· Respond to enquiries with a two-week or less booking lead-time from agents and clients within time limit and in a professional manner

· Practice efficient and effective yield management in line with guidelines and maximise each and every sales opportunity

· Keep up to date on chases for events that are provisionally held and keep an open line of communication with agents and clients to encourage conversion

· Prepare contracts and ensure maximum conversion of all business taken

· To conduct show-rounds for existing bookings and for new clients in a timely and professional manner

· Ensure clients receive a detailed event order in advance of their event

· Produce and distribute weekly sheets listing forthcoming events

· Receive feedback from the client during and after the event. Resolve any client disputes and complaints in a professional manner and within guidelines issued

· Ensure accounting procedures are adhered to at all times, obtain prepayments, reconcile and check final invoices and send to the client
