Virtual Seminar for Future Innkeepers
May 25, 2024-May 25, 2024
10:00 AM-5:00 PM
As an Aspiring Innkeeper or hospitality professional, you need a clear vision of starting a bed and breakfast or inn as a business and a lifestyle. In your seminar, we will address and work with you to understand all aspects of this wonderful and rewarding career. Our goal is to ensure that your goals are met as you work through the process. We will work with you to help you decide whether Innkeeping is the right profession for you, personally and financially. Your seminar provides a comprehensive overview of starting a bed and breakfast from Amenities to Zoning. Examples of the many essential “starting a bed and breakfast” topics we cover are:
- Innkeeping 101 – industry overview
- Building the profile of your inn – make it right for you
- Due diligence – know before you buy
- Finding and acquiring the inn – the process
- Inn financing – what you need to know
- Inn valuation – is the price right?
- Business planning – your roadmap to success in starting a bed and breakfast
- Marketing – blogging, social media, websites, print, networking
- Operations – a day in the life of an Innkeeper
The Virtual Seminar is being offered as an alternative to our in-person aspiring Innkeeper sessions. This seven-hour session covers much of the same material as the One Day Comprehensive Seminar and will help to affirm attendees’ interest in a possible Inn purchase. The seminar includes six hours of instruction, workbooks, personalized follow-up consultation, and access to the Virtual Seminar Page of our website which will be continually updated with resource materials for B&B Team seminar graduates.
The Virtual Seminar begins at 10:00 AM and ends at 5PM and will welcome attendee participation throughout the day. There will be a 45-minute lunch break and the seminar will be recorded and sent to attendees so they can review materials in their own time. The cost of the Virtual Seminar is $195.00. Instructors: Eben Viens, David Hiler & Guests
