A 550 person company retreat in San Diego, sourced and contracted from a moving brief
Pair Team came to us with a fast-growing team and a retreat that kept changing shape, first a 160 person plan, then a 550 person company-wide event. They needed one partner to source the venue, hold the room block and lock the contract while their team kept building the company. We came back with the Sheraton San Diego Resort, complimentary meeting space, and a signed deal.
A target that kept moving
Pair Team is scaling fast, and the retreat scaled with it. What started as a 160 person plan grew into a 550 person company-wide event. Each change meant new venues, new room blocks and new budgets, and their lean team did not have the hours to chase hotels through it.
San Diego, sourced and held
We worked the San Diego market, compared downtown options against the budget, and landed on the Sheraton San Diego Resort. Then we held the room block and ran the back and forth with the hotel so Pair Team did not have to.
The negotiation we ran for them
On the booked contract we secured complimentary meeting space against the food and beverage minimum, five complimentary room upgrades at the group rate, five complimentary welcome amenities, and five staff rooms at 25 percent off the group rate. All of it negotiated before they signed.
One signed contract, zero planning hours lost
Pair Team got a single point of contact, a venue that fit a much bigger headcount than they first scoped, and a contract that was already negotiated. Their team kept its time for the work that matters.
