Client Retention & Expansion Workshop (CREW)

Does your personal chef service need a boost? Are you looking for more growth but are at a loss as to where to begin? Has your personal chef service not reached full potential yet? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, then perhaps it is time to put our CREW to work for you.

For a variety of reasons, Personal Chefs sometimes need a little assistance to re-energize their service. Sometimes due to an extended absence from the service. Sometimes the timing wasn’t right and the business never really took hold or got properly launched. Or maybe you’ve operated at a part-time level and are now ready to bring more business onboard. Regardless of the reason, the Culinary Business Academy can help.

The Culinary Business Academy offers a live, interactive training program where Personal Chefs in need of additional focus or guidance can get personalized attention and be exposed to a variety of fresh ideas, techniques and marketing options. This program is packed with marketing ideas, time management structure and fresh twists that can revitalize virtually any personal chef service in need of a boost. This exciting beneficial program is called CREW, or Client Retention & Expansion Workshop.
