‘We have engaged with Paje Consultancy on 2 occasions to support us in a number of areas including C&E sales representation, interim sales director support, recruitment and team management.

Within the time period of each project Paje consultants along with the support from the board and the SMT’s within Silverstone were able to make a dramatic difference,  offering a significant growth in agency awareness, enquiries and significantly improving the conversion rates. They supported with a team restructure, set up new procedures, made recommendations to help our presence in the MICE market and assisted with the recruitment and interviewing process for senior sales and Head of Sales positions.

Paje handed over a 60% increase in confirmed business from the same time the previous year to the new Head of Sales giving her 70% of the year’s target already confirmed and an extremely healthy pipeline enabling them to hit their full target in time for Formula1.

The Conference Agency telesales campaign generated a list of over 90 agencies interested in viewing the venue or having a sales manager present to them at their offices. Our Agency Sales Manager contacted them all and was able to cover 20 appointments and handover a further 30 scheduled agency presentations.

Eighteen months later when the previously appointed Head of Sales decided to progress her career further Judi Oliver was able to come in again as Interim Head of Sales to seamlessly  ‘hold the fort’ until we could recruit the right person.  She assisted with the recruitment of some new roles within the team as well as the new Head of Sales and was asked to stay on to help stabilise the team due to other changes within the business, also offering Marketing support whilst the new Head of Sales settled in to their new role.

With Paje support we have made massive leaps forward in our MICE business over the last 3 years and I would highly recommend them to any organisation looking for representation and support in conference and events. ‘
