Frequently asked questions

The platform, dinners we run for you, pricing, your data and the room.

Two ways to work with us

What is Quartermaster?

Quartermaster fills an executive dinner with the accounts your team is already working. Run it yourself on the platform, or hand it to us and we run the dinner under your name. Both use the same platform. The only difference is who does the work, and whether our warm network fills the seats.

Should we use the platform or have you run the dinner?

Use the platform if someone on your team can host and you want to run dinners regularly: it finds the guests, drafts the invites and writes everything back to your CRM. Have us run it if you need this quarter's dinner done without adding work, or you want seats filled from our network of about 1,500 senior leaders. Not sure? Book an intro call and we'll tell you straight.

The platform

What does the platform do?

Four steps, and a person signs off on each one. Choose who to invite from your target accounts, connected data sources or a CRM list, each with a fit score. Invite from your own inbox: every approved guest gets a personal invite drafted in your Gmail, and RSVPs come in from Luma. Know who's at the table with a briefing on every guest and a seating plan that puts reps beside their accounts. Follow up the next morning with drafts that quote what each guest said, written back to your CRM.

How much does the platform cost?

$249 a month per workspace, which includes the first user, plus $99 a month for each additional user.

How do we get access?

The platform is in early access. Join the waitlist and we'll set up your workspace and connect your tools with you, on a call. Self-serve sign-up comes later, and your work carries over.

Which tools does it work with?

Apollo, ZoomInfo, Sales Navigator, Clay and Crunchbase to find guests; Gmail for invites; Luma for RSVPs; Slack for alerts; Attio, HubSpot or Salesforce as your CRM; and Granola, Zoom or Gong to import the debrief. Outlook and Eventbrite are coming.

Does it email guests for us?

No. Quartermaster only writes drafts in your own inbox. Someone on your team reads each one and presses Send. AI suggests guests and explains why, and a person approves every one.

Who owns the guest list?

You do. Guests, dinners and follow-ups live in your workspace and your CRM, and you can export them whenever you like. Every dinner adds to a guest list you keep, and we don't sell your data, ever.

Dinners we run for you

What do you handle when you run the dinner?

Everything, under your name. We fill every seat from your ICP using our warm network, handle invites and confirmations, book the venue, put a briefing at every seat with reps placed beside their accounts, run the evening, and leave notes and follow-up drafts in your CRM the next morning. Your team shows up and leads the conversations.

How much does it cost?

Dinners start at $17,500. After an intro call we quote one fixed fee, up front, before you commit to anything.

How long does it take?

5 to 6 weeks to deliver, end to end.

What cities do you run dinners in?

All major US and Canadian cities, picked around where your buyers live. Tell us your top two or three target metros and we'll recommend the venue and the week.

Where do the guests come from?

Your target accounts and ICP, filled from our network of about 1,500 senior leaders, built over 10+ years and 200+ executive events. We screen every guest and keep competitors out of the room.

How do we get started?

Book an intro call. It's 30 minutes on the outcome you want and the guests you need, and we'll tell you whether we're the right fit.

Pipeline and ROI

Should we run an executive dinner or sponsor a conference?

Run the cost per meeting. A flagship conference sponsorship lands at roughly $10,000 per qualified meeting once you add travel, booth and staff time. A dinner lands at $500 to $1,000 per qualified meeting. Conferences rent you attention. Dinners manufacture it, with people who chose to be in the room.

How do we measure ROI on an executive dinner?

Count qualified meetings, then divide by total cost, including your team's time. Then track how many meetings become opportunities within 90 days. The ROI calculator shows what one dinner really costs you in-house.

Should we run dinners in-house or hire it out?

In-house means a hire, a ramp and a year of salary, and about 19 weeks before the first guest sits down. We deliver in 5 to 6 weeks, or your team can run dinners on the platform without a new hire. Run your own numbers.

The room

How do you get executives to actually show up?

After more than a decade of running executive events, we've learned that who's at the table, and how the conversation unfolds, decides whether people come back. Three rules guide every dinner:

  • Keep the table senior. Executives make time to meet their peers. If the guest list doesn't match that expectation, you lose their trust and their next RSVP.
  • Screen every guest. Put competitors at the same table and the conversation stays guarded. A vetted guest list gives people room to speak openly.
  • Let it be a dinner. Guests came for a conversation, not a sales presentation. Give them a reason to contribute, and they'll have a reason to return.
What makes an executive dinner work?

Senior leaders detect a pitch in thirty seconds. Our dinners have no stage, no sponsor slides and no demos. Conversation stays peer to peer, and your team joins as peers, not presenters. Trust gets built before anyone mentions a product.

Still deciding? Join early access to run dinners yourself, or book an intro call and we'll talk it through.
