“How
can I do more with less?” is a frequently heard cry across the business
world in today’s economy. Outsourcing may well be the answer. A good
meeting and event planner can save your company far more than you will
save by trying to do the job in-house, using inexperienced personnel.
Your core competencies are your most important consideration – your
business or your life. Paragon’s core competencies, event planning,
compliment yours. Thus you bring together the Ying and the Yang to
achieve a complete balance. My partnership with you will allow you to
focus on what you do best.
Professional planners work from a base of education, experience and
intuition. I have a thorough knowledge and understanding of what is
required to envision the whole event and create something that will meet
your objectives. I know where you can cut corners and where you cannot.
I also have buying-power by working with vendors in the hospitality
industry all the time.
Why does hiring a planner make sense?
√
Fewer volunteers are willing to
take on long-term, complex tasks – they have their own busy schedules.
√
Employees do not have the time to
devote to events as events are usually add-on tasks to already heavy workloads – a
planner’s full attention is focused on the success of your event thus
being more cost effective with
less time.
√
A planner can help to determine
event’s strengths, opportunities, weaknesses, and threats based on knowledge of what
other events are occurring in your geographic area, as well as complete
a resource and needs
analysis to identify, define and focus on goals of event.
√
A planner provides someone with
industry knowledge and experience that has established relationships with
vendors needed for a successful event. You get a higher return on
investment because your goals are
cost-effectively met, with outcomes leading to necessary action plans to improve your business.
Paragon’s goal is to create an event that reflects your organization’s
mission, goals and image. I will work with your employees and volunteers
so the event is customized to your needs and goals. To keep you
informed, I will create an event timeline and production schedule so you
know exactly what is going to happen and when.
My job is to manage the project for you and find you the best value (not
necessarily the cheapest supplier) for your particular needs. Let me
demonstrate how I can plan your next event efficiently and
cost-effectively.
