Have you ever given up on a prospect too soon? A common mistake salespeople make is using the “Three and Out” approach. After three unsuccessful follow-up attempts, many salespeople mark them off as “not-qualified”.
But what if we told you that only 10% of all salespeople make more than three attempts to connect with their prospects, but 80% of sales are made between the fifth and twelfth attempt and contact? That’s a lot of missed opportunities!
Stand out from the competition by nurturing your prospect accounts with a consistent and persistent problem-solving approach.
Session Goals:

To help each attendee leave with a plan and a system that will help them to target, connect and close new and better business more effectively.
To increase top-line revenues and profits.
To have fun learning!

We are encouraging you to bring your boss – we are offering them the member rate to join us to check out the quality education HSMAI has to offer members.

The proceeds from this year’s Auction will go directly toward supporting chapter programs and Free Arts Arizona. Since 1993, Free Arts of Arizona has used the arts to provide opportunities for children to express themselves … transforming childhood trauma to resilience. Every child who has experienced the trauma of abuse, neglect and/or homelessness has access to resilience-building arts programs and caring adult volunteer mentors. More information is at: https://freeartsaz.org/.
THE CONCEPT OF THE AUCTION
The original Chinese Auction was conceived in 1982 by the Arizona Chapter of the Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International. This event has gained national recognition and has been adopted by numerous HSMAI and MPI chapters through the U.S. as their major fundraiser.
The auction was originally given the Chinese theme due to the location of the event – the former China Doll Restaurant in Phoenix. Over the years, the auction has grown and has moved its location to larger venues. The Chinese theme has remained.

Watch Video
The idea of the auction is to provide each guest with a list of prizes (such as dinners, golf outings, gift baskets, services, and hotel/resort stays) and a numbered stick. Each table is supplied with a bucket that is placed in the middle. Starting with the number one item, the auctioneer describes that item and asks the guests who are interested in bidding on this item to toss a quarter or quarters in the bucket. The guest then holds their stick in the air. The auctioneer calls out the numbers that are held up. A gonger (who cannot see or hear what is going on) is responsible for hitting the gong after a few seconds. The last number called out when the gong rings has won that prize and goes to the stage to claim it. This sequence of events goes on throughout the evening until all prizes are gone. Over the years, a silent and live auction have also been added to the event.
This event has won numerous awards including “Stars of the Industry” Awards from the Arizona Lodging & Tourism Association, “Awards of Excellence in Association Management” from the Arizona Society of Association Executives and several HSMAI International Awards.
In 2022, the name of our event was changed to be more diverse and inclusive, but the year of the Chinese Zodiac and the Asian theme remain.
Come ready to have a great time.
This is the perfect event to bring family members, friends, and co-workers too.

“THE FUTURE OF WORK IS FLOW”
Presented by Jeska Brodbeck, CEO, Be Light Consulting
We are “kicking off the new year” and inviting our members to “get into the zone” by joining us at our January 26th football themed meeting and mixer. We encourage you to wear your favorite football team jersey or team colors.
Three leading hospitality/meeting industry associations – Meeting Professionals International (MPI) Arizona Sunbelt Chapter, the Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI) Arizona Chapter, and the Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA) Southwest and Pacific Chapter, are “teaming up” for this special program.

REGISTER NOW!

Welcome to the Future of Work— a new reality where anyone can reach their highest level of performance without the negative stress by learning how to enter and sustain Flow State.
There are over 40 years of verifiable scientific research on it; Olympic athletes hire coaches to teach them how to access it. The Navy Seals also pay the big bucks to learn how to stay in it— yet Corporate America is not even talking about it. Instead, mainstream work culture asserts the myth that if we work harder and faster, we can get it all done. The reality is that the work never ends, and chronic stress destroys the very productivity we need to be successful.
The typical anti-stress tips and tricks are just a bandaid over the real issue: negative stress blocks our creative genius, our ability to solve complex problems, and our enjoyment of the work that we do.
We’re standing at the edge of one of the greatest paradigm shifts of our time. Join Jeska to learn more about how you, too, can radically transform your relationship with stress and truly create a life of meaning and purpose through Flow State at this one-of-a-kind keynote.
By accessing and mastering your own Flow State, you will have the opportunity to:
Rewire your experience of stress to quintuple effectiveness

THE CONCEPT OF THE AUCTION
The original Chinese Auction was conceived in 1982 by the Arizona Chapter of the Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International. This event has gained national recognition and has been adopted by numerous HSMAI and MPI chapters through the U.S. as their major fundraiser.
The auction was originally given the Chinese theme due to the location of the event – the former China Doll Restaurant in Phoenix. Over the years, the auction has grown and has moved its location to larger venues. The Chinese theme has remained.
The idea of the auction is to provide each guest with a list of prizes (such as dinners, golf outings, gift baskets, services, and hotel/resort stays) and a numbered stick. Each table is supplied with a bucket that is placed in the middle. Starting with the number one item, the auctioneer describes that item and asks the guests who are interested in bidding on this item to toss a quarter or quarters in the bucket. The guest then holds their stick in the air. The auctioneer calls out the numbers that are held up. A gonger (who cannot see or hear what is going on) is responsible for hitting the gong after a few seconds. The last number called out when the gong rings has won that prize and goes to the stage to claim it. This sequence of events goes on throughout the evening until all prizes are gone. Over the years, a silent and live auction have also been added to the event.
This event has won numerous awards including “Stars of the Industry” Awards from the Arizona Lodging & Tourism Association, “Awards of Excellence in Association Management” from the Arizona Society of Association Executives and several HSMAI International Awards.
In 2022, the name of our event was changed to be more diverse and inclusive, but the year of the Chinese Zodiac and the Asian theme remain.
Come ready to have a great time.
This is the perfect event to bring family members, friends, and co-workers too.

ABOUT CHRISTIAAN ROLLICH
Christiaan Röllich celebrated cocktail book author and mixologists, hails from a small village fifteen minutes outside of Amsterdam. On his fourteenth birthday he arrived at the local tavern dressed up in a shirt, tie and slacks and knocked on the door seeking employment. The owner informed him that he was too young and should try again when he was older. One year later, on his birthday, Röllich returned and was hired as a dishwasher due to his tenacity.
It was widely assumed Röllich would work in the family hospital business, but after a string of odd jobs and a six-month university stint where he studied psychology, he realized it wasn’t a good fit. He literally ran away and joined the carnival, becoming a carney in a travelling fair, working the midway. After two years, Röllich gave university another shot while bar backing at a nightclub to earn extra money, and studying acting on the side. He saved enough money to come to the United States and studied acting at the Lee Strasberg School. Within six months he got a sponsorship to live in Los Angeles and signed with LA Models, lining up another career.
Röllich’s Los Angeles life brought him to Les Deux Café for extra income while pursuing his acting and modeling gigs. Les Deux was the venerable Hollywood hangout run by Michele Lamy and her husband/designer Rick Owens. He worked as a busser but noticed that the bartender was lazy and frequently jumped in to clean up the bar for extra tips while the bartender smoked cigarettes in the alley. Before long, people started asking him to make drinks. Another bartender from New York mentored him and taught the layout. “He gave me the blueprint of how to set up a bar in the same pattern I use even today,” says Röllich. “I still carry the memory and lessons that I learned from that bartender. He changed my life.”
When Café Les Deux closed Röllich traveled to Europe and returned to Los Angeles in 2007. A friend of his was working at Lucques, got him an interview, and he was hired as a part time bartender. It was before the cocktail explosion and everyone was still measuring spirits by counting with no real science. But Röllich became intrigued by the use of combining science, math and artistry to create craft cocktails and began his self-education.
James Beard Award winner Suzanne Goin describes how he would snoop around in the kitchen, during that time, tasting everything he could, and asking lots and lots of questions. All while soaking up her philosophy and techniques and thinking about how he could apply them to the world of drink. He was beginning to build a bridge from the kitchen to the bar.
When Röllich finished college, he was forced with the choice, what future to pick? What would be best for his new wife and newborn son? Tavern had opened in Brentwood and Styne and Goin asked if Röllich could bring the Lucques philosophy there as well. Medical field or Restaurant’s? Needless to say, he kept growing the Lucques Group bar program over the next decade
The re-locating of AOC in 2013 with a full bar, really threw him in to the lime light, and his Green Goddess Cocktail, became a Los Angeles favorite. It was published by Bon Appetite, LA Magazine, Washington Post and LA Times. Meanwhile AOC quickly got its status as number one restaurant in Los Angeles. The Lucques group of restaurants became known as a cocktail destinations on top of its amazing food and wine.
During this time he developed a following on Rodeo drive from Prada and Gucci, to Presidents and heads of states at private parties catered by Lucques Catering. His career blossomed with celebrity weddings and specialty cocktails he developed for each celebrity, and each special event.
In 2019 Röllich chose one hundred of his handcrafted t recipes and wrote his Tales of the Cocktails nominated book, “BAR CHEF: Handcrafted Cocktails” published by W.W. Norton This is an inside look into the memories and experiences that shape Röllich’s recipes, each a result of immense experimentation and ardent refining—and distilled through the guidance of James Beard Award–winning writer Carolynn Carreño. It is an inviting handbook for cocktails rooted in classics and updated with a farm-to-glass ethos, from “one of LA’s most innovative mixologists”; (Forbes)
Röllich relishes making everything from scratch – from tinctures and syrups, to bitter and absinthe. There are no shortcuts that go into the science of making his products. Röllich loves the challenge of the changing seasons and is constantly experimenting with new cocktails for the restaurants inspired by his visits to the Farmers’ Market and customizing his beverage program menus for fall, winter, spring and summer
As head barman at Lucques, a.o.c. and Tavern, Christiaan Röllich has been lauded and published by the Los Angeles Times, Bon Appétit, Eater LA, People, Los Angeles Magazine, Details, Food and Wine, Vogue, Forbes, and Elle, among others, for establishing thriving bar programs at some of Los Angeles’ most-watched restaurants. “He continues to create head-turning, palate-pleasing craft cocktails to pair with the James Beard award-winning cuisine,” said Los Angeles Magazine blogger, Caroline Padrilla. Besha Rodell, James Beard award-winning restaurant critic from the LA Weekly states, “Behind that bar is Christiaan Röllich, one of the country’s most promising up-and-coming crafters of cocktails”
Accolades
“X-Factor: Barman Christiaan Röllich of A.O.C. (#1) Christiaan Röllich is also the man behind the bar programs at Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne’s other successful restaurants—Lucques and Tavern—but it was his creations at A.O.C. that helped put it at the top of L.A. Magazine’s 75 Best Restaurants list.” — Caroline Pardilla, Los Angeles Magazine
