Some Questions asked by our clients:
Does Breakout offer Strategic Account Management?
In both intent and outcome, we do.
For some companies, their Strategic Account Management approach should be called “strategic selling” because the process benefits the seller more than the buyer. These companies disguise their sales efforts as “strategic account management”. In reality, it’s a just a license to sell directly to your meeting planners. We ask: “Can a person or team of people tasked with maximizing revenue really help save money?
What does “reduce costs” mean to Breakout Technologies?
It means our clients get the best possible price for each meeting.
Other national companies produce the impression of savings through simple discounting off an inflated price book, and then they compare what they charged against what they could have charged. It’s easy, but does this approach produce these real results?

Are national agreements with in-house AV companies sustainable?
No and here’s
why:
1. These agreements depend on an exchange of discounts for access to new business. This means exposing your meeting planning team to an aggressive sales effort that they would normally be able to avoid. In today’s business environment, is there time for this?
2. These agreements place an obligation upon your meeting planners to use services they might not be satisfied with. Are these companies consistently good enough outside of certain hotels and is the discount worth the risk of poor service?
3. Enforcing # 1 and # 2 creates political friction within your organization. At the end of the day, if the quantity of new business does not meet the expectations of the in-house vendor, they will lose interest and terminate the agreement, wasting the resources used to create and maintain the agreement. Do these results justify “Shaking the Beehive”?
