So I've been there... and I've probably done it! Having spent many years in Hospitality Consulting, Sales & Business Development roles for small and large foodservice and catering organisations let me support you when you need that additional resource in your sales team, a second opinion or some ideas on a strategy for a large complex bid, or a sounding board or sense checker on that financial submission, let's see how I could help.
We all know that finding good BDM's is like finding Rocking Horse poop at the moment, right?! So if the bids are coming thick and fast and you just need a lift, then get in touch.
Whether it's a one off or a more regular gig, I can use my passion for writing about food, drink, people and processes (yeah, I know, I LOVE a process) to help get your message across to your prospects and potential clients in an engaging, compelling way. And where appropriate inject a bit of fun too!
And don't forget - the devil is in the detail and 'ok' is not good enough!! It's got to excite and delight, it's got to be perfect. My attention to detail, as many will know, is a defining characteristic!
And the more I know about you, your business and your team the easier it is to let that flow through in the bid.
So you're doing well, business is coming in, team are generally happy but there's something missing, that certain something niggling away that sometimes is the difference between winning that bid, and bridesmaiding.
Let's have a deep dive (oh no, I said it, sorry...) into the business and what you stand for, or want to stand for, and put a plan together. You might be experiencing some growing pains as you move to the next level of your businesses evolution, or a change in leadership or ownership that has confused or diluted some of the key messages?
Whether it's a new brand to market, brand refresh or full rebrand, or a change in direction, market focus or just some new ideas on operational delivery and service standards we've got the right tools for the job.
I LOVE a spreadsheet. Those who have worked with me will know I'm all about the detail!
Sense checking the financials you've created before submission, checking all those links and formulas work, or preparing you for the questions you may be asked by clients and consultants on your numbers!
We can go the whole hog too if you want us to and pull together a really detailed set of numbers for a complex, multi-site bid from scratch, just say the word.
Assuming by this point we've got to know each other well I will be that flexible, nimble extension to your team you can call upon as and when needed.
Don't get those numbers in a muddle... #letshuddle!
