“ I don't know how many times I have to say it, but Dubsado, Honeybook, Triple Seat, etc... shouldn't be considered as sales tools. Management systems, yes. Sales systems, NO. ” - Jarek Rozyskie

Introduction:

Too often, Wedding Venue's try to use a Management System as a Sales System, which can lead to disaster. A good Management System will help you send contracts, and payment reminders, and help you manage your signed clients and upcoming events.

While all of this is great, these systems are not proven solutions to help your venue convert more leads into tours, and furthermore into bookings at your venue. In this blog post, let's explore the differences between these two types of systems and discuss why it matters for your business.

With that said, in this blog post, let's explore the differences between these two types of systems and discuss why it matters for your business.

1. What's the Difference?

Management systems are designed to help you fulfill the obligations of the contracts that you've signed. They help you send out payments, manage upcoming events, and keep track of your clients. Management systems are great for keeping everything organized, but they fall short when it comes to nurturing new inquiries into tours and bookings at your venue.

Sales Systems, on the other hand, are designed to help your wedding venue increase sales and revenue. They are typically focused on generating leads, converting new leads into tours, and bringing back indecisive visitors to complete their booking at your venue. Sales systems can be used to effectively follow up with new leads via text and email, keep all your conversations in one place, manage sales pipeline data and inquiries, and measure and evaluate sales performance. Most importantly, sales systems like Hitched Marketing's Venue Scaling System, are developed with the sole purpose to provide Wedding Venues with a proven, reliable, and repeatable way to schedule more tours and book more weddings.

2. Why Does it Matter?

So why does it matter which system you use? Well, if you're trying to increase sales at your wedding venue, then you need a system that's specifically designed to help you do that. If you are using Honeybook, Dubsado, or Tripleseat as a SALES SYSTEM, you will still spend hours each and every day manually following up with inquiries. You will still be leaving countless bookings on the table because you don't have an automated sales system to nurture your leads into tours using proven text and email marketing campaigns.

Worst of all, with management systems, they're only as good as YOU make them. You're the one that has to build the automation and pipelines. You have to remember to follow up. You have to do all the work, and if you're like most venue owners, you're already stretched too thin.

2. Which System's Should My Venue Have?

Great question! First of all, you definitely need a management system. Without a management system, it will be more difficult to handle the fulfillment of the event. The best part about these systems is that they cost practically nothing. (At the time of writing this, Dubsado's premium package is only $33 per month, and Honeybook is running a special to give you access for only $1 for 6-months, and then $39 per month after your first 6-months.)

Why's it so cheap? Well, Honeybook is a hammer, and it's only as good as what you can build with it, which is why they aren't responsible for helping you book more weddings, which is why they only charge $39 per month.

The catch here is that a management system is essentially useless if you don't have sales.

As stated before, you shouldn't substitute a management system for a sales system.
