Where to find catering companies in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Catering Companies

Catering Companies want to improve event planning and coordination. However, they can't get it because they have difficulty managing multiple events simultaneously.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. CaterPro.

Event Management Platform for Catering Services : A software solution that helps catering companies streamline event planning, manage resources, track inventory, and coordinate multiple events simultaneously for increased efficiency and customer satisfaction. Of course it is much better than the stuff from CaterTrax, or Caterease!

How to find Catering Companies

You can get insights about the pain points of catering companies if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

Find out where catering companies hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of catering companies, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Event Management Platform for Catering Services.

I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.
