#6 Pre-Event Outreach and Contact Details

RPE_Header_6

Pre-Event Outreach:

One of the differentiators of RestaurantPoint is that the One-on-One meetings are mutually agreed upon meetings that are set utilizing the ConnectingPoint technology (Mobile App/Scheduling Tool).  Additionally, the Social Events are intimate in nature which give ample opportunity for Suppliers and Executives to get to know each other on a more personal level. We kindly request participating Suppliers follow our Event process and avoid reaching out to the Executive Audience on your own prior to RestaurantPoint .

Pre-event outreach to the confirmed Chain Audience is highly discouraged and adds confusion on the part of the Executives.

 

Contact Details:

Be sure to request business cards and exchange contact information whenever the opportunity arises! CPMG is not permitted to share the contact information of our Executives. Please keep that in mind as your team prepares for the Event and remember to bring plenty of business cards!

You are now part of an exciting community!  You are a thought leader in the industry and as such, think about your contribution and level of engagement. Your Event experience will be made richer and more rewarding by participating in all aspects of the Event. There is opportunity around every corner when you engage 100%.  We truly believe this will positively impact your team’s overall Event Experience.
