Meeting 6 – Feb 9, 2026 – Working Session Notes
1. Quick Status Check (5 min)
- BG: 10 Venue List status? (names only vs contacts, any face-to-face visits yet?)
- TG: Any blockers on site cleanup / media handling?
2. Today’s Focus Topics (15–20 min)
A) 10 Venue List (BG ownership)
- Decision: BG will create a Google Sheet in amxevents1@gmail.com and share with TG (view + edit).
- Minimum columns:
Venue Name | City | Contact Name | Role | Email | Phone | Notes | Warm/Cold
- Today: agree on the 10 venues that go in the list first. B) Photos and Videos Access (TG + BG)
- Goal: centralize *usable* media for site, profiles, and outbound.
- Decisions:
- Where: Create a “AMX-Marketing-Media” folder in Dropbox.
- What:
- Copy photos/videos from Darrell’s phone into that folder.
- Subfolders: /events, /tables, /crowd, /logos, /raw
- Who:
- BG: get Darrell’s phone media into Dropbox (even if rough).
- TG: pick 10–20 best assets and tag them “website-ready.”
TG task: Scrap amxevents facebook page posts
C) Social Proof / Testimonials (BG)
- Goal: capture ANY positive proof, even if 10+ years old.
- Sources:
- Positive comments in texts/email.
- Old reviews.
- Nice replies from vendors or clients.
- Output:
- BG collects at least 5 raw quotes into a doc:
- Name (or “School Administrator”), Org, Year (approx), 1–3 sentence quote.
- TG later formats into a simple “What people say” block on homepage.
D) Top 10 Business Profiles to Create (BG + TG) (Push to Next week)
- Goal: decide where AMX *must* exist online for trust + SEO (create later this week/next).
- Shortlist to align on:
- Today: just agree on the top 5–7 “must-have” profiles so BG has a future task stack.
E) Manually-Delivered Service: Live Vendor ETA Updates (Ops design)
Concerns about DJ and Bands
Trip time risks
coordinator will be buffer with client.
Roadie vs Band
- Concept: AMX sends SMS updates to client with vendor ETA / on-site status.
- Define the v1 process:
- Who sends texts? (BG, TG, or event-day coordinator?)
- When: e.g., “Out the door,” “30 min out,” “On site.”
- Decide:
- Is this part of every package, or only “Concierge/Coordinator” level?
- What wording feels simple and safe? (Example: “Your DJ is 25 minutes away and on schedule.”)
e1.) “Find My Friends”–Style Location Idea
- Treat as inspiration, not a feature to build now.
- Decide:
- We will NOT build live location tracking yet.
- We WILL simulate reliability with:
- Manual SMS updates from AMX.
- Internal checklist for vendors to text when en route/on site.
G) 3 Levels of Service – Draft Definitions
- Goal: align on names + rough promises; detail later.
- Working draft to react to:
1) Coordinator
- Day-of logistics only; confirms vendors, timelines, and handles basic on-site coordination.
- Limited planning; client has already chosen vendors and venue. Coordinator include talent sources.
2) Concierge
- AMX helps source and match vendors (casino tables, DJ, etc.), negotiates basics, and provides day-of coordination.
- Client gets 2–3 vetted options per category and SMS updates on vendor status.
3) Professional Planner (Planner organization)
- Full or partial planning in partnership with a pro planner (for weddings / large events).
- AMX focuses on talent/venue rails and keeps communication and payments on-platform.
- Today: agree on:
- Names (Coordinator / Concierge / Planner or other labels).
- ONE sentence positioning for each (who it’s for).
- Which level will be your default for “casino night fundraiser” in Austin.
3. End of Meeting – Next Week Focus (5 min)
- Pick ONE main focus for BG for the next 7 days (e.g., “Finish 10-venue sheet + collect 5 testimonials”).
- Pick ONE main focus for TG for the next 7 days (e.g., “Centralize media + add basic testimonials section to homepage”).
- Confirm time for next meeting.
```
Next meeting:
confirm free space and access to B) If A,B,C are done, then assign 10 business profiles to start D task Discuss E more to start defining rules for tracking by coordinator Continue discussing definition of G.
Meeting – Feb 9, 2026 – Outcomes
A) 10 Venue List (BG ownership)
- Status: In progress.
- BG is setting up a Google Sheet in amxevents1@gmail.com with venue data and will share access with TG.
- Sheet will hold: Venue Name, City, Contact Name, Role, Email, Phone, Notes, Warm/Cold.
B) Photos and Videos Access
- Status: In progress.
- BG is freeing up space on laptop for photo/video assets.
- BG will upgrade Dropbox subscription so there is enough space to share assets with TG.
- Plan: Create a shared “AMX-Marketing-Media” folder and subfolders for events, tables, crowd, logos, raw.
C) Social Proof / Testimonials (BG)
- Status: In progress.
- BG is gathering testimonials (old and new) and placing them in a shared Dropbox folder for TG.
- Sources: any positive comments, reviews, or emails from customers or vendors (even 10+ years old).
D) Top 10 Business Profiles to Create
- Status: Deferred.
- Decision: Push detailed selection/creation of business profiles to next week, after A/B/C are done.
E) Manually-Delivered Service: Live Vendor ETA Updates (Ops design)
- Concern: DJs and bands have higher arrival-time risk; need a realistic way to manage ETA updates.
- TG shared Glympse as an example app for real-time location/ETA coordination for internal use.
- Direction:
- AMX coordinator acts as a buffer with the client (client talks to AMX, not directly to every vendor).
- Explore a “talent rebate/reward” for on-time arrival and strong client satisfaction as an incentive mechanism.
- More work needed next meeting on exact rules (when coordinator checks in, what triggers updates, what qualifies for reward).
G) 3 Levels of Service – Draft Definitions
- Clarification: Even when the client has already chosen vendors and venue, the Coordinator role may still include some talent sourcing.
- Need to continue refining:
- What exactly Coordinator does vs Concierge vs Professional Planner.
- Which level applies by default to “casino night fundraiser” packages.
Next Meeting – Agenda Seed
1) Quick status checks
- A) 10 Venue List: Is the Google Sheet created and shared? Are the first 10 venues entered?
- B) Photos/Videos: Is Dropbox upgraded and is there a shared “media” folder with at least some assets?
- C) Testimonials: Are at least 3–5 raw testimonials collected in the shared folder?
2) If A, B, C are done (or mostly done)
- Assign D) “Top 10 Business Profiles” as a concrete task:
- Agree on the 5–7 must-have profiles.
- Assign who creates which profile and by when.
3) E) Live Vendor ETA Updates
- Continue discussion:
- Define simple v1 rules for coordinator tracking (what info, how often, via SMS or call).
- Decide where Glympse-style tracking fits (internal only; not building product yet).
- Rough idea of on-time arrival reward structure.
4) G) 3 Levels of Service
- Continue defining:
- One-sentence positioning for Coordinator, Concierge, Professional Planner.
- Which level is standard for:
- Casino night nonprofit fundraiser.
- Corporate casino night.
