EVENT MANAGER RECONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

VERY IMPORTANT!

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It is your responsibility to reconfirm all of your events each week; however, this is done as much for your benefit as it is your clients. Please set aside "office time" to reconfirm your upcoming weekend parties on Monday or Tuesday and no later than Wednesday afternoon. It is very important to have the invoice in front of you when you speak with the client so you may reconfirm everything in detail.

The reason we reconfirm our events is to catch any errors and avoid last minute confusion with our customers. We need to make sure the client agrees with the invoice and the service they will receive. If there are any discrepancies in the invoice, please tell the client you are going to contact the reservations office and have it corrected.

On the day of your party, when you arrive at your event, you MUST collect the balance due PRIOR to offloading your animals. Reservations office has carefully explained to the client upon booking that the balance is due upon arrival.

Additionally, you will have reiterated this with them when you reconfirmed your party. If you are uncomfortable collecting the balance due prior to the

party, please explain to the customer that it is our company policy that you do so. If there are questions at this point, please call Chamberlin reservations immediately and we will speak with the client to resolve any issues before you offload any animals.

Please keep in mind that phone tag and voice mail or text messages left to the customer is not considered "reconfirming" the party. If you have not spoken with and reconfirmed the details of the party with the client by Wednesday afternoon, please contact reservations and we will contact the client.

HOW TO CONFIRM AN EVENT WITH YOUR CLIENT

• PARTY DATE: Reconfirm the date and the day of the week of the event.
• TIME: Tell the client your estimated time of arrival for set up. Please keep in touch with your customer on the day of the event if you are running late.

• each additional hour charged as well as any trip fee).
• DEPOSIT PAID: - Reconfirm the deposit amount they paid.If they have carnival equipment or characters this service is provided by ABC and Terri or Dave from ABC will call the client and reconfirm thisportion of the invoice with them directly.
• OWE CASH DAY OF EVENT: Make sure the client understands the balance is due in cash and we will not accept a personal check (unless arrangements have been made in advance).

PERFORMANCE BASED ON

1. On time for your event

2. Animal’s appearance (cleanliness, ribbons etc...)

3. Chamberlin employees appearance

4. Chamberlin employees attitude

5. Chamberlin Event Manager appearance and attitude

6. Did the Chamberlin staff interact with the children?

7. How did you like the face painting (if applicable)?

8. How did you like the balloon twisting (if applicable)?

9. Were you satisfied with the party music and bubbles (if applicable)?

10. How was the equipment appearance? (Truck, trailer, fencing, saddles etc...)?

I often get calls from our clients at the end of the party. The majority of the time a client

will call to tell me what a WONDERFUL staff and party they had. When I do get a complaint it is most often:

•Clean-up was not sufficient.

•Pony walker did not assist the child on the pony.

•Late arrival. It is explained to every client that there is a possibility we may be

delayed due to traffic issues. I always suggest the client has us come toward the

beginning of the party for that reason. They usually understand as long as you

communicate with them. If you are going to be late (arrive less than 15 minutes

prior to the party start time). Please, call the client and communicate with them.

•Client paid for and did not receive face painting or balloons.

•No ribbons on pony or horse (I know it’s a tiny detail, however, it's very important

•No bubbles or music. * We include bubble machine (if client has power within 50

feet) and music in the price of our packages. I use the bubble machine as a

feature only Chamberlin provides. This machine has an $80 rental value.

However, it has no dollar value in the package price. After you are set up and

ready to begin your event, take a minute and point out all the stations to the

client.

•Event manager called to tell us they were running about 15 minutes late and

showed up almost an hour later. Had we known we would have had our food

earlier.

•Dirty animals

CREDIT FOR MISSED COMPONENTS

If you cannot provide the service, we promise. Please contact Chamberlin reservations and we will revise and issue a new invoice.  For your information, we charge $75 for each Component ($100 for additional horse or pony and $100 for face paint). You are expected to deduct this amount at the time of payment. You should communicate this with the client if you cannot provide what is expected. If you need assistance in speaking with the client regarding discounting components that were not included, you should contact Chamberlin reservations and we will explain the discount policy to the client.

CHAMBERLINS WRITTEN POLICY REGARDING EVENT LATE ARRIVALS 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“We make every effort to accommodate your party time. In the event that your party is delayed due to circumstances beyond our control, you will be given the choice of rescheduling your event, or you may cancel your event and receive a full refund of your deposit. No discount allowance will be given for late arrival due to circumstances beyond our control.”

The above statement is printed in on our customer invoice as well as our event checklist. It is printed to protect you from clients who do not understand an occasional unavoidable late arrival. It has not been created to excuse event managers from their responsibility to arrive at their events on a timely manner. It is your responsibility as an Event Manager to manage your time. Timeliness is expected and excessive late arrivals will result in decreased party assignments.

LATE ARRIVAL PROCEDURE

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As soon as you realize you are going to be late for an event start time. You are to contact the client and explain your situation and give them a realistic estimated arrival time. If you realize you are going to be more than 45 minutes late by the time you set up, you should suggest to the client that they go ahead with food and gifts and flip flop the party timing.

When the client reserves the party, it is explained to everyone that they should plan Chamberlin toward the beginning of the party. In the event that we are running late it will be easier for them to just change the time. You should politely remind the client of this if you feel you need to. If you are going to be more than 30 minutes late, you should also contact Chamberlin reservations

P a y me n t

At most parties when you arrive it's not imperative you request payment upon arrival. However, if you note on our invoice as well as here in the event checklist, we do ask the client to present payment upon arrival. Please use your own discretion when determining when you feel comfortable presenting the invoice and asking for payment.

If there is a question in your mind regarding the client giving you full payment at the end of the event, I support your decision to refuse to set up until payment has been made. You should have a blank copy of the event checklist with you, so you may politely remind the client of our policy

GROSS OR SERIOUS MISCONDUCT POLICY 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If an event manager deliberately breaches business policy or procedure, or engages in misconduct, Chamberlin Pony Rides may start improvement

procedures, or, in cases of serious misconduct or breach of policy, may dismiss an event manager.

If an event manager is involved in a serious accident as a result of total disregard for Chamberlin’s safety policies, termination of the event manager’s agreement with Chamberlin will be enforced.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Conflict of interest arises whenever the personal, professional or business interests of an employee are potentially at odds with the best interests of Chamberlin PonyRides.

Advise Chamberlin reservations of all events you provide in the name ofChamberlin Pony Rides. All events must go through Chamberlin Reservations.

All event managers are required to act in good faith towards Chamberlin Pony Rides. Event managers need to be aware of the potential for a conflict of interest to arise and should always act in the best interests of Chamberlin Pony Rides. As individuals, event managers may have private interests that from time to time conflict, or appear to conflict, with their agreement with Chamberlin Pony Rides. Event managers should aim to avoid being put in a situation where there may be a conflict between the interests of Chamberlin Pony Rides and their own personal

or professional interests, or those of relatives or friends.

P ro c e du re

Event managers must disclose any other events they provide to client’s that might cause a conflict of interest with Chamberlin Pony Rides. Where there are external involvements that do not represent a conflict of interest, these must not affect performance or attendance whilst representing Chamberlin Pony Rides. If such involvement does affect performance or attendance, it will be considered a conflict

of interest.

Event managers must not set up or engage in private business or undertake other pony parties or petting zoo events in direct or indirect competition with  Chamberlin Pony Rides using knowledge and/or materials gained during the course of agreement with Chamberlin Pony Rides.

Failure to declare a potential, actual or perceived conflict of interest or to take  remedial action agreed with Chamberlin Pony Rides, in a timely manner, may result in agreement dismissal.

ANIMAL CARE AND CONDITION

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All animals used for Chamberlin events are expected to be maintained in excellent condition. The following guidelines are put in place for our animal's health and for the reputation of Chamberlin Pony Rides. All event managers are expected to follow these guidelines. These are only guidelines; always follow your veterinarian’s advice.

We, as event managers owe it to our animals to see that they are treated with the utmost respect. They work hard for us, and we owe it to them to see that they are cared for properly. There is a fine line between working animals and exploitation of animals for our benefit.

ANIMAL APPERANCE 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The appearance of all animals associated with any Chamberlin event is very important. This includes good grooming habits. All animals should be cleaned and brushed thoroughly and checked for external parasites. Proper hoof care of all hooved stock should be done on a regular basis. (typically every 6-8 weeks).

Animals should be in good weight, not too thin, nor too heavy. Care should be taken with the smaller pets, such as rabbits, that their teeth and nails are trimmed as needed.

E q u i n e L i a b i l i t y A c t

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All event managers should read and understand the Michigan Equine Activity Liability Act. It is for your protection. You should post this notice clearly on a table or sign in the lawn.
