How to Sell Activities to Clients

When proposing activities in your quote:

1. Offer 2–3 options at different price points
2. Match to company culture - tech startup wants adventure, law firm wants elegance
3. Consider fitness levels - 45-year-old partners won't do rappelling
4. Include in per-head price - don't bill activities separately (simplifies decision)
5. Add photos - visuals sell activities better than descriptions

Pricing Your Activity Package

Typical per-head activity budget within a corporate offsite:

• Budget: ₹1,500–3,000 per person (1–2 activities)
• Standard: ₹3,000–6,000 per person (2–3 activities + entertainment)
• Premium: ₹6,000–12,000 per person (multiple activities + unique experiences)
