2. Customer Success & Demand Management

• Client Consultation: Meet with prospective customers to understand their event requirements, offering tailored solutions that fit their budget and vision.

• Demand Fulfillment: Ensure the centre can scale its resources to meet diverse demands, whether it’s a high-capacity banquet or a minimalist corporate meeting.

• Inquiry Management: Act as the first point of contact for walk-ins and phone inquiries, converting leads into confirmed bookings.

3. Financial & Administrative Control

• Booking Management: Maintain an airtight events calendar to prevent double-bookings and ensure optimal venue utilization.

• Reporting: Provide regular updates to management regarding revenue, booking trends, and customer feedback.
