A world-first for the events industry, Sales Assistant is a high-precision automated admin assistant &#8211; built to cut out the admin noise and help suppliers convert more bookings than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year, we announced some huge upgrades to Sales Assistant, meaning it\u2019s now even more powerful than it was when first launched &#8211; a genuine game-changer for the way event suppliers process quotes, communicate with prospective clients, and generate revenue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog, we\u2019ll give you a full run down of what Sales Assistant is designed to do, and how to use it to your full advantage. But before we dig in, here\u2019s a quick piece of good news. Whilst Sales Assistant is incredibly complex under the bonnet, it\u2019s insanely easy to use!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-how-sales-assistant-works\">How Sales Assistant Works<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5860\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.1929170549860204;width:693px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-3.png 940w, https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-3-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-3-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>To better understand what Sales Assistant does, it\u2019s helpful to see it for yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"gap: 20px;\" class=\"align-button-center ub-buttons orientation-button-row 1 wp-block-ub-button\" id=\"ub-button-bb849538-86aa-435f-a276-c7a026c9a658\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/s\/inbox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer  \" class=\"ub-button-block-main ub-button-medium   ub-button-flex-medium\" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #313131; --ub-button-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-border: none; --ub-button-hover-background-color: #313131; --ub-button-hover-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-hover-border: none; border-top-left-radius: 10px;; border-top-right-radius: 10px;; border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;; border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;; \">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\" style=\"flex-direction: row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">EXPLORE SALES ASSISTANT<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Open another tab in your browser, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/s\/\">log in to your Poptop supplier account<\/a>. From the drop down menu in the right hand corner, select \u201cSales Assistant\u201d. As you\u2019ll see, Sales Assistant looks fairly straightforward. However, the technology behind it is anything but.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, Sales Assistant is <strong>your single best guid<\/strong>e to <strong>better sales conversions<\/strong> and <strong>more booking<\/strong>s on Poptop. It automatically creates a series of quick, straightforward tasks that &#8211; when completed &#8211; are guaranteed to get you more bookings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s designed to be easily used every day &#8211; a tool to be introduced into your daily admin jobs. The more you use it, the more bookings you\u2019ll secure. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5857\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.1929170549860204;width:694px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-1.png 940w, https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-1-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-1-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that there\u2019s no guesswork involved here. We\u2019ve analysed literally hundreds of thousands of pieces of Poptop bookings data &#8211; diving into things like client behaviour, length of time from enquiry to booking, message interaction quality, and tonnes more &#8211; to create a highly calibrated and incredibly accurate snapshot of <em>exactly<\/em> where your Poptop performance is at, and <em>exactly<\/em> what you need to do to increase bookings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s really worth making this point again. There\u2019s no guesses or pointless tasks here. Sales Assistant is carefully and expertly built to do one thing; get you more bookings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, suppliers just have to log into Poptop on a regular basis (ideally once a day) and complete the tasks Sales Assistant assigns. Do this, and your bookings will increase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, let\u2019s look at each element of Sales Assistant in turn, find out what it tells us, and what you can do with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-your-bookings-summary\">Your Bookings Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Right at the top of Sales Assistant, you\u2019ll see a table with a handful of numbers in it. This is your Bookings Summary. Let\u2019s look at this in detail, and explain why it\u2019s incredibly useful to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-leads-in-progress-\"><em>LEADS IN PROGRESS<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5861\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.1929170549860204;width:529px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-4.png 940w, https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-4-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-4-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>These stats give you a snapshot of how many potential bookings you have in the pipeline, in the shape of shortlists and enquiries for your Poptop services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These stats are crucial, because it tells you exactly <em>how much money <\/em>and <em>how many bookings <\/em>you could actually generate <em>right now<\/em>.

Forgive us for repeating ourselves, but it bears repeating &#8211; these aren\u2019t just randomly assigned tasks. We <em>know <\/em>completing these tasks leads to more bookings for Poptop suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have no tasks to complete, that means one of two things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re up to date on your Sales Assistant tasks &#8211; well done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, you don\u2019t have any active enquiries or shortlists. This could be for a number of reasons &#8211; if you\u2019d like to know more, contact our support team for help in optimising your Poptop profile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, let\u2019s assume you have some pending tasks, take you through what they are and how to complete them. Your tasks are broken down into a few categories\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New enquiries awaiting a welcome message<\/strong><br>Our data analysis categorically shows that suppliers that message new enquiries within a few hours of receipt convert about 50% more bookings. This is a small job but a BIG potential win. Send a quick message to say hi, and offer any assistance, by hitting \u2018act now\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New messages<\/strong><br>These are messages from clients that require more information before progressing the booking. It might be add-ons, timing questions, or clarifying elements of your listings. These are very promising leads, so be sure to quickly and efficiently answer these to progress bookings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call Requests Awaiting Completion<\/strong><br>Another very promising collection of tasks, this is a list of clients who have requested to book a call with you through the Poptop call system. Get these booked ASAP to maintain momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clients who need a followup message<\/strong><br>These tasks cover clients that were very interested in booking you, but have been quiet for the last seven days. A quick message genuinely can be enough to reignite the booking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Awaiting deposit payments<\/strong><br>A list of clients who have confirmed your booking, but haven\u2019t yet secured it with a deposit payment. Again, a quick reminder is often all it takes, but neglecting to do this can equally lead to lost bookings. Definitely worth your time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All pretty straightforward, isn\u2019t it? But trust us, regularly completing these simple tasks leads to <strong>more bookings<\/strong>. Remember that stat from earlier &#8211; suppliers that regularly use Sales Assistant get 80% more bookings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-your-performance-insights-\"><strong>Your Performance Insights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5864\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.1929170549860204;width:599px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-7.png 940w, https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-7-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog-suppliers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bbq-Weekend-Party-Facebook-Post-7-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The final set of stats you see might look a bit scary, but they can be incredibly useful to you. They represent the key actions that caused you to miss out on bookings over a 180 day period.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple rule of thumb &#8211; you want all these numbers to be as low as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Number of quotes removed by supplier<\/strong> &#8211; The number of quotes you voluntarily turned down, in both booking number and revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Removed quotes from incoming enquiries &#8211;<\/strong> The number of quotes a client has removed, often due to inaction on the part of the supplier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bookings Cancelled <\/strong>&#8211; The number of confirmed bookings you cancelled (another key stat on Poptop). You want this to be as low as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Number of conversations ignored<\/strong> &#8211; The amount of interested clients who had questions for you, but never got a response. Look at all that lost revenue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Number of call requests ignored <\/strong>&#8211; As above, try to hold back the tears as you contemplate all that lost revenue\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Number of conversations with the wrong quote<\/strong> &#8211; Unsurprisingly, the amount of enquiries where the initial quote was incorrect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sales Assistant makes it simple to keep these stats low. Just complete the tasks it assigns!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-in-conclusion%E2%80%A6-\"><strong>In Conclusion\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for taking the time to read this piece in full &#8211; we hope you can see the power and potential of Sales Assistant. If in doubt, just log in regularly and tick off the jobs.
