LMG Global Associates: Could Serving Tables Help Teach Entrepreneurial Skills?

    TORONTO, ON, May 14, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Since 2006, the Canadian government has taken significant action to support entrepreneurship in order to increase job creation nationwide. Together with the Economic Action Plan 2015, these initiatives are meant to encourage investment, expand trade and create employment for Canadians in order to help entrepreneurs grow their business and create more jobs. LMG Global Associates say: "It is fantastic that the government supports entrepreneurship. However, we have come across many individuals that did not know how to get started or were uncertain if they would be capable of running a business."

In order to encourage more people to follow their dream and start up a company, LMG Global Associates found that serving tables could teach people how to be an entrepreneur:

Knowing how to sell the product

The more a waiter knows the specials - the most expensive items on the menu - the more convincingly he can promote and sell them. The more people spend, the higher are service charge and tips.

Knowing how to sell themselves

"It is important that people trust you. In order to achieve this, you must find a connection with them. The better a waiter connects with and looks after their guests, the more he can sell and the higher his tips," say LMG Global Associates.

Being inventive and solving problems

Failure is not an option. Waiters make the impossible possible and improvise when they run out of something or a guest has a special request. Should a guest complain, a waiter that learns how to resolve an issue, stands up to mistakes and offers a quick resolution, earns appreciation from the customer and often more tips.

Being team players

LMG Global Associates say: "Everyone makes mistakes. Good waiters don't waste time blaming people but support their team when needed." They show appreciation for their colleagues.

Being used to being busy

Running a business, especially in the beginning, means being extremely busy and learning how to handle several things at the same time. "Good waiters know what to do in busy times. They stay calm, ensure everything around them runs passably smoothly and the customers are happy," explains LMG Global Associates.

Skills from waiting tables can be very handy to become a successful entrepreneur. However, there are similar jobs in retail, sales or hospitality that require the same attributes. "We sincerely hope that this encourages more people and makes them feel more confident to give it a try and start up a business," says LMG Global Associates.
