In this episode of The High Profit Event Show, host Rudy Rodriguez dives deep into one of the biggest challenges event leaders face after hosting a powerful event—turning excitement and interest into actual enrollments. With years of experience leading sales teams and supporting over 100 successful virtual events, Rudy shares practical strategies to help event hosts stop leaving money and impact on the table.
Rudy begins by breaking down the powerful psychology behind The Law of Diminishing Intent (LODI). He explains that the longer you wait to follow up with an attendee who expressed interest during your event, the less likely they are to take action. Backed by data from Harvard Business Review, Rudy illustrates just how drastically conversions drop when response times lag—showing that waiting even one hour can reduce conversion likelihood by seven times, and waiting a full day can cause a 6,000% decrease. The takeaway is clear: speed, structure, and systems matter if you want to convert enthusiasm into enrollments.
Next, Rudy addresses The Hidden Cost of Post-Event Follow-Up Fatigue. He paints a vivid picture of the emotional and physical exhaustion that comes from running a high-energy, multi-day event. After weeks or months of preparation, delivery, and engagement, most event leaders are simply too drained to immediately chase follow-ups. Yet this downtime is precisely when their attendees’ motivation begins to fade. Rudy reframes this not only as a business problem but as a moral one—if you truly believe in your program’s ability to transform lives, you owe it to your participants to help them take the next step while their inspiration is still fresh.
Finally, Rudy presents a powerful solution: Leveraging a Virtual Sales Team to Double or Triple Enrollments. He shares how his proprietary, proven process allows event leaders to maintain their focus on teaching, coaching, and transforming lives—while trained professionals handle follow-ups with care and integrity. This approach eliminates the need for heavy-handed tactics, prevents post-event burnout, and ensures that every participant gets the personal attention they deserve. Through this model, Rudy’s clients have achieved measurable results, often doubling or even tripling enrollments without sacrificing authenticity or energy.
This episode is a must-listen for any event leader committed to increasing both profit and impact. Rudy’s insights bridge the gap between inspiration and implementation, helping leaders create systems that turn post-event momentum into long-term transformation.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
