11 Starting with the Planner… Before the planner can even put out an RFP there are 4 steps the planner must take to evaluate their potential meeting and the potential cost of doing business. So break out the pen! Lets review the 4 steps…

12 1. Know its financial goals and limitations. Planners cannot burn through citizen’s tax dollars! Cover costs Make money

13 2. Identify all costs and potential revenues as accurately as possible. Meeting history Estimates from printers, vendors Hotel sales kit samples (F&B, AV, meeting room charges, taxes, gratuity) Current per diems Sponsors, grant money, registration fees Follow any special agency spending or contracting policies

14 3. Plan and format your budget so the logic of how you constructed your budget and registration fee can be clearly understood. Use a worksheet-one is available at members only under Meeting Planners Toolbox Organize all your expenses under cost centers Keep notes of how you arrived at potential costs

15 4. Determine the breakeven attendance. Use meeting history if available Know your audience Determine any potential conflicts Be realistic Remember suppliers expect guarantee counts to be paid for even if they don’t show up!

16 Information to PROVIDE Vendors in an RFP: Background on your organization Your contact information Schedule for the proposal process Criteria for making your decision Basic summary of the project, including overarching goals and timeline Project’s target market, if applicable (customers, users, stake holders) Detailed overview of the project ° Primary goal ° Secondary goals ° Budget ° General scope ° Time frame ° Business requirements ° Creative/design requirements ° Functional requirements ° Content type/Content development needs ° Existing technical environment/requirements ° Your preferred working relationship requirements Ongoing support and maintenance requirement

17 Information to REQUEST from Vendors in an RFP: Vendor company information ° Company background/history ° Quick overview of services and capabilities ° Management or key personnel bios ° Contact information Vendor’s proposed solution ° Basic summary of the solution ° Solution methodology/process Development plan List of tasks Timeline ° Details on proposed solution Original ideas – strategy, creative, etc. Features and functionality Options and add-ons Scalability Technical requirements ° Preliminary design compositions (voluntary) ° Proposed budget Cost of services Required 3rd party costs Support and maintenance ° List of deliverables ° Ownership Proposed Project Team Vendor references ° Show examples of previous work ° Provide client references ° List awards/accolades and special certification

18 Information on the general components of the Vendor Selection Process: Create Selection Committee & Decision Criteria Finalize Schedule of Events Completion of an RFP Create Initial Target List of Vendors Initial RFP Announcement/Send Submission Deadline 1ST round Proposal Review Narrow Down to Finalists Vendor Finalists Review Selection of Vendor Final Contract Negotiation

19 5. Now Planners are Ready to Formulate the Government RFP.

20 What will the Supplier be looking for in your RFP? Number of Rooms Rooms to Space Ratio Date and Pattern Catering Revenue Potential Meeting Room Rental Audio Visual Revenue Other Revenue Centers Why is all this important to Suppliers to evaluate your meeting?

21 Lets look at a sample standard meeting package cost per person based on: Meeting space F&B - Lunch and 2 breaks AV Gratuities AVERAGE PROFIT WILL ONLY BE 18% FOR THE HOTEL. That’s why it is important for the Supplier to evaluate all the potential revenue for your meeting

22 You know what your meeting should cost you, but ever wonder what your meeting costs the hotel? Labor 31.6% Food 19% Energy Costs 4.2% Benefits 4.2% Cost of Sales 4.5% Management fees 5% Security 2% Admin and Accounting 3% Laundry 2.6% HR and Engineering 1.5% China Glass linen Plants Décor 3.6% Uniforms 1% EQUALS 82% in costs

23 Learn Hotel Profit Margins Beverages 18%-21% Banquets 35%-38% Guest Rooms 70% to 75%

24 How Can Planners be Suppliers Partner in Business? Give accurate information Know your business environment Be flexible with dates Work with Suppliers that understand your business (like SGMP members!) Keep histories of your past groups Don’t let the lowest price for your RFP be the deciding factor. Remember value also should have an equation in your budget Know the difference between your needs, wants and wishes Be realistic when making your budget

25 How Can Suppliers be Planners Partner in Business? Understand the RFP process Know your business environment Know your hotel’s profit margins and how to evaluate the business Be willing to work with per diem rates and menus Be able to offer value added incentives to help planners keep costs down Be proactive and create government meeting package based on planners budget Be flexible and offer more than one option on dates Get creative with per diem priced menus

26 Shake hands… now you are partners in the cost of doing business.
