Win The Deal Over The Meal:

How To Eat, Drink And Make Money™

The Problems and The Challenges

Make no mistake: business deals are won and lost at restaurant tables. A business meal is not about stuffing your face, getting a free meal or even getting a bite to eat. Where you sit, what you eat, how you eat--even how you handle the wait staff--are all factors that can make or break you.

Even worse, deals are sabotaged by faux pas that might never occur to you. Don’t embarrass yourself or company with inappropriate or rude manners. Don’t lose that deal because you didn’t handle yourself like a pro.

“I was a candidate for a senior leadership position with a big pay increase. The final interview was with the CEO, CFO and other brass, at a fancy restaurant. Luckily, my old firm had retained Kaye for extensive group coaching in dining etiquette. Thanks to her, I was at ease and able to concentrate on the business opportunity . . .”

Your Return on Investment

Mastering Manners That Matter™ so you will be free to concentrate on the important business at hand and not worry about your manners.

“ . . . I never liked doing business at a meal because I always worried how to ‘eat right for company’ like Mom used to say. Kaye taught me what to do with food, wine, silverware and the restaurant staff who always made me feel stupid. Now I am sophisticated and confident. Kaye even made it fun. I strongly recommend her coaching.”
