... They want to eat with us but there’s no room.

“There’s plenty of work for all’ catch cry seems to be a thing of the past. We continue to be challenged by bigger event agencies (including international conglomerates) competing for smaller clients in our traditional space.

Why would a huge international want to win business on price at a 5% margin? “Ivo your price is not competitive” said the client.
I SUGGEST : The big event hunter wants the client's name and then makes their margin by screwing the suppliers : not sustainable in my view.
Why would a company that is excellent at opening ceremonies for international events want to compete on a 30 pax conference? “The BDM had new ideas”, oh yes but who will be the event manager? Will it even be one of their staff or a contractor, as we have heard?
I SUGGEST : The big hunters are struggling with cash flow because the big fish are hiding, so they want to eat our fish.

I don’t have a solution just hope the automotive and finance industries get their act together soon and get the piranha off my back.
