“Before I took the course, I tried everything to get clients. I was afraid to increase my rates because I didn’t want to lose the few clients I had. From Passion to Party Business has given me peace, better rates and structure. Fabienne helped me see that my talent is worth every penny!”

Check this first before you say yes, to a last minute booking!
1️⃣Charge a rush fee: You'll work under high pressure, plus products have to be made and ordered faster than normal. Everyone is running to get this last-minute booking done. That costs money.
2️⃣Give the customer max 48 hours to confirm: A last-minute booking requires a different approach. You have to arrange everything in a short amount of time. Start working once they have confirmed and paid.
3️⃣Let them know that there is no room for changes after approval:This way you can fully focus on the booking and deliver high quality as usual.

"What does it cost?" You might feel like you have to respond right away, but at this stage it's almost impossible to name a price. You want to know more about their party and their wishes before you can give a price. That's why it's important to get them out of your DM's and start a real conversation. Check out my caption below and know what to say instead!
Instead of responding with a price, you can say: ""thank you for reaching out to us. We believe our clients deserve the best. That's why all our services are tailored to your wishes. If you'd like to know how we can help you, please complete this form and we will contact you within 48 hours.” Bam, like a boss! 💁♀️
Don't be afraid to take charge, it will benefit your business in the long run.

Why I want you to have a profitable business? Because it gives you the power to change things. It might sound a bit weird, but let me explain. Remember when you had to take on bookings you didn't really want, just to make money? We've all been there. When you have a profitable business:
- you have the luxury to say no to 'cheap' clients
- you can invest in new inventory, marketing etc.
- you can grow your team and take on larger bookings
- you can literally afford to experiment and make mistakes
- you can change your life and of the ones around you
We need more people with money and good hearts in this world! Need help to make your party business profitable? Sign up for my course (link in bio).

The #1 thing that can make or break your business (in my opinion) is customer service. You can be the best party planner in the world, but if your vibe is off I'm not booking you. Most people think it's the end result that counts, but I disagree. It's how you treat your customers that keeps them coming back. You want clients that book you again and again for the rest of their lives (lol!). Even is the end result is not what it was supposed to be (which sucks), you can still fix it with god customer service and get a nice review.. Well, that's my two cents! Do you agree or disagree? Let me know in the comments.
Are you attracting the wrong clients? Here's how to change that.
1: Show photos and videos of services you want clients to book. What they see is usually what they want.
2: Know what your clients like, love and hate. Use this in your content and show that you're the right person for them.
3. Rethink how you describe your service. A little tweak here and there can do wonders for your business!
Remember: what you don't change, you choose. So choose wisely ;)
Stop asking others what they would pay for your service. You've invested time and money to get to where you are, so you should set the standard and not them.
1. Write down all the costs that you make for your service. That's what you at least have to spend, so the price should never be lower than that.
2. Who is the perfect person to book your service? Make sure your service is interesting to them, not to everyone you know.
3. Know what's more important to your client than money. Not everyone cares about the price. For example: if they book you, they don't have to run to every store to buy decorations. That means they can spend more time with their kids, which is more important to them than money ;)
If you start looking at the value of your service instead of the price, you'll feel more confident. Want to learn more? Check out the shop for courses and e-books that will help you set the right price for your service.
The more I accomplished, the more I felt I didn't deserve the success. You probably heard of imposter syndrome. It makes you feel like you're fooling everyone, even though you areTHE REAL DEAL! If you're like "this ie me" then ask yourself these 3 questions:
1. Do I have the knowledge and talent to do my job well?
It's important to believe in yourself, otherwise no one else will. You have enough talent to do what you are good at, and if not then improve your skills!
2. Do I always give 100% to make my customers happy with the result?
The most important thing is that your customers are happy with the end result. Big or small bookings, every client deserves the best version of you. If you want to manage multiple bookings in a better way, check out my Party Queen Kit in the shop.
3. Do I feel insecure because I do a bad job, or because I compare myself to others?
It's impossible to be the best from day one. Use other's accomplishments as an inspiration that you can do it too. The people you look up to also started from scratch. I hope this is a reminder that you are good enough!
Finding good partnerships is like dating: you want to find the right match.
The best partnership is one where you complement each other You should tihnk about:
1. Research: who do you want to work with and why? Who are their clients and what's their reputation like?
2. Benefits: why should they work with you?
3 Committment: how is this partnership going to work? What do you expect from each other?
You want to work together with someone that matches your ambitions, your target group and your creative spirit. Whatever partnership you choose, make you start off with the right intentions and make clear agreements.
You'll learn more about this in my course (link in bio).

Here are 3 skills you need to upgrade your business.
✅ Creativity: come up with creative concepts beyond the standard trends. A great way to show your unique style.
✅ Organization: from timelines to logistics, every detail matters. Make a plan, anticipate what can go wrong and stay on top of everything!
✅ Communication: this allows you to build strong relationships with clients, suppliers and your own team. Listen to feedback.
These 3 skills can upgrade your business to the next level. Any thoughts or questions? Share them below! 👇
#partyplanning #partystylist #partyqueen #partydesigner #partystylist #cakeartist #firstbirthday #balloondecor #eerstehulpbijpartyplanning #partyrentals #partyplanningacademy #partydecor #partybusiness #backdroprental
We have so many details to manage, timelines to follow and clients to satisfy. Some days you crush all your goals, and other days nothing gets done. It's even worse when you have multiple bookings in the same week. If you feel like time is not on your side, try one of these things!
✅ Focus on one thing at a time - we all know that to-do-list that keeps getting longer. We can do a lot, but not everything at once.
✅ Plan your week in advance - when you know what's coming, you can manage your time better. And you'll be on time to ask for help if needed.
✅ Use a planning tool - Asana is my team's best friend. Plan all your tasks and get reminders when it's due time.
✅ Prep as much as possible - prep your food, prep your work. So much work can be done beforehand. I even plan my outfits...but hey it saves me time in the morning!

For outsiders all party planners and stylists are the same, but we know that's not true! 🚫
Everyone has their own style and specialty. If you stick to it, you will get known for it. With a niche, your services are aimed at a specific audience, because you know exactly what they need. They love your services which keeps them coming back! This works for planners, balloon stylists, crafters and more.
Do you have a niche for your party business? Let it know in the comments👇

Are you tired of clients who don’t appreciate your time and talent? 🤔
It’s time to change that! Here are three ways to attract your ideal client 👆
Are you running a hobby or a business? 🧐
#partybusiness #succes #partysector
Here are three tips to get the bookings you actually love!
1️⃣ Clients book what they see. If you show more of the creations you love doing, they will book. Share it in the stories, talk about it or whatever! Delete the old work and move on to better bookings.
2️⃣ Ask for what you want. If you want larger bookings but didn't get the chance yet, ask a client if you can upgrade their booking to a bigger one for free. Growing means investing, but in return a lot of people get to see your new work and book you.
3️⃣ Collaborate with colleagues in the business who already get large bookings. Think about the benefits for both of you.
Last but not least:Make sure you can handle it! Dream big, but know it also comes with bigger responsibilities. Good luck!
So, I'm curious about your thoughts on this.
Let me tell you how I see it: family and friends have had FREE access to you their whole lives. Now there's this financial barrier between you and them, because of your business. It's hard for them to seperate the friend you from the business you. Of course there are also family and friends who support you no matter what.
How do you deal with them asking for discounts? Let me know!
Here are 5 reasons why you should see the venue before you make a quote:
1) Extra costs: you need to know what you're working with. A large venue needs more decorations, or else it will look empty. That means the budget needs to go up.
2) Vibe: does this venue match the vibe you're trying to create? Sometimes it's too much work to cover the ugly parts up.
3) Lighting: Lighting: how is the lighting? Daylight is important for pictures but also makes the colors pop. If it's a dark space, will your design come out as you planned?
4) Accessibility: always check if you can you park and unload easily. If not, you need to calculate that extra time into your planning.
5) Set-up: always ask how much time you have to set-up and breakdown. That determines how fast you need to work!
Are you in the first three years of your party business? Do you need an easy-to-follow business strategy to increase your income, establish a strong position in your area and get clients that keep coming back for more? THEN YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE! I help partypreneurs create a solid basis to succeed in the first three years of their business. If you want to make money and be happy doing what you love, then check out my course. I'll teach you everything you need to know 🥳
Noem nooit direct je prijs! 🚫 Reageer jij direct op DM’s met de vraag “wat kost dit?” of “heb je een prijslijst?” Dan loop je waarschijnlijk inkomsten mis. In de video leg ik uit hoe je dit aanpakt.
#partyplanningacademy #partypreneurmindset #partybusiness #partyplanner #partystylist
De prijzen die je rekent voorspellen de toekomst van je bedrijf. Een goede financiële basis is dus pretty important. Hier zijn 3 waardevolle lessen.
Laat in de reacties weten aan welke les je het meest hebt gehad 👇

Heb je de live sessie van 15 september over klanten krijgen in de party sector gemist?
Stuur mij een DM om de volledige video terug te kijken! Ruim 28 minuten vol adviezen die je direct kan toepassen.
Ideaal om te kijken tussen het schoonmaken door op deze druilerige zondag 🌧
Word jij ook nerveus zodra het gesprek over de prijs eraan komt? Dat hoeft niet als je klanten enthousiast maakt over jouw diensten met een goed onderbouwde offerte.
Hoe duidelijker de offerte, hoe minder je hoeft uit te leggen ;) Wist je dat er drie verschillende manieren zijn om je offertes op te stellen? De meest populaire is een opsomming van al je diensten en de totaalprijs ernaast.
In de online masterclass: Party-proof offertes opstellen laat ik stap voor stap zien hoe je een offerte opstelt voor een feest en wat je absoluut niet mag vergeten.

Als je vastloopt in je bedrijf of juist klaar bent voor de volgende stap in je bedrijf, start dan met netwerken!
@youreventmemories was er helemaal klaar voor 🥳
Netwerken klinkt vaak veel enger dan het daadwerkelijk is. Een goed netwerk kan het verschil maken tussen een goedlopend en een doodlopend bedrijf. We all need each other!
Een paar tips om succesvol te netwerken:
👸🏽Zie netwerken als iets leuks! Praat over je bedrijf, luister naar anderen en kijk wat je voor elkaar kunt betekenen.
🌸Wees open en eerlijk over wat je nodig hebt. Je weet nooit wie iets voor jou kan betekenen of andersom.
📞Doe een follow-up na de netwerkborrel. Spreek af met de mensen die je hebt gesproken. Een goed netwerk is goud waard!
Eind september staat onze @highteaforpartyqueens gepland, whoop whoop!!!!
💕 Waarom ik @partyplanningacademy 3 jaar geleden ben gestart? Om vrouwen een goede start geven in de party sector.
De party planning sector in Nederland bestaat nog niet zo lang, maar groeit met de dag. Er zijn zoveel getalenteerde dames die niet durven om van hun passie hun werk te maken. Daar is dit platform voor. Ik weet waar je als starter tegenaan loopt en hoe je goed voorbereid start. De beste investering is altijd in jezelf en kost niet altijd geld.
Ben je benieuwd welke stappen jij het beste kunt nemen? Plan een vrijblijvende call in via de link in mijn bio.
Ps: op 7 maart start van Passie naar Party Planner weer!
Eerlijk…vaak verwachten we dat klanten in discussie gaan over de prijs. Wist je dat je deze discussie makkelijk kunt voorkomen? En dat je met een paar vragen precies weet wat de klant écht wil? Dat en meer leer je op 12 januari in de sales training Seal the Party Deal van Rachida (Deetailz Eventz).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Rachida heeft 20+ jaar ervaring als sales manager in de high-end beauty industrie. Met haar succesvolle event styling bedrijf Deetailz draait zij events voor Netflix, Friends of the Brands, Cosmo, Kiko Milano en meer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Leer van haar met welke salestechnieken zij maanden van tevoren een volgeboekte agenda heeft én genoeg verdient om te investeren in haar bedrijf. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Meld je aan voor de online training via de link in bio.
Leave this in 2021, thank you! Wat laat jij achter in 2021?
Wanneer je kijkt naar populaire party queens op Instagram is het makkelijk om te denken: ze hebben er weinig voor hoeven doen. Maar ook zij zijn bij nul begonnen, net als jij.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Overnight success is niet echt. Wat wél echt is zijn de mensen die jou aanmoedigen, in je geloven en je helpen om dichterbij dat party bedrijf te komen. Ik help je met alle liefde en motiveer je 12 weken lang! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We starten op 3 januari 2022. De volgende editie is pas op 7 maart 2022.
High-Tea op 4 maart LOT & DAAN
•
Ontmoet andere party planners en party stylisten, leer van elkaar en geniet van een uitgebreide high-tea met veel gezelligheid.
•
Win leuke prijzen, ga los in de photobooth, strike a pose voor onze fotograaf (je bent tenslotte op de #1 Instagramwaardige plek van Rotterdam), schommel romantisch heen en weer in de zweefstoelen, en ga naar huis met een exclusieve goodie bag! Er is nog zoveel meer, maar dat houden we nog even geheim ;)
