Found this on expansion and the growing of MLS in our sports landscape in the U.S.: Good read! https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/08/...referral&utm_content=news&utm_campaign=unpaid
Did they leave out the 30 minute presentation on time-share opportunities in Hawaii? http://www.houstondynamo.com/fantour
This survey must have only included Dynamo employees and @brahmafutbol in the sample. This is almost comical. The fan experience is so good the team is drawing 15% fewer fans than 3 years ago!! 🏅🏅🏅Dynamo rank first in Houston in the #JDPowerFanStudy: https://t.co/L2xLCFlGmH pic.twitter.com/NadJA14TWF— Houston Dynamo FC (@HoustonDynamo) August 16, 2017
Super sales guy jumped the shark for good today - equating the JD Power fan survey ranking with an MLS Cup trophy Ton of credit to our marketing & stadium ops teams...but huge thx to our amazing fans! Love #MLS Cups, but these awards sustain tough times! https://t.co/BIl6yoYPpU— Brett Zalaski (@bzalaski) August 16, 2017
Ironically they've been living off those Cups for years. Sustain tough times indeed, Basic cognitive dissonance between paper awards and down attendance.
The personal touch is really emphasized in this approach Phone? 👍 CRM firing? 👍 Price sheet? 👍 Making @HoustonDynamo calls today..and already on the board! Love connecting with our fans! pic.twitter.com/DafhfTRWeh— Brett Zalaski (@bzalaski) August 22, 2017
I've never seen a business meeting with so many people appearing to be jacked up about a new sales tool!! #FEVO roll out with our @HoustonDynamo/@HoustonDash staff today. Pumped to use this group amplification tool! pic.twitter.com/aDEC2XNyEr— Brett Zalaski (@bzalaski) August 22, 2017
Can't tell if these guys are locked in rapt attention to the sales training or if they feel like they are part of an ISIS propaganda video Thanks to @lindseyboggs for spending some time w/ @HoustonDynamo/@HoustonDash sales teams to talk #socialselling. Absolutely one of best! pic.twitter.com/17E7wLnm0t— Brett Zalaski (@bzalaski) September 20, 2017
Nothing says "authentic" pregame craft beer fest more than having beers from only brewers owned by Anheuser Busch. What local EaDo flavor!! Match w/ huge playoff implications. 8 tastes of great brew (@BreckBrew, @karbachbrewing, @GooseIsland). Only $47. https://t.co/YU0yXyxMLN pic.twitter.com/7uw4GDtoEg— Brett Zalaski (@bzalaski) September 22, 2017
as a person who makes their living in sales--sales in food and beverage no less--I'm gonna need an explanation of how the geniuses came up with the $47 price. Charge $49 and no one knows the difference. leaving money on the table. this is commodity pricing 101. PS idiots
The guy he responded to has a private account, but guessing he called out Super Sales Guy on the lack of "diversity" in craft beers limited to those owned by the giant Anheuser Busch. There's stadium pouring rights that prevent that...but we're very proud of lineup. Appreciate our partners stepping up to make this work!— Brett Zalaski (@bzalaski) September 23, 2017
I'm sure their teacher sponsors didn't have "boiler room sales person" on their list of potential career choices Huge @HoustonDynamo welcome to DECA, AVID, & FBLA students from all around #HTX! Excited to be speaking to them today! pic.twitter.com/uusPoPvv4x— Brett Zalaski (@bzalaski) September 27, 2017
This must have been some pep rally! Was there a reason they had to go to the practice facility for it? Thanks to @ChrisCanetti, @brianching, & some @HoustonDynamo players for helping get the staff fired up for the playoff push! #ItsOn pic.twitter.com/3uRobJIRwo— Brett Zalaski (@bzalaski) October 3, 2017
Pep Rally, out at the training grounds. Sheet, our FO staff could turn up in our supporters section at every home game and sing their favorite club songs. Assuming that they know them by heart! DALE DALE DALE DYNAMO! Repeat - ain't the toughest song to remember!
There might be some truth to speculation that Dynamo season ticket interest is flagging. I received a call from a ticket rep Tuesday offering free tickets to Wednesday's match and the final home match. I asked if any strings were attached, and the rep said no. I understand they might be at a no-loss point and giving away the tickets might lead to new followers as opposed to waste, but if I were still a season ticket-holder that'd greatly annoy me. Anyway, for what it's worth...
Flash Seats sale prices yesterday were extremely low - but somewhat understandable with a weekday school night game. A little surprised they aren't just all our selling the final day game as "Judgement Day" or something. But the base has eroded and enthusiasm is down regardless of the manufactured hype. Astros interest is steamrolling everyone else except the Texans right now. Years of neglect and contempt for their customers is what the Dynamo is paying for now
I've only renewed one ST for the coming season, and have not purchased the "playoff strip" that they're pushing - somehow a $586 investment for 2 seats at 3 maybe games is not on my list of things to do. Plus if they don't make the playoffs you don't get a refund, just a credit on next season.
He's rebranding the team in 2018 as Boiler Room FC. I had to laugh when I saw they were selling some playoff strip about a month ago for all these games not even knowing how many home ones they might have. OK, the other major league teams do it too but they actually have ticket demand where if the STH don't buy the seats, others will.
I'm gonna guess this bar eruption was due to the Astros World Series game, not an MLS knockout round tilt Heard HTX neighbors cheering & ohhhhhhing from bar across street...& I agree. Crazy start to #RBNY & @ChicagoFire in @Audi #MLSCupPlayoffs! pic.twitter.com/Hu2KZtXJed— Brett Zalaski (@bzalaski) October 26, 2017
I don't click on animations but generally Super Sales Guy is so out there with his hype machine it seemed quite plausible for him to tweet. I mean, he's tweeted about how lit and exciting dismally attended Dynamo games are all season
