For the fifth consecutive year, this power panel of sales leaders will discuss the opportunities and challenges facing catering sales leaders and their teams today. The market has shifted and control is in the buyers hands. Catering salespeople are often too reactive. Let's get back to the basics of SELLING catering. The conversation will include teaching your team how to read and talk to a client on that first call, how to define the value of what you are selling and how to develop a strong connection with that the client to keep coming back year after year.
