How do you guys find new customers?
    #24919810 - 01/17/18 02:21 AM (6 years, 2 months ago)

I scaled up my gourmet mushroom grow operation recently and am currently supplying a couple of restaurants and cafe's around town. So far I've just been calling up local businesses, asking to speak with the manager or head chef, and asking if they're interested in sampling some of my mushrooms, but I'm finding that most of the time it's incredibly difficult to get ahold of the manager/head chef.

I've tried emailing businesses instead, but usually get a response from front of house saying that they've passed the email onto the manager (whether they actually do or not is anyones guess)

I'm also trying to contact businesses on social media, but I'm finding that most of these businesses have their social media accounts handled by marketing teams.

I'd prefer to speak to a manager or chef to arrange a time to take the samples in, but now I'm wondering whether I should just rock in there unannounced with a box of samples and drop them off.

Just wondering what methods have worked for you guys?

I suggest you first use the search function.  There have been a number of threads dealing with this issue.  Good luck!

Show up before 4pm. Talk to the person who does the ordering.

Im a chef all you have to do is go in early. Never at busy times like lunch or dinner you will get snubbed trust me. From 8_11 in the morning and 2_ 4 in the afternoon. I have the same problem in my town to be honest I've given out more fuckin samples than sold. Then noon call back. Or you have asshole chefs who don't know dick and say I don't have a use for them. Farmers market is going to be your best sales. Is for me at least the people seek you not the other way around. People love hearing how you grow them too.
