As a former food service employee I thought that “non-sales selling” couldn’t apply to me. There was no way when I was in the back of the house prepping sauces and cutting produce that I was doing some type of selling. I wasn’t trying to get people to part with their resources. I was just getting food ready for the line. After doing some thinking I realized I was wrong. I realized that while I wasn’t doing face-to-face selling with anyone or being a sleazy food sales worker, my effort was going towards selling. Doing a good job prepping foods makes line chefs’ jobs that much better by having better-prepared dishes with better ingredients. Having better-prepared dishes doesn’t directly encourage customers to part with their resources, but it can encourage it in the future by leaving them with a good impression of the dish. A well-prepared dish with well-prepared ingredients that a customer enjoys will be memorable, and more likely to come back and buy from us again. Even though I wasn’t in the front of the house offering our specials and best dishes, I was apart of the sales process from the bottom up, which at its finest be seen as “non-sales selling” Good sales don’t have to be face to face. Sometimes good sales can be producing a good product that a customer will be more inclined to buy at the end of the transaction.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
