Fast, direct answers and help as they relate to your specific situation

No doubt, there are numerous everybody's and anybody's all clamoring "we're nightclub experts, with the classic claim of hundreds of years of combined experience… And of course… A list of 400 nightclubs they've worked their magic on" and so fourth… Of course when you speak to them in person, most of them exhibit the characteristics of a first year intermediate worker. I know as I've personally contacted a few myself while playing the role of a novice nightclub operator. How some of these people qualify themselves to be advising on a $300,000, to 5-million dollar high risk business venture is beyond me.

Through extensive experience and working with many entertainment operators, nightclubbiz.com has acquired the ability to connect with our clients quickly. That means we understand what it is "you" specifically want to do very early in the discussion. We don't sound lost, confused, or trying to render answers to questions we really don't know the answers to. We don't bombard you with one-fits all ideas, promos, concepts, or operational procedures that are claimed to be "what's working for everyone right now", as there's simply no such thing…

Finally… Sometimes the right answer is 'I don't know' and we're not afraid to say so -no need to make things up. Providing social entertainment product that addresses the needs of a specific market is becoming increasingly difficult, largely due to the increased sophistication of a 21st century consumer. We're more focused on making absolutely certain both you (the client) and nightclubbiz.com knows exactly who that market is "before" concluding what may or may not work there.

No expensive contracts, retainer, assessment, or other frivolous upfront fees

In the so-called nightclub consulting arena, the method of payment or what the customer is actually paying for can redefine ambiguous at times. During initial consultation, some alleged experts are providing minimal answers, while pushing hot and heavy for an all expense paid trip to the club, or the location where a new club is to be built. The claim is that they need to actually see it before they can ever so much as obtain a single clue of what's going on, or provide answers to questions that may come up. Snicker… That's just plain funny! :-)

Others are pitching management consultant contacts, which are interesting to say the least. In one of the more popular class case examples, you essentially render all operational control to the alleged consultant, while getting into complex compensation arrangements, such as an over bloated base salary, PLUS a sizable percentage of net revenue. Most of these arrangements are so convoluted it's not even funny. Ugg.. How could any operator possibly buy into this? How do you plan to exercise any control? Better yet... How do you plan to make any money!

While travel is occasionally necessary, the bulk of problems associated with both new startups and current operations can be addressed through intellectual resources, which can only be offered through real life experience. Nightclubs exhibit a very high failure rate for a good reason and it's because too many people "think" they know what they're doing, and or are putting their faith into people who "Think" they know what they're doing. Just remember that it's your investment that's on the line here -not there's…

The first and only priority of nightclubbiz.com is to provide answers, insight, and possible solutions to your problems within the allotted time of the consultation. If that's 60-minutes, then all efforts are made to provide the most useful information in this period. The time is NEVER used to pitch you on more expensive commitments.

Enhanced with 14-years of international consulting experience

Not much to say here.. nightclubbiz.com was launched in 1994 and since that time has worked with almost 330 individual nightclub operations around the world. The number of telephone consultations since that time is now approaching 10,000. So in addition to a strong hands-on background in the core operational procedures, insight into the broader level entertainment arena is greatly enhanced through the derived knowledge of numerous other entertainment operations. So no.. As the operator of nightclubbiz.com, I have not been 'playing it safe' in one nightclub, in one region or city. I invest substantial resources into acquiring knowledge from many types of entertainment operations worldwide.

Need insight well beyond the likes of the operational aspects?

In consultation, it would be easier for me to simply keep the discussion focused on elementary aspects, such as inventory control, door policies, administrative tasks, and promo nights. While these are important, they by no means address the more serious issues of market viability, and or whether your concept and vision will ultimately succeed.

Most ideas, concepts, and operational approaches need to be scrutinized from a host of various perspectives. It's not about telling the client what they want to hear.. It's not about being polite.. It's not about the customer /client is always right.

It's about the bottom line, which is this: Will your approach to social entertainment product succeed, or will it crash and burn within 6-months? Whether you're approaching investors or planning on infusing $300,000 upwards to 5-million of your own money, this is something most of you should want to examine and question in great detail. With most of my clients, there's an 80% chance I'll raise several critical issues /concerns that were not previously considered.

In essence, this is what consulting is all about. It's not about the elementary attributes of a nightclub --It's pointing out minor or serious flaws in the 'larger operational model", which could render a new startup or current operation dead in the water within 6-months. REMEMBER… You only get one chance to get it right in a social entertainment venue. Blow that first chance and the odds of getting another are exceptionally low.
