16 - The Interview: How to Lead With Confidence (Even If It’s Your First Time)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Your first real client interview can feel intimidating—racing heart, tight stomach, and the fear of saying the wrong thing.
But here’s the truth: clients aren’t listening for perfect answers.
They’re listening for confidence.
In this episode of The Become A Personal Chef Podcast, Louie Montan breaks down why confidence is audible, how early client calls were coached behind the scenes, and how calm leadership—not selling—gets clients to book.
You’ll learn:
- Why interviews aren’t about convincing, but guiding
- How tone, pacing, and structure build instant trust
- Why scripts don’t make you robotic—they make you calm
- The one question that reveals what clients really want
This episode is for aspiring and working personal chefs who want to stop sounding nervous, stop over-explaining, and start leading client conversations with clarity.
Because when you lead the call, clients relax—and bookings follow.
🎧 Listen in and borrow confidence until it becomes your own.
