How are you going to begin marketing?
I'm curious...how will you go about getting your first personal chef client?
I went about it the old fashioned way. I started telling absolutely everyone I knew that I was a personal chef until eventually, someone replied, "oh, my mom needs someone like you" and next thing I knew, I was cooking for a family of four.
It still works, ya know! Start telling everyone you know that you're a personal chef. I mean, you're probably doing it for your family right now, right?!
With the right amount of confidence behind your elevator pitch, you can do this. Everyone has to start somewhere and everyone has a first day of business. What do you think about starting to share it tomorrow?
