What are some alternative strategies to manage and compare various services during event planning?

Some alternative strategies to manage and compare various services during event planning include creating a detailed list of all the services needed for the event, along with their respective companies and contact details. You can categorize these services, note their current negotiation stage, priority, and total cost. This will facilitate comparison. If you're undecided about a service, you can keep its contract status as 'Open'. Once you decide to proceed with it, change the status to 'Closed'. After the payment is made, mark it as paid. This systematic approach will help you manage and compare various services effectively.

Question was asked on:

For example, the organization of a wedding that needs a nice venue. To record that, enter "Venue" in the 'Service' field along with the Company of interest and its contact details. Next, choose the category, current negotiation stage, service priority, and total cost. Subsequent fields facilitate the comparison of various services. If you're undecided about whether to hire a particular service, change the 'Contract status' to 'Open'. Now, if you've chosen to proceed with the service, change the 'Contract status' to 'Closed'. After the payment is made, use the 'Payment status' field to mark it as paid.
