "Jennifer, Thank you so much!!!! YOU ARE
WONDERFUL........" "Thank
you. I appreciate how fast you always take care of us!" "Hi
Jennifer - WOW that was fast - Thank you very much!!" "Thanks
for the update. Actually I was there two weeks ago and we spent one
afternoon role playing and actually going through the steps. We had
the computer on big screen so that we could all follow along. I think
that it helped really maximize the value of your site. I will continue
this exercise as I am in the hotels." "Yes,
the Wedding Show needs to be removed. Thank you for your prompt attention.
You are always so helpful. Have a good day!!!!" "I
tell Alison every chance I get how wonderful your group is to me. "You're
the best-TKS" "Thank
you...Thank you...Thank you!!! It looks great!!" "I
love the upgraded site....y'all rock! " "Louis,
I don't think it gets any better." "Looks
great Louis! Thanks. So glad you are constantly looking at ways to
make these sites better!" "Wow,
this looks great! I will be in my office this afternoon after 2:30
for the rest of the day. Why don’t you call between 3:00 and
4 my time if that works for you. Looking forward to speaking with
you! " "Can't
tell you what a terrific response we've had to the product. Great
job!" "Thanks
Candace, we have already been doing this for quite some time and it
seems to be working well. Louis is a gem to work with. " "Candace:
We love our WebEventPlanner. Everyone in the sales/catering department
is using this on their e-mail. It’s a great tool. I love to
use it when I send proposals; its great!" "Hi!
We love the site. Most of the time we can go over things while on
the phone... "You
have been most helpful over the past year with creating and updating
our WebEvent website. Your service has been impeccable and responsive.
I truly appreciate it and would refer you to anyone who asks. " "THE
SAGE THING SURE WORKED OUT, DIDN'T IT LOUIS? I sure talked you up
at the DOS conference recently. Everyone asked me because I was on
and I love you guys. Super info you're passing on. Thanks for everything.
I'll be getting this info back to you soon." "Louis,
I am in our meeting but wanted to thank you for getting all of our
hotels on line. It was great and our General Managers were very impressed!
" "I
just sent out my first Email with your site on it and asked them to
click and review the menus. Thanks Louis" "Thank
you for all your expertise!" "Thanks
for the speedy work in getting this site set up. I don't think I've
ever seen something get done so quickly! Other than the few minor
changes I'll send to you, the site looks great! We are really excited
about it." "We
are definitely seeing a decline in the mailing of packets and our
customers really find the site useful. Thanks for everything... " "You
have made our lives easier and more productive and that's a good thing!" "This
looks fabulous. I need to review more closely, but man you guys are
quick and great!" "Thanks,
you guys are terrific. " "You
are awesome! Thank you so much for the quick turnaround. I will review
with my staff this morning to see if they want to make any changes.
" "Louis,
it looks great, well done, staff and clients love it for its convenience." "The
Web site looks fantastic. Mr. Thackray has a few changes and I need
to look at the menus in depth to let you know about those. Thank you
very much." "It's
absolutely marvelous! Everything looks great, very appealing except
the restaurant is now Ginger Bar and Grill not Balentine's. Other
than that, it's perfect. Hope to capture more leads. Thank you so
much." |

Dear Hotel Professional:
Over a year ago I was approached by WebEventPlanner.com to offer my prospective clients Sales and Catering information via email link rather than mailing information to them. I was very excited with this opportunity and had very high expectations. To say the least, I was not disappointed.
Our sales kit consumption has gone down by at least 30%. In a typical year we average about 1000 sales kit mailed. Our cost to produce, handle and ship one sales kit is around $12.00. I am looking at a $3,600.00 reduction on my Marketing Budget this year alone, and expect more of a cost savings in the years to come.
Not only am I saving money each year, I am able to send information in a matter of seconds to my clients rather than having them wait 2-3 days for the information to be received by mail, or having to pay the high cost to overnight information. We are able to email existing clients updated information and special promotions in the time it would take to stuff 25 sales kits. We continue to get positive response from our clients. They love the easy accessibility of our information, and the speed at which it can be obtained.
Our site was up and running quickly. I like the fact that I can make changes, add special promotions and update our menus throughout the year keeping our sales kit information up-to-date in real time. It is a pleasure to work with WebEventPlanner.com. Their knowledge of the Internet along with their background in the Hospitality Industry has changed the way I sell my hotel.
I would recommend WebEventPlanner.com to any hotel looking to offer clients quick access to sales information, or to any hotels looking for new ways to reduce their Sales and Marketing Budget each year.
