Chapter 653 - 644: Reputation Paves the Way
Yao Shi’s words were like a revelation, providing Fu Yu with a brand new marketing idea.
After listening carefully, Fu Yu slapped his forehead!
Oh my god!
No wonder Yao Shi can be a big boss and make big money!
He just thinks more than the average person!
His brain is really sharp!
Installment payments are a great idea!
The potential student clientele is indeed massive if marketed properly.
If they could truly choose an installment payment order model, the feasibility of this matter would be much greater!
During this period, Fu Yu learned a lot about this from being around Liu Yunong.
To maximize profit, the marketing scope needs to be broadened.
And the student clientele is such a vast potential customer base!
With a bit of thought, Fu Yu instantly understood the significance of it.
Yao Shi, being decisive, immediately concluded, "I understand this matter. Let me study more on how to implement it specifically, and then you can approach the clients."
After Fu Yu agreed and hung up the phone, he was suddenly excited.
They say the easiest money to make is from kids; maybe he’d inadvertently opened up a huge new customer base!
Fu Yu couldn’t help feeling a little conceited.
With Yao Shi’s brainpower, as long as this could be implemented, the profits would surely pour in!
Thinking about it got Fu Yu quite excited.
Anyway, Yao Shi would handle all the arrangements, and all Fu Yu needed to do was customize and cook the herbal meals according to the customer’s needs.
It’s just like how a celebrity signs with a studio.
From promotion to contract signing, and all after-sales matters are arranged by the studio.
The celebrity just needs to participate in promotion and can rest assured they’ll get paid.
Especially because herbal meals are high-priced, with great profit returns.
Earning commission from one order almost matches what he earns from a year’s hard work in the kitchen.
The more he thought about it, the more thrilled he became.
However, at this point, Fu Yu didn’t realize that his culinary influence was just beginning to take off.
As the herbal meal market opened up, his fame would grow, spread by word of mouth, attracting more and more clients.
After all, the first batch of customers who benefited from the herbal meal regimen has just completed their treatments, and now is the time for his reputation to gradually ferment.
And once batch after batch of beneficiaries fully recognize Fu Yu’s abilities and skills, that’s when he will truly start to become popular.
The back-kitchen industry is different from other industries.
The most important promotional method is the word-of-mouth among customers.
After all, a reputation that spreads far and wide is the true testament of strength!
...
Yao Shi is very efficient.
As soon as Fu Yu finished reporting, Yao Shi immediately started on the installment payment customization for herbal meals.
From the down payment, to compensation matters, and all possible large or small incidents, various possible accidents and disputes during the herbal meal regimen period were all considered.
For this matter, Yao Shi even made a special trip to his lawyer friend’s house.
The two of them worked together, carefully scrutinizing all the relevant contract terms, one by one.
When Fu Yu got the new herbal meal customization contract and saw all the terms regarding installment payment customization, his admiration for Yao Shi was almost overflowing.
In the business world, there’s always something to learn.
After decades of experience, just a few pointers from Yao Shi could greatly benefit Fu Yu.
"From now on, for student herbal meal customization, we’ll follow this protocol,"
Yao Shi handed a sample contract to Fu Yu.
From start to finish, he didn’t question how Fu Yu got connected with the students from Yi Zhong.
If Fu Yu wanted to explain, he would have voluntarily recounted the story over the phone at the time.
Since he didn’t mention it then, there’s no need to deliberately pry.
Fu Yu was quite pleased.
After going back, he thoroughly studied all the terms and discounts on the contract himself.
It was indeed very professional, and the charges were quite reasonable.
The price remained unchanged, but by breaking it down this way, it significantly reduced the psychological pressure.
When it comes to taking money out of customers’ pockets, big bosses are indeed experienced!
Fu Yu then took photos of the installment payment contract sample and sent them to Zhang Zhen.
As a result, within a few days, Fu Yu had a few more female student customers wanting to customize herbal meals.
And according to Zhang Zhen, these few are relatively decisive, while others are still on the fence and inquiring. Such people are all potential clients for the future.
Fu Yu was no longer the naive workplace newcomer clueless about the ways of the world.
On the phone, he half-jokingly said, "Chef Zhang, you’ve opened up a whole new customer channel for me! Once this order is smoothly completed, I must give you a bonus. Let’s see how we can arrange that..."
Zhang Zhen quickly interrupted Fu Yu: "Hey! Don’t say that! How can I take a bonus from you! If we really think about it, I still owe you. Yaoyao’s treatment this time was basically a favor from you, and she didn’t do much other than help promote by word of mouth among her classmates. If you keep talking like this, it feels too formal!"
"I treat you as a brother, and between friends, you help when you can. Talking about money hurts feelings!"
