You are meeting with a client for the first time, however as the conversation progresses you realise that her expectations for her event vastly exceed her budget. How would you handle this?

I would bluntly and honestly let her know that her budget does not facilitate the things she wants

I would not verbally address it in the moment, but I would draft a budget for her and highlight what she can afford and what she cannot

I won't say anything tp her about her budget. Thats a sensitive topic

I don't want that stress of a delusional client, I would recommend another planner

Which client would you rather work with ......

Helen is cut and dry, very opinionated and has a clear idea of what she wants. She is very particular and fastidious

Miranda is very friendly and bubbly however she changes her mind often about what she wants and is hard to pin down to communicate with

Bob is very very busy he lets you know what outcome he wants but he leaves most of the details up to you

Lilac is very easy to deal with but her budget is very tight

You realise on the morning of an event that you have forgotten to communicate an increase in catering numbers to the hotel's event team

You are setting up the day before a big conference and one of your sponsors express their dissatisfaction with the table they were assigned

Be honest, How good are you at multitasking?

Very Good!

Good enough

Not very good I prefer to focus on one task at a time

You are in the middle of a cocktail party you have planned and everything is going great until you get word that the wine is almost finished. Upon investigating, you realise that your increase from 7 cases to 15 was not noted by the bar manager who is present. How do you react?

I would be pissed but hide it. I just want us to solve the problem, not throw blame

I'd show my annoyance but still be classy as we try to find a solution

I would be gracious but a bit shaken up. I hate when issues pop up

Your corporate client has booked a particular artiste to perform at a company event, on the night of the event, the artiste makes very specific and costly food and beverage demands that were not previously discussed. They have not yet performed and are threatening to walk out if their demands are not met. What do you do?

Make the judgement call and give them what they want. The expense is worth saving your client from embarassment of an artist walk off

Get permission from your client before meeting their demands. Rules are rules.

Stick to the plan. If they leave, they leave.
