CORPORATE HOSPITALITY
Insurers, Brokers, Networks, MGA's...
Focused, personal, value adding
The industry spends considerable time and budget on broker, client and prospect engagement - lunches, events, golf, hospitality days. Most are interchangeable. A cycling invitation immediately identifies you as understanding what matters to them. It's personal, it's relevant, and shows you've paid attention.
We expect you will be surprised by how many of the people important to your business are serious cyclists. They're logging miles before meetings, riding at weekends, planning cycling holidays.
Quality time, Not forced time
Self-Selecting Audience
Spending hours riding together creates real conversation and connection. The chat that happens on a bike, at cafe stops, over a post ride social - that's where relationships actually develop.
​
You're not trying to entertain everyone. You're creating something valued by a specific group of important individuals. A focus that is a strength not a limitation, "Are you going to do more rides like this?" is something you are likely and want to hear. Perhaps make it an annual event in a different location each time, or bring in an element of regional competition for fun and sustained engagement.
