I want to address my relationship with Nancy Nachman of the Meetings Concierge. I have dealt with Nancy for over 5 years now. I have yet to meet another person in this industry who cares as much about their clients as does Nancy. She is so committed to making sure that all of her clients are 100% happy. I cannot imagine how much time she must save each client by doing the searches and presenting all qualified options. I also know that because of my long standing relationship with her, our hotels look at leads she sends over more favorably. Because of her buying power, this translates to lower rates, better concessions, and increased attention to the leads from my hotels. I would imagine that the other national chains feel the same way about her. She is an asset to her clients, and I admire her professionalism and passion that she has for this industry. Based on my experience, you would be hard pressed to find a better planner or advocate for your company.
