Deal Management

Negotiate smarter. Model every scenario. Never lose track of a deal.

Pipeline view loads in under 2 seconds with all active negotiations, values, and statuses. P&L models recalculate in under 3 seconds when any input changes. You see the money before you sign the deal.

Headliner CRM and pipeline
Manage relationships with CAA, WME, UTA, Paradigm, and every agency and manager in between. Track deal flow from first inquiry to confirmation with full contact history, deal values, and next steps. Never drop the ball on a six-figure negotiation.
Deal structure modeling
Flat guarantees, percentage-of-door, hybrid deals, ticket revenue shares, bottle bonuses, multi-night residency terms — model every structure and see projected profitability before you commit. Change any input and the P&L recalculates in under 3 seconds.
Ticket pricing strategy tools
Model price points, tier structures, and VIP packages based on headliner draw and historical comparable data. Past bookings of similar artists surface in under 2 seconds for pricing decisions. Data-backed pricing, not vibes.
Residency management
Multi-date agreements with upcoming dates, cumulative performance, attendance trends, and contract option tracking. Residencies are complex long-term commitments — the system tracks every date, every number, every option window.
Performance analytics
Sell-through rates, revenue per head, bar revenue lift, social impact, and guest satisfaction — all tied to specific headliner bookings. Build a data-driven case for rebooking or passing next time the agent calls.
Historical comparables
Instant lookup of past bookings by genre, tier, guarantee range, and venue capacity. Know what similar artists generated before you negotiate. Your offer is informed by your own data, not the agent's pitch.
Execution

From signed deal to sold-out night — every detail coordinated.

Rider fulfillment visible to all stakeholders in real time. Co-marketing plans coordinated with artist management. Production elements sourced through vendor integration. Day-of-show timelines tracked to the minute.

Rider management
Technical riders (sound, lighting, stage, production), hospitality riders (green room, catering, hotel, transport), and promotional requirements — detailed checklists tracked in real time. Status visible to talent buyer, ops, and production simultaneously.
Co-marketing planning
Collaborative workspace for venue and artist management to coordinate announcement timing, creative assets, social cross-promotion, and press exclusives. The campaign launches perfectly because everyone is working from the same plan.
Production coordination
Source and schedule CO2 cannons, confetti, LED walls, pyrotechnics, and custom builds through vendor management integration. Rider requirements become purchase orders with one click. Production specs don't live in email threads.
Day-of-show management
Detailed timelines for load-in, sound check, meet-and-greet, set times, and breakdown — with real-time status updates. Everyone from the production manager to the GM sees where the night stands at any moment.
Settlement engine
Calculate final payments based on actual door counts, ticket revenue, VIP spend, and contractual triggers. Auto-generated settlement statements within 1 hour of event conclusion with all revenue data reconciled. Fast, accurate, audit-ready.
Full P&L reporting
Talent cost, production expenses, incremental revenue, bar lift, VIP spend, and settlement — all in one view. See the true ROI of every headliner booking, not just what you paid versus what you charged at the door.
