Why Catering Companies Choose Old Lead Reactivation

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We only need access to your CRM contact data — names, emails, phones, and any notes on past quotes or orders. Our AI SDRs handle the outreach, qualification, and booking using your calendar. Kitchen ops, BEOs, and delivery logistics stay entirely with your team.","question":"How does Worqd reactivate old catering leads without access to our kitchen operations?"},{"answer":"The AI SDR qualifies leads on budget, headcount, date, and interest level — then books a call with your sales team. Complex menu questions, allergen protocols, and custom proposals are handed off to your staff with full conversation context so nothing falls through the cracks.","question":"Can the AI handle dietary restriction questions and menu customization requests from reactivated leads?"},{"answer":"Paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch. Most catering clients see their first booked tastings or discovery calls within the first 2–3 weeks, depending on database size and segment quality.","question":"What's the typical timeline to see booked calls from a dormant catering database?"},{"answer":"Traditional agencies charge retainers regardless of results. Worqd charges per qualified conversation returned. Our AI SDRs respond instantly 24/7, never miss a follow-up, and integrate with your calendar — no ramp time, no turnover, no 'checking in' emails that go unanswered.","question":"How is this different from hiring a sales agency to cold-call our old leads?"},{"answer":"Yes. We work with your existing tools — whether that's a catering-specific platform, HubSpot, Salesforce, or a spreadsheet. If it can export contacts or accept webhooks, we can connect. No platform switch required.","question":"We use a catering-specific CRM (like Caterease or Total Party Planner).
