Interested in being a tour guide for us?
Are you nice, patient, enjoy coffee and/or tea? Have you attended at least 1 Caffeine Crawl before? Let's talk.
And yes, unlike most industry events, this is a paid gig. We believe in trade (sometimes worked in with sponsors interested in being a guide), but not free labor.
Here's a rundown of tour guide insight:
- Main function: Operate as a tour guide on a Caffeine Crawl route. Duty lasts 3:30-4:30 hours typically.
- Necessary skills: Staying on time for the most part, being a positive and cheery guide, being alert to make sure everyone seems content and if a shop needs help, assertive to lead - important to try and stay on time.
- Duties: Take 1 good pic along with a sentence or two of what the stop did at each stop needed (varies per Crawl and route). This info will go on social media as support for the business and an archive of the event. Give tips on parking at the next stop (typically in your notes or if you are real familiar of the shops). Get a head count of your route and keep an eye on your group.
- Compusure: Must be a Caffeine Crawl veteran. Stay positive, and calm. Don't show favoritism and keep viewpoints that are negative or confidential to yourself.
- Timing: Guides are expected to arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of the route. The longest routes are 4 hours long, but most are around 3 hours. Jason tries to start routes, and often does intros if he is present for that route.
Route pays $75 for 3.5-4 hour route, $70 for a 3 hour route, etc., plus some Crawl swag and extra free ticket. Most routes are 5-stop and 3 hours long. A friend can use the ticket, you can attend another day, or another Crawl.
All tour guides receive a sheet/PDF via email that we put together with tips and notes for their route from contact names to a talking script to go by if needed. This is very detailed oriented.
If you have a Twitter or Instagram account, can you please share it? It's important to us that Crawl tour guides represent themselves outside of this duty too. First and foremost, we are looking for nice people.
Also, are you interested in working on sponsorship on commission? We offer a percentage for a sponsorship you help bring to the table. We would do the main grunt work - paperwork, setting it up, etc., but offering this opportunity to our tour guides who know of a source/sources that might be an easy fit that we might miss not living there. As reference, the lowest level is $200 so 1 of those would yield an extra $$$ on top of tour guide pay.
Thanks and let me know if you have questions, interest, etc.
