Who better than the man who wrote the book… “Power Entertaining: Secrets to Building Lasting Relationships, Hosting Unforgettable Events, and Closing Big Deals from America’s 1st Master Sommelier.”
“Eat No Mor Chikn!” All too often people seem to adhere to a strict set of rules when it comes to Dinner events. Boring Rubber chicken and Filet Mignon dinners are what we’ve all seen. Food and beverage is often the weakest component to any meeting. It doesn’t have to be that way. It’s time to do it differently.
Your business and sales functions will transform into memorable social events unlike any your clients have ever seen, that people will want to attend again and again.
Gone are those boring business dinners where tables of 8 or 10 sit, eat and leave, having never once looked at or conversed with the stranger sitting next to them. This is a highly entertaining event…with an explosive start-up, followed by humorous anecdotes and true stories. Eddie uses pairs of amazing wines combined with a custom designed dinner he’s created with your chef. Soon the room is filled with excitement as your guests begin to interact while Eddie shares with them with his “Power Entertaining Tips” and guides them into their next wine and food pairing.
Your guests learn Eddie’s new operating system:
How to use Power Entertaining as a powerful business development and client relations strategy. It’s not just about “boozing and schmoozing!”
How to Close Big Deals using Food and Wine with ease, knowledge and confidence.
Become a “Center of Influence.” Learn to brand yourself and your company with others by creating memorable and enjoyable social events that people will long remember and always associate with you.
Use Food and Wine as “The International currency for connection to attract High Net Worth Clients.”
