Challenge
For the National Office of D66, I was looking for multiple venues across the Netherlands to host our training sessions in early 2018. Our requirements were that these venues are situated at triple-A locations and are easy to reach by public transport.
Early stages
We discovered Onemeeting.com on Google. I was looking for suitable venues near train stations, when the thought crossed my mind “Sure, I contact all these venues myself, but I can also find a partner that makes all arrangements on our behalf and offers me a single contact person, rather than having to deal with countless individuals”. I proceeded to schedule an exploratory meeting with one of the Meeting Experts, and that led to us working together.
How Onemeeting.com helps us
Onemeeting.com arranged for the entire planning for all our training venues across the Netherlands. Our requirements were clear:
- High quality venues;Close to train stations
- Proper price-quality ratio
- Many smaller training spaces at a single venue
- A single point of contact
It is great to know that the agreements we made, apply for all the venues. This means I don’t have to negotiate time and time again, and if I want to add a new venue, Onemeeting.com arranges it for me. We always ask our participants to rate our training sessions, and the overwhelming majority of them are highly enthusiastic about the venues.
It is quick and easy to touch base with the Meeting Experts, which makes our interaction pleasant too.
Benefits
One of the major benefits of conducting business with Onemeeting.com is that every detail is figured out for me, which saves me a great deal of time. Rather than constantly being on the phone, everything is arranged for me and presented in a single, comprehensible overview. The fact that I have a single contact person who arranges everything and knows my preferences is ideal.
Results
Looking back on the approach from the first start, all desired results were attained. There’s nothing now that I would want to have done or arranged or differently. Whenever something had to be adjusted, it could all be arranged on the spot. Another great benefit was that quite a few of last minute changes were easy to process, which saved me much time during the peak moments on and around the training days. I warmly recommend Onemeeting.com to anyone who is looking for multiple venues to host meetings or events across the Netherlands.
