Overview
When you think Bloomberg, you probably picture trading terminals and breaking financial news. But there’s another side to the business that runs on smart conversations and premium experiences – the Enterprise Ticket Sales group. They offer corporate clients exclusive access to Bloomberg-hosted conferences, summits, and curated events. It’s not just about selling tickets; it’s about deepening relationships with top-tier executives.
But even the most polished event can’t run without a strong pipeline. And when that pipeline depends on one person doing it all, the margin for error shrinks fast.
The Challenge
One Rep, Many Hats
There’s solo selling, and then there’s solo selling at Bloomberg. The Global Manager of Ticket Sales was handling outreach without the luxury of an SDR army. Every list, every email, every call, it was all on him.
Data Sources That Felt Like Jigsaw Puzzles
Building prospect lists from public databases felt more like detective work than sales. And just when he thought he had a good lead, it turned out to be outdated or missing crucial details. That’s a fast track to frustration.
The Cold Call Blues
No direct dials. No firmographic filters. No context. The result? Calls that rarely turned into conversations and even fewer that led to booked meetings.
