Episode 2: Why They Didn't Hire You: How deals are really won, lost, and salvaged

Not every pitch lands, and this episode is about what actually happens in the space between the proposal and the "no." Andrew Nugent is joined by Patrick Coit (Destination Services Manager, Meet Boston), Richard Ferrara (Sales Operations Director, Stagedge), Adam Averback (Co-Owner & Delivery/Experience Lead, Party Excitement Entertainment), and Tim Torigian (Business Development Manager, NB Development Group). The panel gets honest about the "dream event that got away," chasing feedback after a loss (and what they'd change next time), where F&B and talent budgets actually go across large, small, and private events, and why word-of-mouth and trust do more to win business than any RFP process ever will. Presented by Stagedge: honest, tactical conversations from the field.
