Empowering YOUR team

As a life-long learner with a constantly curious mind, Kelly LOVES nothing more than sharing her knowledge and empowering others with fresh insight to go and achieve great things, make change for their businesses and themselves. And, very importantly, to deliver above and beyond for today’s wedding couples.

She’s been a wedding-industry trainer for over 13 years when she first started teaching new independent wedding planners how to set up and launch their businesses. Nothing beats the buzz of an interactive “classroom” setting where Kelly’s an expert at nurturing fresh knowledge whether it’s teaching on converting more wedding venue sales, on effective social media or on the future of the wedding market.

Engaging and approachable

Kelly’s style is engaging, honest, approachable and empathetic. She comes from an operational background, having assisted, run and project-managed thousands of events, sensitivity handling tricky brides, keeping exasperated Chefs from imploding, keeping large teams on track, complex logistics juggled and tackling whatever challenges live events bring–you know those things that absolutely aren’t mentioned on the function sheet!

She also speaks from over 16 years as an entrepreneur and business owner where she’s been hands-on, self-taught, made sales and marketing mistakes and thrown herself into every aspect of running multiple successful wedding industry businesses. With persistence, determination and a good dose of humour!

5 to 500

She is regularly commissioned to speak on an exciting range of subjects, from intimate groups of 5 to gatherings of 500. Kelly presents to venue teams including Property Owners & Entrepreneurs, hotel senior management teams (GMs, Ops Directors, Sales & Marketing Directors), Venue Managers, Wedding Co-ordinators, Marketing Teams and Wedding Planners as well as other segments of the wider wedding industry too.

Kelly spent a day training our entire customer facing team alongside the owners. This time was invaluable as we managed to overcome many issues that had previously belonged in the "too hard" basket as we had failed to fully recognise their importance in the sales outcomes.

Another hugely valuable outcome of this day was to appreciate each team members value to the Fort and gain better understanding of the extensive nature of their roles within the team. Having every member present has proved essential as we commence rolling out the action plan developed after Kelly's workshop as the team recognise the need to change to continue being successful. As a result of our work with Kelly, we have managed to freshen and modernise our offering. We have noticed a considerable upturn in conversion rate with 50% of visiting couples now booking the Fort (previously this was more like 20%). This resulted in achieving our best sales month in the history of Polhawn Fort one month after Kelly’s training. As a result of this increase in bookings we received deposits of £30,000 above our sales targets which negated any reservations we had about the cost of instructing Kelly.
