How Trivia with Budds broke through to organizations they had been trying to book for years
📍Johnson City, Tennessee
Trivia with Budds delivers live trivia experiences for corporate teams, colleges, and private events. With a busy calendar of nightly shows and ongoing corporate prep, the business had demand but limited time to generate new opportunities.
The Challenge
Before working with Event Captain, finding new clients often took a back seat to running events.
“Before working with Event Captain, I was struggling with finding the time to search for new leads for my trivia event hosting business. With nightly events and full days of prep for corporate shows, I was swamped with locating a window to sit down and seek out new business.” – Ryan Budds, Founder, Trivia with Budds
The Solution
Event Captain began handling prospecting and outreach on behalf of Trivia with Budds.
Instead of trying to find time between nightly shows and corporate prep to research prospects, identify decision-makers, and send outreach, those responsibilities were taken off his plate.
Event Captain focused on identifying the right organizations, sourcing accurate contact information, and initiating conversations that aligned with the types of clients Trivia with Budds was looking to attract.
This allowed outreach to happen consistently without requiring additional time or effort from the business itself.
“Event Captain swooped in and immediately started finding me active potential clients!” – Ryan Budds, Founder, Trivia with Budds
The Results
The impact came quickly.
Almost immediately, Trivia with Budds was speaking with the Director of Student Life at a nearby community college they had been trying to get booked at for years.
“Within 20 days, I was chatting with the director of student life at a nearby community college that I had been trying to get booked at for years. We’ve already booked 3 events, with 3-5 more on the horizon. Trusting a service like Event Captain has been a great way to kick off my year!”
Beyond that initial breakthrough, new opportunities began appearing consistently.
“After I started working with Event Captain, I started getting legitimate leads in my inbox on a weekly basis. Their methods of lead generation are unmatched, and exactly what I was looking for to grow my business. They check-in frequently, they supply me with feedback and guidance, and they really feel like they’re part of my team. I’ve tried different lead gens in the past that were stagnate and fell apart quickly, but Event Captain is the real deal!”
Why They Recommend Event Captain
“I would 100% recommend Event Captain to any biz looking for new clients in new areas, or event existing areas. It feels like I’ve hired a booking assistant that really understands how to get the exact clients I’m looking to attract. If your calendar needs dates filled, let Event Captain steer your ship!” – Ryan Budds, Founder, Trivia with Budds
