Fix a broken industry

The event industry is one of the most diverse and exciting in the world – but the technology organizers use is still stuck in the early 2000s. From our conversation with thousands of organizers, we know just how unhappy they are with their current solutions. With vivenu, we are building the first serious challenger to incumbent solutions in decades, based on the principles of openness, independence, and simplicity – and a best-in-class technology stack that enables organizers around the world to do more, faster, build their own solutions on top of the vivenu API, and achieve true autonomy.

Your impact is straightforward: You will revolutionize ticketing worldwide.

Our Sales DNA

Get it done

Getting it done is all about doing whatever it takes to build a trust-led relationship with prospects that blossoms into a real partnership even before a contract is signed. Checking in, providing assistance, and effectively solving their challenges is all part of this – and we run through walls to deliver on this commitment.

Be relentless

Deals can be complex and some situations frustrating, and there are definitely days where the going gets tough. Pulling through against the odds while keeping a cool head is essential to consistent outperformance in our team. Being relentless is all about cultivating this attitude and inspiring it in your colleagues.

Keep growing

Our industry is extremely fast-paced, so if we want to stay competitive, we simply can’t afford to stop evolving – both when it comes to our product and how we tell the vivenu story to potential customers. This requires constantly updating our knowledge, learning about what our customers need, and always going the extra mile.

Deliver the 100x

Exceptional outcomes start with a huge and unceasing ambition. We go to work every day with one goal: To deliver a product and service experience that is 100x better than what our customers have used before. This is what measure our work against. If we don’t deliver an outstanding result, we have fallen short and will try again.

What does a typical day look like?

Team check-in

Follow-up calls & lead acquisition

Prep first scheduled call of the day

Your first meeting of the day is a big one: The zoo of a major city with two million visitors a year has been looking for a new ticketing system. After many meetings and negotiations, you have agreed on terms, now they want to go over the contract one more time. You spend some time preparing for this call reviewing the terms again.

Meeting with Head of Ticketing of major zoo

This is the third and final meeting with this customer: The Head of Ticketing is the decision maker. After answering her last questions about the contract and walking her through a particular contentious contract clause you adjusted, she sits back, exhales, and tells you to send over the contract so she can sign it. She is excited about the partnership and so are you. You end the meeting on a first-name basis. You leave the meeting and collect a well-deserved round of high-fives from your colleagues who have heard you get the deal over the line. This went great!

Write follow-up e-mails to prospective customers

Time to tackle your inbox! After prospective client meetings, you send up follow-up emails with the meeting notes, next steps, and personalized information on the topics you discussed with them.
