The playbook at a glance
A packed room means nothing if nobody buys.
Event revenue is qualified attendees multiplied by what they buy that night. Most practices plan the party and leave the selling to chance, so the night tops out at the same loyal guests and a $15K total.
The practices reaching six figures plan the marketing and the selling together from day one, start eight weeks out, and keep selling for a week after the doors close.
Qualified attendees × transactions = event revenue
What's inside
Eight mistakes, each with the fix and real examples.
-
01
You're planning a party, not a sales night
A packed room means nothing if nobody buys. How to plan the marketing and the selling together, and choose between an exposure, VIP or soft-launch event.
-
02
You start at 4 weeks
Why the practices that win start twice as early, and exactly what happens each week from planning to the week after.
Includes the 8-week countdown -
03
You send one invite and hope
The eight marketing tools that all go live on the same day and point to one RSVP page.
-
04
You let RSVPs go cold
The reminder cadence and day-before call that get 8 of every 10 RSVPs through the door.
Includes a confirmation text script -
05
Your team isn't ready to sell
Selling at an event is nothing like a consult. A readiness checklist and a three-tier offer structure every guest can buy from.
-
06
You go quiet when the doors open
Flow signage, the passport book tool, swag budgets by tier and merch that keeps marketing all night.
-
07
You stop selling at closing time
The week after can nearly double the night. Plus a charitable raffle that brings guests back within 60 days.
-
08
You invite the same 40 patients
How one new med spa drew 300 guests with almost no list, and how to make a vendor kit look like your brand.
