EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This internship report stresses on the work experience I gathered as an intern in the Marketing,
Membership and Events departments of 67 Pall Mall Singapore Ltd from February 3, 2022 until June
15, 2022. In this report, I have predominantly incorporated my experience at 67 Pall Mall, especially
my duties and responsibilities as Marketing & Events Coordinator.

While in my internship at 67 Pall Mall Singapore, I integrated both marketing and events department
while also participating in other projects outside those departments. In the marketing department, I was
in charge of office support, including word processing, creating visual supports, cards and other
communication materials. In the events department, I assisted planning and managing events and created
the necessary content for their operation.

Over the course of my internship, I acquired an overview of the company and its strategies. In a steady
growth and business expansion, 67 Pall Mall’s aims and objectives remain unchanged – to provide its
members with the highest standards in terms of wine-based experience.

I realized a short internal and external environment analysis to showcase the performance of 67 Pall
Mall Singapore against its local competitors. This report features also detailed insight about my work
experience along with a job description. Later, I discuss the skills I acquired and the one that I still need
to develop to thrive on my career path.

INTRODUCTION

6
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
The private club sector consists of organizations formed because of common interests among the
members. Private members’ clubs are largely acquainted with the food and beverage (F&B) scene,
which is constantly evolving and plays an important role in member satisfaction and retention, making
it a key area to assure the success of a club.

While each private club has a specific focus (sports, recreation, etc…) and an F&B scene (bar, restaurant,
or both), 67 Pall Mall sole focus in on wine and the services associated with it. This “less is more”
strategy allows the club to focus on wine and to set highest the standards of the industry in term of wine
appreciation. The strength and weakness of the club is to have a single purpose while other clubs are
multi-purpose.

Incidentally, 67PM has less KPIs to focus on than its competitors. One of the biggest challenges and
objective of the club is to retain its members while keeping its original raison d’être. Member retention
is imperative as the cost of enlisting a new customer is greater than of retaining an existing one.

As the club grows and develop, so are its competitors. Thus, there is a real challenge in maintaining the
appeal of the club without diluting its original proposition.

How can a company retain their members without diluting its core proposition?

The objectives of this paper are to assert the practical knowledge acquired during this internship in terms
of marketing, events planning and customer retention; to reflect what kind of skills I gained during this
experience and which skills need to be further developed; and finally, to provide a useful insight for the
club regarding the problematic of this paper.

CONTEXT OF THE MISSION

8
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
67 Pall Mall is the latest club to open in the city-state, in the heart of its shopping district and is set to
become the new Asian outpost of the renowned British wine club. Below, are an internal and external
analysis of the company.

1. Presentation of the company

1.1. Overall presentation

67 Pall Mall is a members-only wine club founded by Grant Ashton in 2015. The original concept behind
67 Pall Mall is to entice members to ‘pull the cork and discover a new wine’ for an affordable price. As
a members-only club, members need to pay a monthly subscription in order to get access to the club.
The club mission is to provide the best wine-related experience to its members.

“The idea for 67 Pall Mall was born of passion and brought into existence by wine lovers, for wine
lovers” (Grant Ashton, 2015).

In June 2021, during the midst of the pandemic, the club launches 67 Pall Mall TV, an online TV channel
featuring live virtual wine tastings, wine documentaries and food and wine pairings.

The opening of the Verbier Club (Switzerland) in December 2021 marks the first outpost of 67 Pall
Mall’s international expansion programme. Two months later, on February 14, 2022, 67 Pall Mall
opened its first Asian outpost in Singapore.

The club is located in the heart of Singapore’s shopping district; a strategic location since the club is
surrounded by luxury retailers, high-end hotels and social clubs.

The Singapore club facilities include a main club room that houses a restaurant and a bar, and private
dining rooms (PDR). The main club room bestows a panoramic view of the cityscape as well as a 6-
meters wine tower, the main club attraction. The wine tower stores about 2,500 wines from all over the
world; 1,000 of which are available by the glass. The private dining rooms use modular walls panels
that can be moved in many configurations to suit the members dining experience. On level 28 are to be
found a 35-seats whisky bar with a balcony, and the Naughty Corner, soon to be licensed as a cigar
room.

Members can join the club under seven categories of membership: Singapore Resident, Asia, under 35,
under 30, wine professional, overseas and founding life membership. As of May 2022, the Singapore
club has about 2,400 active members, with a waitlist based on the date of application. It takes about one
month to get its application reviewed.

• Extensive fine wine list constantly renewed
• Sommelier team wine recommendations
• Recommendations regarding wine tourism

Table1: 67 Pall Mall Singapore services

67 Pall Mall has a unique concept and a vision focused on wine appreciation in a casual and relaxed
setting. The following club services are thus all wine related.

The first service and main perk of being a member is to have access to the club facilities for a glass or
a meal. As 67 Pall Mall is a private members’ club, only members are authorized to make a reservation.
Members can access the club premises with a reservation for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner as well as
impromptu walk-ins.

Members are allowed to invite up to 5 guests per reservation (up to 5 times a tear per guest).

The club also provide the most extensive wine list of South-East Asia, with 5,000 wines from 42
countries available, 1,000 of which are served by-the-glass. In addition to the wine list, the club

12
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
possesses a team of 16 well-trained sommeliers in charge of pouring the wine and providing the best
advice and food and wine pairings to the members. Furthermore, the wine list is curated by Richard
Hemming MW (Master of Wine) to be diverse and qualitative.

Wine storage and corkage are provided to the club members. Thus, members are allowed to store their
wine onsite (at the club) for a wine storage fee of S$15 per crate and open their bottle in the club premises
for S$50 per bottle. Moreover, members can ask for their bottle to be decanted ahead of their arrival.

A number of events are proposed to the members every week. The club Events department offers the
possibility to members to attend several events wine tastings, masterclasses, lunches and personalized

Sommelier courses, Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) degree levels 2 and 3 sessions. The club
also possesses a was a high quality 4k TV channel with 6 hours of new content produced every day, 67
Pall Mall TV.

1.4. The target

As the club states, “By wine lovers, For wine lovers”, 67 Pall Mall targets wine lovers. The target
audience includes members interesting in conducting business at the club (networking), members
wanting to see and to be seen at the club (conspicuous consumption) and wine afficionados. The
aspirational target of the brand is interesting & interested people who believe that wine is an essential
part of a well–lived life. Their love of wine is sensual and social and inspires others. They are the
opposite to elitist.

2. Internal Environment Analysis

2.1. Strengths and weaknesses

The following internal environment analysis of the company focuses on the strengths and weaknesses
of the club.

Strengths Weaknesses

• Strong core proposition and unique • Not family/kid friendly


concept
• Enlarged memberships indiscriminately
• Strong international base for the club opening might affect its
image as an exclusive club
• Already existent business structure
• Sole focus on the F&B experience; the

club targets a very specific segment
which are shareholders)
(wine afficionados)
• Strong financial base due to
• Current perception is that wine clubs are
shareholders and memberships
for the well-heeled, or connoisseurs only
• High sales volumes: S$ 1,360,198.90 of
• High staff turnover and difficulty to

• Leasehold land with limited tenure (15
• Extensive wine list and seasonal menu years lease)
• Coravin Preservation Technology • Fragmented ecosystem of softwares
(enables the club to propose 1,000 wines
by-the-glass)
• Premium equipment, glassware and
facilities
• Possibility to expand the club
Table 1: Summarized analysis of 67 Pall Mall Singapore strengths and weaknesses1

67 Pall Mall provides its members with a strong value proposition on wine. The club sole focus on wine
can be considered as a strength because it is the only club focusing on wine, but it can also be considered
as a weakness as some potential customers might be interested in doing a wider range of activities.

As of May 2022, the club has 2,400 members, 10% of which are shareholders. Therefore, the club is far
from having a shortage of members. Consequently, the club revenues are very high, and it can overcome
financial obstacles to develop and grow even further as a business.

See appendix 1.

14
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
Conversely, 67PM struggles to recruit and to keep its Front of House staff. For this reason, the quality
in service might be lowered, especially at peak hours. In this situation, the FOH staff might be strained
and momentarily struggle dealing with the flow of members. For example, the sommelier team will have
more members to serve then less time to spend with each member, thus reducing their added value to
that of regular waiters.

Besides, the in-development reservation system does not always work efficiently, sometimes resulting
in very long waitlists in order to book a table. Thus, one of the first reasons for membership cancellations
is the difficulty to make a reservation at the club. Therefore, members retention would be higher if
members had the opportunity to make more reservations and come at the club more often.

2.2. Conclusion of the internal environment analysis

Pall Mall Singapore does deliver on its core proposition which is to be the “ultimate destination in Asia
for wine-lovers”. It must keep it in sight while constantly renewing the range of its wine-related events,
equipment, list, etc.

The club transitioned from the Grand Opening to regular activities. During that transition, the club faced
some challenges: staff shortage and improvement of the operating systems.

3. External Environment Analysis


3.1. Opportunities and Threats

67 Pall Mall Singapore opened during the third phase of Singapore re-opening, after the loosening of
the COVID-19 restrictions, on 14 February 2022. The end of the pandemic provided the club with a
range of opportunities and threats, as mentioned in the table below.

Opportunities Threats

• Club enthusiasm in Singapore • All other private clubs have an F&B


value proposition while 67 Pall Mall
• Growing number of wealthy people in sole focus is on F&B
Asia & Singapore
• The industry exists in a competitive
• Loosening of the COVID-19 restrictions space in Singapore, with many private
since April 26, 2022. The COVID-19 clubs and liquor subscription models
crisis facilitated teasing the opening of gaining traction
the club.
• Shortage of well-trained and/or
• Not many other wine clubs with the experienced hospitality staff in
same concept in Singapore Singapore

15
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
• Development of the private members
clubs’ sector
• The club’s owned platform will be a
valuable asset in seeding public interest
and developing new angles for the
media
• Younger audiences in Singapore are
increasingly interested in unique and
exclusive F&B experiences, which are
abundant in 67 Pall Mall Singapore
• There are many wine afficionados in
Singapore who can be tapped on for
content
• Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix 2022

Table 2: 67 Pall Mall Singapore opportunities and threats

Conclusion: 67PM needs to ensure staff loyalty to retain its FOH employees. Besides, the club must
constantly renew its services around its core proposition while partner with futures popular events in
Singapore (always with a wine focus).

3.2. Summary of the competitor analysis

Lately, Singapore has witnessed the emergence of more and more private members’ clubs. The
competitor analysis2 provides a wider picture of Singapore private members clubs landscape (image &
positioning, objectives, size & profitability, strengths & weaknesses).

The already established competitors are developed with the consideration of their own targeted markets.
The shortage of well-trained and/or experienced hospitality staff in Singapore remains a major threat for
the private members sectors as private clubs need to compete for staff.

3.3. Conclusion of the external environment analysis

Singapore’s long history of clubbing, its wealthy population and its regulations makes it the ideal
environment for members-only clubs to flourish in. The private members club (PMC) sector is very
diversified, with a wide range of clubs, from country club to wine club.

19
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
2. Business Tools

2.1. Airtable

Airtable is a data organizing and team collaboration software that helps organize information and
manage operations. It is a versatile tool that can be used for almost any type of workflow. 67 Pall Mall
used Airtable as a CRM and served as a database extension for customer information.

I used Airtable throughout my internship to find which cards were already printed and issued, the contact
information of members to mail them their membership cards, to make outstanding invoices collection
calls, etc…

As Airtable is a database spreadsheet, similar to Excel, I had no problem becoming familiar with it.

2.2. Facebook Business Suite

Facebook Business Suite is an app designed for businesses to manage their page. It combines access to
the business’ key updates and priorities.

During the course of my internship, I used Facebook Business Suite to draft and schedule posts for both
Facebook and Instagram and view insights.

2.3. Microsoft 365 Suite

Word is used for word processing and document creation: menus, cards, some tasting mats, etc… I also
used Word for its mail merge add-on that let met create batch of cards personalized for each member.

PowerPoint is a presentation program that is used as a template for membership cards printing, but also
for slideshows during meeting or for staffroom information.

Excel is a spreadsheet used for stocks managing, cross-checking information and creating lists of cards
to print.

SharePoint is a document management and storage system where are saved all soft copies of the
company documents.

Microsoft Teams is a communication platform used to make calls and receive calls to specific
departments (Events and Membership). I also used it for internal communication with the London team.

Outlook Application is an email client used for mailing, calendaring, task managing and as a database
for the club staff information.

20
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
2.4. Photoshop

Photoshop is the graphics editor I used Adobe Photoshop 2021 to enhance the image quality and
retouch some graphic materials for marketing use.

2.5. SevenRooms

SevenRooms is a CRM that is used to connect data across the guest journey. It encompasses the
member experience at 67 Pall Mall:

1. Reservation: Members were able to make a reservation at our clubroom using SevenRooms
2. Checking-in: Members check-in at the reception on level 27
3. Seating: the floor plan, updated in real time, allowed the hosts and hostesses to quickly find a
table for members

It was possible to manage the arrangement of tables in advance, i.e. before the service. SevenRooms
also provides the club with crucial information such as dietary requirements, birthday and member
status.

2.6. WordPress

WordPress is an open-source content management system (CMS) with a plugin architecture and a
template system that is used to create and customize 67 Pall Mall website.

3. Activities Performed in the Organization

3.1. Managing enquiries and inboxes (primary responsibility)3

Objective: responding quickly and efficiently to each enquiry the Marketing and Events department
receive in order to offer excellent customer service to the members and help planning events.

Tools: I used the Outlook application with my professional mail robin@67pallmall.com to answer the
flow of member enquiries.

Operating Procedure:

1. Checking on the website or SharePoint the information provided to the member


2. Answering the enquiry and CC the departments involved
3. Archiving the mail in the correct folder

3
Mail exchange example – See appendix 3.

21
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
Commentary: due to the fact that I was new to the club, it took me some time to get used and cope up
with the working environment. The main challenge I faced was to set the right tone of voice in the e-
mail (friendly and professional) while making sure my answer was adequate. As a result, this task was
quite time-consuming. I keep all the standard phrases and vocabulary learned to write proper formal
emails. I am working on that weakness to become proficient in Business English.

3.2. Graphic Design (primary responsibility)4

Objective: create verified content5 (menus, cards, signs, table names) respecting the brand guidelines
to provide with the Operations Department

One of my main missions as an intern was to assist creating and printing content, mainly operational
menus that were provided to the members during their visit, on a daily basis. I created a draft of the SOP
(which typography was later streamlined) to follow in order to create content.

Tools: to create content I was able to rely on the Brand Guidelines, Word, Photoshop (occasionally) and
previously created content available on the company SharePoint.

• 67 Pall Mall possesses Brand Guidelines that clearly define the rules and standards of
communication (logotype, colour, typography, tone of voice, etc…).
• Most of the menus, tasting mats, masterclass handouts and sign were created on Word following
the brand guidelines.
• Photoshop was used to enhance pictures and graphic materials.

Marketing SOP – See appendix 4.

Templates – See appendix 5.

22
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
Operating Procedure for Operational Menus:

Operational Menu breakdown

1. Creating the menu following the Brand Guidelines, in conjunction with the Kitchen Team

Establish the menu in collaboration with the Head Chef in the right sequence, with a precise description
of the recipe. It is important to remind the Kitchen of the dietary requirements so the club can propose
special options to the members.

2. Checking the content with the departments involved

Cross-checking the spelling with the online A La Carte Menu. Then, checking with the Head Chef the
dishes and their serving sequence; checking with the sommelier team the wines; checking with the Head
of Marketing the layout before printing.

3. Printing the menu on 210mg mat paper


4. Distributing the menu to the Operations Department or at the service stations
5. Making sure the operation and kitchen team are aware of the dietary requirements.

23
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
Commentary: Being proficient in word processing, I did not have any trouble familiarise myself with
the creation of content. The brand guidelines and available templates facilitated the task. I realised while
carrying this task that it was crucial to communicate effectively to all relevant departments. Without an
efficient internal communication, it may cause confusion and disrupt club activity. Depending on the
colleagues involved, the information (dietary requirements, birthdays, location of the printed material,
etc.) was transmitted orally, by e-mail, or in the WhatsApp group.

3.3. Setting-up the club event page (primary responsibility)

Objective: the objective is to mirror the London Club event page with an event page of our own, with
its own ticketing system

Tools: Wordpress was used to modify the website page.

Operating Procedure:

1. Based on the brand guideline (voice tone) and on the information available for each event,
redacting a short description of each
2. Checking with the HOD and publishing on the website6. Originally, I had to contact the London
team to let them modify the page. Then, the Singapore office team took over the Singapore page.

Commentary: Easy and straightforward, the task was to summarise information from the press release.
I faced no problem synthesising the information.

3.4. Social Media Communication (secondary responsibility)

Objective: develop the club e-reputation and reach & engage with its target audience.

Tools: Facebook Business Suite

Operating Procedure:

1. Choosing a theme based on the information the HOD wants to the members to be aware of
2. Creating content updating the members on the club latest activities (information about the club,
membership, events, etc…) while respecting the tone of voice as defined by the brand
guidelines.

The tone of voice is the brand personality. It should reflect the brand essence (“By wine lovers, for wine
lovers”) and brand values (passion, authenticity and culture). Therefore, the tone should be
bewelcoming, convivial, curious, engaged and dynamic; not too serious but with an attitude of mind,

that communicates both the authority of the club’s established reputation and the challenging freshness
of its ideas).

3. Checking with the Head of Marketing.


4. Using Facebook Business Suite to program both Facebook and Instagram Posts, with useful
hashtags if necessary.

Commentary: As with the mailboxes, I found it difficult to adopt the right voice tone to redact the
posts. I was able to have as an example the social media post of the other clubs in Verbier and London.

3.5. Streamlining the brand identity typeface (secondary responsibility)

Objective: to create a simple and efficient template, respecting the brand identity.

Tools: Word.

Operating Procedure:

1. I created three different templates using different fonts, size, spacing according to the previously
formatted menu and respecting the brand identity
2. The marketing team choose to use the third template, more legible and convenient to use,
notably if it needs to be sent to a colleague that does not possess the required fonts.
3. Following-up with an email to the marketing and event teams, presenting the new template.

3.6. Event Planning (primary responsibility)7

Objective: to design and execute high end wine events that fulfil the members’ and attendees’ wishes.

Tools: Outlook, Word.

Example: Swiss Ambassador Business Lunch

1. Discussing with the Swiss Ambassador Personal Assistant any special arrangement that is
needed to set a business lunch
2. Discussing with the Head Chef on the menu and dietary restrictions
3. Starting a new email addressed to the Ambassador PA CC’ed to the Head of Events, the Events
Mailbox, and the Club Managers.
4. Once confirmed, printing the menu and getting the Head Chef to sign it. Sticking the menu and
the event details on the kitchen wall. Informing the Head Chef and Operations about it.
5. Fill out and distribute the event order to the Kitchen and Operations.

Event Order – See appendix 7.

6. Checking with a Club Manager if there is an available PDR for the lunch.

Commentary: the organization of a business meal requires a substantial amount of communication and
preparation beforehand. Collaboration between departments is key to a successful event. Operation
Teams, Kitchen, Events and Marketing were involved.

Other events such as the headliners events had a more complex organization and required more planning.

Event planning involves multiples skills. It requires an attention to detail (especially in a private club
setting the standards for its sector), the ability to multi-task, time management and problem-solving
skills.

I believe my ability to multi-task, my organizational skills improved during the course of this internship.
I have been able to interact with all the departments and it gave me a better overview of the club and its
functioning.

3.7. Event Planning & Management (primary responsibility)8

Objective: to design and execute in cooperation with the Operations team high end wine events that
fulfil the members’ and attendees’ wishes.

Tools: Word, Wordpress, Powerpoint, Excel

Example: Jasper Morris headliner events (3 Masterclasses and 1 Lunch)

Ahead of the events:

1. Summarizing the information for the website using the press release information and photos of
Jasper Morris and reporting to the Head of Marketing before sending to the London club to
update the information on the website. (Reporting to the Marketing Department.)
2. Checking the newsletter before it is sent to the members (Reporting to the Marketing
Department.)
3. Answering members inquiries after the events get released in stages through the weekly
newsletter (Reporting to the Events Department.)
4. Prepare the necessary stationary ahead of the event:
a. Membership cards: cross-checking the list of attendants on Excel with the function
VLOOKUP to find out which cards are already printed, and which cards are not yet.
Then find the location of the already printed cards that have not been issued yet. Print
the cards of the attendants that are not printed yet and prepare stacks of cards to
distribute on the members table ahead of the event.

b. Tasting mats: based on the London club tasting mat temple, creating tasting mats with
the wine names. Checking their spelling with the Head Sommelier, Roberto Duran and
then with the Head of Events, Valerie Sim, before printing.
c. Masterclass Handouts: create a handout using the information posted on the website,
including the wine list. Checking the wine spelling with the Head Sommelier, Roberto
Duran and then with the Head of Events, Valerie Sim, before printing.
d. Lunch Menu: checking the menu with the Head Chef and making sure there are
alternatives for members with special dietary requirements. Checking the spelling on
the A La Carte Menu on the website. Then checking the sequence of the pairing and the
wine spelling with the Sommelier Team or Richard Hemming MW. Checking with the
Head of Events before printing. Once confirmed, printing the menu and getting the
Head Chef to sign it. Sticking the menu and the event details on the kitchen wall.

Marketing before printing, then placing them on queue poles on the day of the event.
f. Wristbands: selecting one colour (claret, navy, silver or bronze) for each event then
informing the reception team. Keeping an eye on the inventory and ensure the reception
has enough wristbands.
Then, all the documents are to be archived on the company SharePoint.
5. Assisting with the pre-event briefing.

On the day of the events:

1. Helping to set up the event space (5 PDRs configured in one room “Orchard Grand”), respecting
the social distancing rules; and distributing the stationery to the Operations Team. Making sure
the Operations and Kitchen teams are informed of the specific dietary requirements.
2. Greeting the guests, showing them to the event space and tracking attendance with a guest list.
Giving wristbands to the guest that haven’t received one yet.
3. Once the event start, being ready to meet the members or the speaker demands.
4. During the lunch, calling the speaker when they are due to speak and provide them with a
microphone. Working in conjunction with the Operations team to ensure the event runs
smoothly.
5. At the end of the event, help members navigate through the club (either leaving or going to the
main clubroom).

Act as a liaison between the between the client and the Operations Department throughout the event.

Commentary: the planning and management of the headliner events gave me an overview of how
events are run at the club. Strong interpersonal skills are important to ensure all parties involved in the
events understands their role correctly and things run without a glitch. Event managing requires the
ability to keep calm under pressure, problem-solving skills and most of all focus.

27
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
In order to print the membership cards in time for the event, I had to learn how to cross-check data on
Excel and use a mail merge to create a printable list.

Objective: welcoming and seating guests in a friendly and professional manner.

Tools: SEVENROOMS, the CRM software is used to find available seats.

Operating Procedure:

1. Welcoming the guests and seating them to their table once it is prepared using SevenRooms on
a tablet. (Reporting to the Senior Hostess.)
2. Updating the floor plan on SEVENROOMs with the occupied and free seats, arranging the
seating capacities. Giving priority to members with reservations rather than walk-in guests.

Commentary: I got used to work in a fast-paced environment and master the use of SevenRooms.
Throughout the seating process, being able to handle difficult situations calmy and professionally was
necessary. It helped me develop my organizational and communication skills.

3.9. Membership cards printing and delivering (primary responsibility)9

Objective: prioritising the membership cards printing process to ensure a maximum number of members
can receive its membership card soon after joining the club.

Tools: Airtable, Excel, mail merge, Powerpoint

Operating Procedure:

1. Using Airtable to check whether the membership cards are created / issued
2. Find the necessary information by cross-checking tables on Excel: members status (blue card
for regular members and red card for life and honorary members), members preferred name to
print, members ID
3. Filling in the Powerpoint template with the member ID and the member’s name. Making sure
the formatting is correct.
4. Printing the card using the “Magicard pronto (V2” printer.
5. Updating Airtable with the cards created and/or issued
6. Keeping track of the lost cards, duplicates, and errors.

9
SOP – See appendix 9.

28
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
Throughout the cards printing process, I drafted a Standard Operating Procedure (describing the printer
settings, the powerpoint settings, how to find existing cards that have not been issued yet and how to
import the list to print on Word (using Mail Merge) and then Powerpoint) and briefed it down to the
FOH team. It was eventually changed to simply print the cards on the spot rather than printing them in
advance and risking losing valuable items.

Commentary: Collecting data on Excel and formatting it on Word and Powerpoint broadened my
knowledge of the Office Suite. I used my problem-solving skills to find out what SOP worked best.

3.10. Outstanding invoices collection (secondary responsibility)

Objective: collecting outstanding invoices, check on the members to understand why they did not pay
their membership fee and providing them with the assurance that the club will do everything possible to
meet their expectations.

Tools: Airtable

Operating Procedure:

1. Using the list of outstanding invoices, finding the members phone number, and calling them to
enquire about their outstanding balance. Providing information on the GIRO form if it has not
been submitted.
2. Updating Airtable after the call to provide information on the call (whether it was unanswered,
or the member has already paid or is about to pay).
3. Reporting to the Membership and Finance departments.

Commentary: Telephoning to the members provided me with meaningful insight into the resignation
patterns of the members. One of the main reasons was the difficulty to make a booking. I was able to
convince members to stay at the club and enticed them to do walk-in if they are not able to book a table
on SevenRooms. This task was a surprisingly positive experience, and it reinforced my communication
skills and business English.

CONCLUSION

SUMMARY, SKILLS ASSESSMENT AND CAREER


OBJECTIVES

30
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
1. Summary

67 Pall Mall Singapore possesses a strong value proposition on wine. It is simple and straightforward,
proposing the “ultimate” wine experience to the members. The brand essence ‘by wine lovers, for wine
lovers’ is reflected in everything the club does: the employees’ behaviour and attitude, the way they
communicate and the environment. Branding starts from inside out, and at 67PM, the staff is trained to
understand and reflect the message of the brand. Additionally, the club is luxurious, elegant, and warm
and provides a place where members can feel at home share their passion of wine.

Concretely, to retain members, the club has many feathers in its hat: its personal and attentive quality of
service, which is set to exceeds members’ expectations, the friendly members interactions, its large
range of fine wine, its facilities designed to make members feel at home and its array of services.

During the weekly HOD meeting, managers and HOD from each department communicate feedback
about the club operations, the members queries, etc… The feedback from both HOD and members
allows the club to constantly renew itself before it becomes boring or repetitive for the members. For
example, the wine list and menus are constantly updated to satisfy the members, other types of events
and partnerships are being considered.

Additionally, one powerful tool that helps the club reach this quality of service is the CRM. Although
they may not be the company's definitive CRM, Airtable and SevenRooms, used to their full potential
help the club know its members and solidify its relationship marketing practices. Therefore, the club
develops customer loyalty and builds strong and long-lasting relationships with its members. The next
step for the club is now to streamline the CRM technology to solve the issues with the fragmented
ecosystem of software and simplify and speed up the processing of members' data.

Finally, having several clubs (London, Verbier, Singapore and Beaune set to open in 2023) allows the
company to identify what works and what doesn't in each club.

2. Skills Assessment

The main objective of this internship is to provide me with exposure to real life work setting,
familiarization with the corporate culture while developing my marketers’ skills learned at the
University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne.

67 Pall Mall is a fulfilling and enriching workplace. Working alongside a passionate and dedicated team
was an inspiring and educational experience. Those 5 months have been the ideal opportunity to develop
further my professional skills and build confidence in myself.

31
COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
Working at 67 Pall Mall Singapore has been both challenging and rewarding. In order to be an effective
problem solver, I had to be able to successfully communicate in English which was harder than I
expected. However, this internship offered me the opportunity to observe and learn from my talented
colleagues. I developed my verbal and written communication over the course of this internship, and I
intend to continue to work on this skill.

Due to the club recent opening, many SOP were updated as the club was transitioning to normal
activities. It provided me with insight knowledge on problem solving. While I was working in
conjunction with the Membership Department, I developed my Excel skills. Concretely, I learned how
to process large volumes of data efficiently.

Working with the Events Department gave me a better understanding of the process of event planning
and management. From organizational skills to people skills, an event coordinator should have a clear
vision of the event and communicate it to the departments involved. I had no understanding of the overall
functioning of an event before this internship. After 5 months I believe I can now see more effectively
inter-connections between information, issues and departments.

During my internship, I observed the brand marketing and relationship marketing practices of the club
reflected on everything the club does. From theory to practice, I attained experiential learning.

Finally, working with all the departments allowed me to gain an insightful overview of the club
functioning.

3. Career Path

Interning at 67 Pall Mall Singapore was an amazing experience. Not only have I learned a lot, I also
grew as a person. I could not have asked for a better internship. My passion of wine and appreciation of
event marketing is what lead me to this club “For wine lovers, by wine lovers”. I felt uplifted to work
in an environment where everyone shares a passion for food, wine or hospitality and is dedicated to the
job.

I plan on working in the fine wine industry, as a marketer (Marketing Assistant) to promote a brand, its
products and services and make it achieve its goals.

3. Managing inbox & queries: mail exchange example

Context: a member is asking the Events department to book a ticket for him.

Dear Christina,

We’d love to help, but our staff will not be able to book on behalf of members due to the current ticketing
system policies. All tickets are sold through Ticket Taylor, our current platform for sales, which will
require your preferred credit card details. In accordance to local legal Privacy Data Protection Act
(PDPA), staff cannot book it on behalf of members as this will violate the privacy act.

Both dates that you wanted to attend are currently now sold out, we will inform you the soonest if there
is any cancellation. Hope this is okay?

A Singapore number should be +65, not +1, I’m not sure what went wrong – but give me a call during
office hours Mon-Fri, 10am-5pm if you are still facing issues to purchase tickets. Other sessions are still
available, for example: Sat 12 Mar Iconic Burgundies with Jasper Morris, and 20 March Sauternes lunch
with Jane Anson.

All events are released in stages and through the weekly newsletter, do keep a look out for them. Be
sure to add marketing@67pallmall.sg to your address book so it doesn't end up in junk/spam folder.
Bookings are on a first come first serve basis, to be fair to all members. I’d also recommend you to
follow our social media accounts @67pallmallsg to get the latest updates.

We seek your understanding on this and apologize for any inconvenient caused.

Best regards,
