What will you be doing?
In the role of Account Manager Events, you are responsible for recruiting and onboarding new partners who wish to collaborate with Festivalcadeau to promote their festivals/events for which they sell tickets. Through Festivalcadeau, you offer event organisations an additional sales channel, a way to sell more tickets risk-free and increase revenue. When you present this in the right way, there is almost no reason for event organisations to say no to this irresistible offer. After registration, organisers can log in to the back end of Festivalcadeau and, via the Events dashboard, manage their event information, add tickets, and benefit from the thousands of extra visitors who reach them through the Festival Cadeau Card.
It is your task, using your vision and strategy, to approach the festival and events world and ensure that as many event organisations as possible join Festivalcadeau. You do this in any way you prefer and according to your own approach, which will be determined in consultation. You can choose a communication channel yourself, or use several simultaneously. You also decide when you do this, as you determine your own working hours. In short, a versatile, independent and responsible role where you also serve as the face of Festivalcadeau.
What your average working day looks like
- You determine the strategy and coordinate it with us. You work out the strategy or refine it where necessary. All with the goal of welcoming as many new event organisations as possible who will work under your management.
- You sit down at your laptop and create a new email sequence for acquisition. You prepare it and send it at a time you think will have the best response.
- In between, you receive a call from a potential partner who is interested in signing up. You have a nice conversation, ask about the event concept, how many events they organise annually, which ticketing organisation they are affiliated with, and whether they are directly connected to a Payment Service Provider.
- You determine how Festivalcadeau can collaborate with the event organisation and send a proposal by email. If you haven't received confirmation after a few days, you contact them again and further convince the partner to benefit from all the extra visibility through the Festival Cadeau Card.
- After the event organisation has registered as a new partner, you have a few more contacts - by phone, email or WhatsApp - to explain how the dashboard works and provide guidance so that as many tickets as possible are sold.
