Scoring a Hole-in-One with e-Mail
Words of wisdom from a golf tournament organizer
The Event Organizers eJournal speaks with Matthew Panning,
principal product manager at Siebel Systems
For hundreds — maybe thousands — of years, people have pondered a vexing dilemma that goes something like this: If a tree falls in the forest, and no one’s there to hear it, does the impact make a sound?

Welcome to the latest issue of Event Organizer’s eJournal — the newsletter that focuses on helping event organizers, planners and producers increase attendance, delight attendees and make more money at their events.
If you’re like most event professionals, you probably have to deal with two major problems at the same time. How do you get your attendance numbers up and stick to an ever-shrinking budget? One of the best ways to accomplish both these goals is with e-mail.
To find out how to write an e-mail that gets read and gets results, Event Organizer’s eJournal recently spoke with Matthew Panning of Siebel systems. Mr. Panning puts on a golf tournament each year — single-handedly — and along the way, he’s discovered how everyone can better utilize e-mail. Check out this issue’s feature article to find out what he has to say.
Last month, we included a dilemma from a reader who had been promoted. She was having some problems with her former coworkers who are now her staff members. Check out what our readers had to say.
This month, another reader is in a ticklish situation. A new VP has suggested he hire vendors who aren’t as familiar with event production as those he’s using now. The kicker? The vendors the VP is pushing are his business acquaintances. What would you do in this situation? He’d appreciate any advice you can offer.
If you have a dilemma of your own, or if you have any suggestions for how we can make our newsletter more relevant to your business, please let us know. Your comments are always appreciated.

Last Issue's Dilemma
The climate’s suddenly gotten very chilly here
Recently, the director of events at my company retired, and I was chosen to take her place. I know I can handle the job. But I’ve heard through the grapevine that some members of the team are questioning my abilities and aren’t too happy with my promotion.
I’m worried that their attitude might affect the planning of our events — as well as the events themselves. What should I do about my former coworkers who are now, in effect, my employees?
— Trish, Director of Events

This Issue's Dilemma:
Is it OK to give a VP a polite NO?
A new VP has been hired to oversee my area, and he’s encouraging me to go to vendors who are business acquaintances of his. I have long-standing relationships with other vendors who know my company and our needs. Plus, they’ve always done a good job when working with us. What should I do?
P.S. The VP’s suggested vendors are more expensive and less experienced in event production than my current vendors.
— Rick, Events Manager
