The CRM for corporate event venues
Corporate event venue software.
Inquiry to signed proposal.
An RFP arrives: several days, a general session room, breakout rooms, a budget. Joinways prepares a line-by-line proposal that reads without a callback. The account history is ready for the next inquiry.
Every RFP in one place
Corporate inquiries land in a shared queue with every detail already extracted from the message. No RFP left sitting in a personal inbox.
Proposals ready to sign
One approved template, your price list, itemized lines, sales tax and service charges. E-signature and deposit request in the same send.
Revenue, response times, lost reasons
Open deals by stage, booking rate by channel, revenue by room. The overview keeps itself current: no spreadsheet to rebuild for finance.
The essentials: running corporate events at a venue
A venue selling meetings, offsites, conferences and company parties gets structured inquiries: dates, headcount, budget, sometimes a full RFP. Joinways gathers them into a single queue, builds the proposal from your catalog of spaces and services, and follows the booking through to the invoice.
- One queue: website form, email, phone, agencies and marketplaces, with every detail extracted
- Multi-space, multi-day proposals with optional extras, e-signature and an online deposit
- A room calendar with dated holds: a slot already promised by one salesperson is flagged to the other
- Scheduled follow-ups after the proposal goes out, without writing them one by one
- The full history of every account: past events, the setup they keep, the terms you agreed
- Reports on inquiry sources, lost reasons and response time
What Joinways keeps in one place
Emails, website forms and connected platforms in a single queue.
Proposals, client emails, tasks and signature status on the same event.
Stage, booking rate and response time, with no spreadsheet in between.
Core challenges for corporate venues and meeting spaces
Response time and precise pricing both weigh in a corporate buyer's shortlist.
RFPs buried in email threads
A company sends the same RFP to several venues. At yours it waits in a personal inbox while someone is away, and the answer goes out once the room is booked elsewhere. With Joinways the inquiry lands in a shared queue with every detail extracted from the message, and the team answers the same day.
No visibility across rooms and dates
A company asks about availability for a three-day offsite. Your team opens two calendars, calls the operations manager, then gets back to the client at the end of the day. Joinways holds your meeting rooms, conference halls and breakout spaces in one calendar: you answer without walking the building.
Proposals cobbled together in Word or PDF
Every salesperson formats their own: prices move, the layout changes, and a company that receives two proposals from the same venue notices. In Joinways the proposal comes out of an approved template, with your price list, room photos and packages: the same document every time.
Recurring clients treated like new inquiries
Your best accounts hold a board meeting every quarter and a retreat every year, and still every request starts from a blank page. Joinways keeps the account history: past bookings, the setup they keep, proposals sent, terms agreed. The next request starts where the last one stopped.
What the sales team uses every day
Inquiries, proposals and signatures, without retyping them.
Unified inquiry queue
Email, website form, phone, RFPs from sourcing agencies and platform notifications: everything arrives in one prioritized queue. The details in each message are extracted and summarized before sorting.
Multi-room availability calendar
Conference rooms, boardrooms and event spaces in one view. Filter by capacity, equipment and setup. Place a dated hold and release it if the client doesn't confirm.
Corporate proposal builder
Room photos, space details, AV packages, catering menus: the proposal is built from your catalog. Add optional extras, apply a volume discount, send it for e-signature.
Corporate account CRM
Every exchange stays attached to the account: past events, preferred setup, negotiated rates, key contacts. When a repeat client calls, the context is on screen before you pick up.
Signature tracking
Where each proposal stands, which amendment needs a new signature, when to send a reminder. The client finds the version history without asking you.
Sales and revenue views
Open deals by stage, booking rate by channel, value of the quarter, updated as deals move. Finance reads the same figures you do.
From RFP to signed proposal
The inquiry, proposal and follow-up stay visible to the whole team.

Sort it on arrival
Every inquiry enters the queue with every detail already extracted from the message. The team assigns it to the right salesperson, checks availability and prioritizes the inquiries the venue can answer. Nobody retypes an RFP into a spreadsheet.
Prepare a proposal that stands on its own
The proposal comes from an approved template: line items, sales tax, dated holds and an expiration date. The recipient has everything needed to review it and get it signed. The deposit request goes out in the same email.
Keep the account
After the event, the debrief stays on the account and the reminders are scheduled. The next proposal goes out with the account history in view: same room, same AV setup, same terms.
Use cases for corporate venues
Offsites, board meetings, training days and launches, with the same details carried through to the BEO (banquet event order).
Multi-day company offsites
A tech company books three days for 120 people: general session room in the mornings, four breakout rooms in the afternoons, welcome dinner on day one, team building on day two. The whole program sits in one event with its linked sub-events: one BEO and one task list for all of it.
Recurring board meetings
A financial services firm holds its board meeting at your venue every quarter: same room, same AV setup, same catering preferences. Duplicate last quarter's event, adjust the dates, send it for approval. It takes five minutes, with no new sales cycle to run.
Training days and workshops
An HR department books one training session a month, rotating between three room setups. Joinways follows the rotation, keeps the equipment needs on the BEO and creates the prep tasks before each session.
Product launches and press events
A luxury brand takes your venue for a launch: 80 guests, precise lighting requirements, branded signage, cocktail reception. Those requirements live on the BEO and the task list, and the client's agency stays on the email thread.
The proposal should read without a phone call
A good answer covers every point in the RFP, and once the event is over, the next follow-up with the account is already scheduled.
Answer the RFP the way it was asked: restate dates, headcount, room setup and AV needs line by line. The buyer can check every point without calling you.
Write a proposal that stands on its own: line items, sales tax and service charges, optional extras and an expiration date. It can be forwarded without your commentary.
Plan the next inquiry before the event: record the debrief and schedule the follow-up with a first date to offer. A recurring offsite should not restart from a blank page.
What a sales director checks every week
- Time from RFP to complete proposal, by salesperson
- Win rate on corporate RFPs, read separately from private inquiries
- Share of corporate revenue from repeat accounts
Follow-up for the next event starts after the last one
After the offsite, record what worked, what got tight and the date they have in mind. A few weeks later, the next proposal picks up that debrief and the terms already agreed. The salesperson has the context before calling the account again.
A conference center turns one-off offsites into quarterly accounts
Starting point
An independent conference center outside Denver: twelve meeting rooms, a sales team of four. It wins corporate offsites regularly but rarely sees the same company twice. RFPs take two to three days to answer, every salesperson has their own layout, and after the event nobody calls back.
What they put in place
Details are extracted from every inquiry on arrival, there is one proposal template with line items, sales tax and service charges, and an account routine runs in Joinways: debrief logged after each event, reminders set, next-quarter date proposed within two weeks.
One year later
The first proposal goes out the same business day, instead of two or three days later. The debrief is on file and the next quarter's date is proposed right away. The team spends less time re-winning companies it already had, and more on the inquiries it hasn't answered yet.
