THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK
Handler intel.
The part ordinary travel sites do not know—or do not say.- THE OPENING LINE · Tell education manager you have a clear budget, flexible timing, and want the version they would arrange for a favorite client—not the default package.
- THE LEVERAGE · Start with events, education, group sales, or operations. They know the approved version and can reach the person empowered to say yes.
- THE MONEY TRAP · Private access often hides a group minimum, staffing charge, security fee, insurance requirement, or food-and-beverage minimum.
- THE HANDLER MOVE · Ask, “If this were for someone you wanted to impress, what would you change?” Then stop talking and take notes.
03 · BRING THIS
- Closed-toe shoes
- Questions
- Respect for restricted doors
