Maybe not the best way to secure new clients?
Chantel in Planning, on August 7, 2015 at 7:44 PM

I've been in talks with a caterer all week. Their menu looked good, the price was right etc. So, I asked about setting up a tasting. "Sorry, we don't do tastings. That's more of a hotel thing" was the...
