The One Simple Step That Turn More Inquiries Into Bookings

The One Simple Step That Turn More Inquiries Into Bookings

March 13, 20252 min read

Are you calling your leads? If not, you’re leaving bookings—and revenue—on the table.

In the age of texting and emailing, phone calls might seem old-fashioned. But for event venues, a well-timed call can be the difference between a missed opportunity and a booked tour that turns into a high-value event.

Why Calling Leads Is Crucial for Event Venues:

You Build Immediate Trust and Credibility. A friendly voice builds a personal connection that texts and emails can’t match. It shows that your venue is professional, attentive, and genuinely interested in meeting your clients' needs.

You Beat the Competition to the Punch. Speed matters. Studies show that responding within the first 5 minutes increases the chance of converting a lead by 9x. Calling immediately ensures you’re the first venue they speak to—and the one they remember.

You Overcome Objections Instantly. Leads often have questions they won’t ask in an email. A quick call allows you to address concerns, showcase your venue’s unique features, and book a tour in real-time.

You Drive Momentum. A phone call keeps the conversation moving. When you book a tour over the phone, you’re one step closer to securing the booking—and the revenue.


The Real Cost of Not Calling

Imagine this: A newly engaged couple fills out a contact form. They’re excited, but life gets busy—work, errands, family. By the time they see your email two days later, they’ve already booked tours with two other venues.

Now imagine you called them immediately. You catch them while they’re still excited, answer their questions, build rapport, and book the tour on the spot. Who’s more likely to win their business?

Quick Tip to Maximize Your Calls:

When you call a lead, remember:

  • Be friendly and enthusiastic—no one likes a pushy salesperson.

  • Mention their inquiry to make the call personalized.

  • Have a clear goal—whether it’s scheduling a tour or setting up a follow-up.

  • Leave a voicemail if they don’t answer.


Calling Leads Is Not Optional—It’s Essential.

Texting and emailing support the process but don’t replace the power of a well-timed call.
