Some of the largest Fortune 500 companies pride themselves
in novel ways to motivate and improve their personnel. Do
you know what the best motivator can be during a long
business meeting? Good food!
Catering can motivate and improve any business meeting, and
add that "extra" professional touch that will distinguish
your company apart from the rest. Business catering becomes
especially important when you have to entertain new
business partners and professionals. The first impression
of your new associate is always the most important.
Some may argue that catering is expensive, inappropriate,
or ineffective. So why provide catering for your business
meetings? Is it really important to business success to
cater a meeting every now and then? Yes, it is - even more
so when you have especially important meetings that can
affect major decisions of your business. You can increase
your business efficiency by providing lunch or breakfast
for your employees and associates. Your employees have an
incentive to stay focused on the meeting. They feel secure
and don't need to worry about that one hour break where
they need to run out in traffic to get lunch. With your
employees at ease you have successfully created a
worry-free environment and all you had to do was provide
food and drink. Your benefit now is that you can work
without scheduling delays. With your mind free, you can
focus more of your energy on your meeting and leave the
food business to your caterers.
As stated before, first impressions are always most
important when you're working with new business partners.
Business catering distinguishes your company in front of
your new associates and shows your dedication to
professional success. While you may have to invest initial
money into a business catering plan, you will get your
money back (and more) with the increased efficiency and
professional image of your company. You wouldn't write
your name and number on a napkin in lieu of handing over a
business card upon meeting a potential client, would you?
So why would you simply offer a cup of coffee at an
important meeting? You need to represent your company with
the professionalism that it deserves, and catering is just
one of those ways to do this.
Catering will also help retain your employees in your
company and increase business continuity. Catering your
important meetings shows that that your company truly cares
about the personal success of each employee. Your employees
will thank you as well. They will more time to prepare for
their own business at the meeting without having to worry
about their breakfast or lunch. Their personal success will
increase their self-esteem and they will be more confident
at their work. In essence, food motivates!
