    WHAT WILL I LEARN?

Hands up if you find yourself working extremely hard on jobs to give your clients the best events ever only to find at the end you’ve actually made little or no money – or worse still – that, because you just added a little extra here and there to make it really special, the job/s actually cost you money?!

    We’ll begin with the first meeting with your client & how to be personable & friendly while keeping your relationshio on a professional level.
    Next - & most importantly – how to correctly calculate the costing of your clients requirements (from a single bouquet to a full blown major event).
