22 - Signature Services: How Personal Chefs Stop Selling Meals and Start Selling Meaning
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If someone asked your last client why they hired you, what would they say?
“Great menu”…
or
“They understood exactly what we needed”?
In this episode of The Become A Personal Chef Podcast, Louie Montan breaks down the shift that separates busy, underpaid chefs from the ones who are remembered, referred, and booked without price fights.
Because the problem isn’t your food.
It’s not your marketing.
It’s your positioning.
You’ll learn:
- Why people don’t hire chefs because they’re hungry
- How selling experiences creates pricing power
- Why generalists get compared and specialists get remembered
- What a real signature service actually is (and isn’t)
- How meaning—not calories—is what clients pay for
This episode is for chefs who are done explaining their value and ready to design experiences clients talk about long after the plates are cleared.
Because the highest-paid chefs aren’t the busiest.
They’re the most remembered.
🎧 Listen in—and start selling meaning, not meals.
