Sellin' Paper and Callin' Balls

The always-dynamic Steve Browne from Raving Consulting is back for another standing-room only workshop as part of the BingoWorld program. Sellin’ Paper and Callin’ Balls: Playing the Service Game to Win! is the latest installment of his popular customer service workshop and you are sure to be informed, entertained, enlightened and energized! From building a service program for your bingo hall, to teaching individual service techniques and tactics, this session is designed for both hall managers and the front-line employees they supervise. It provides a fresh and enduring perspective on the importance of service.

Bingo University

The fourth annual Bingo University is a three-hour, three-session, hands-on learning experience in a classroom-style environment that focuses on sharing the best tactics in the industry for marketing your bingo venue. The goal is to give you the tools needed to maximize the potential of your bingo hall and to create the most successful bingo operation possible. Attendees will be issued workbooks and encouraged to interact with instructors and moderators. Those completing all three sessions will receive a 2010 Graduation Certificate.
