Leading Caterers of America

Listen to this powerful panel as they compare sales responsibilities (Inquiries, Proposal, Sale/Close, Walkthroughs, Packlist, Rental Orders, Onsite Day-Of ) between their different companies. Who handles what? The intention is to show that many different models can be successful!

Panel conversation topics:
- Compensation - How do you account for the cost of one sale/event toward multiple people
- Titles matter - avoiding "assistant"
- Building trust for hand-offs externally and internally
- Hiring the right people for the right roles and growth opportunities
- Hard lessons learned when building shared-responsibility teams
