We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Christopher Favela a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Christopher, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Quality control is a challenge almost every entrepreneur has had to focus on when growing – any advice, stories or insight around how to best ensure quality is maintained as your business scales?
As the company is growing, maintaining Quality as been a key factor from our start. From the company startup, our mission is use premium quality ingredients. Our customers will be satisfied when hiring our services because our quality in our products will always be of high quality. Before any of our services are introduced, they undergo a strict tasting regime before being offered. These controls that we do before hand have been very effective in why most of our customers are returning customers.
An advice I would give to those concerned about quality control as they grow is keep in mind that customers do notice if quality is downgraded and better prepared else where.
Christopher, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?
The most effective strategy for growing clientele is social media. Marketing has a huge influence on today’s world. We had to adapt to the changing conditions of how marketing works. While we are hired for events, it is a great opportunity to introduce yourself and teach new customers about your business. When people love your product/service, mouth to mouth recommendations goes a long way. We have been hired because our team or product has done a great job for people to recommend us. In today’s technology world, every platform is a great way to get exposure to potential new clients. Every person you talk to is a great candidate to become a customer. Because they might not need your services, but they know of someone who can.
