We were recently chatting with Members about working with vendors. Respect, communication and relationship-building were a common theme. Here are some of the top tips:
When you host a large event, there may be dozens of vendors and service staff on the property who don’t know their way around your estate or how things operate. It’s important to provide these people with the key points of contact on-site, and for those key contacts to know who to expect, and when.
Each estate is an ecosystem unto itself – with its own unique processes, rhythms, and culture. And, like any estate ecosystem, each has a cast of characters with particular skill sets who must learn to work together
So, how do you find a good vendor? Follow the below advice and do your due diligence and you can avoid 80% of the negative situations that could occur.
Last year I was approached by a somewhat overwhelmed Estate Manager for a well-known billionaire based in Silicon Valley. As she explained her situation, I realized she could use some advice on how to truly evaluate a contract security company.
An Estate Manager needs to source the best Event Planner for your Principal’s requirements and screen them carefully before committing to one.
In a perfect world, every vendor who crossed through the gates would care for and respect the multi-million dollar property they were entering as much as the estate staff. This is almost never the case. Vendor guidelines are a great tool for your management kit. PRO CONTENT
I love contracts. I like knowing what I’m obligated to and what the vendor is obligated to, in very clear terms. I’m spending someone else’s money on someone else’s property, so I want to make the right decisions and I want to be covered. PRO MEMBER CONTENT
