June 12, 2024How Teyoshe Smith Transformed Charcuterie with Bite by Bite & Co.
Teyoshe Smith, founder of Bite by Bite and Co., has revolutionized the art of charcuterie with her unique approach and passion for nurturing others. With the goal to “normalize charcuterie across the world”, Smith has grown her business on authenticity, customer service, and grit.
Listen now to learn about her evolving pricing strategy, growing her instagram presence, and implementing influencer marketing.

Interview Takeaways:
Unique Pricing Strategy – When Teyoshe Smith started Bite by Bite and Co., she had no pricing strategy. Relying on “what felt right” and the affirmation from her family members, Smith has since ditched that strategy, and that product, for a more data driven, profitable pricing model.
Growing Instagram with Authentic Engagement – The Bite by Bite Co. social media presence has grown rapidly. While currently approaching 11,000 followers, Teyoshe Smith is determined to keep authenticity and organic engagement as a priority to growing the company’s numbers across all platforms.
Connecting with Influencers – A part of Bite by Bite and Co. marketing strategy is involving social media influencers. Though she has taken her chances connecting with the large scale influencers, such as Keith Lee, Teyoshe Smith is also intentional to include influencers with much less followers, including those who are more local.

May 28, 2024Coaching Call with David Meltzer: Effective Content Distribution Strategy
Interview Takeaways:
Unlocking Quantitative Value – Quantitative is measurable, and, according to David Meltzer, should be capitalized on. One piece of content can be extremely valuable with an understanding of how media works so that it is distributed correctly.
Maximizing Content Distribution – Distribution of content doesn’t start after capturing it. For David Meltzer, it is important to have a strategy for capturing content in its best light, and distributing that content both internally and externally.
Aligning Timing and Risk Tolerance – Alignment is paramount to carry out David Meltzer’s Stage Theory. A part of that alignment is building and valuing forming authentic relationships and the management and development thereof.

May 22, 2024Shawn Walchef Discusses Dynamic Pricing and Customer Loyalty on The Restaurant Growth Show
Interview Takeaways:
Dynamic Pricing vs. Surge Pricing – Shawn Walchef and Cali BBQ made waves across the nation with implementing dynamic pricing. Though labeled as “surge pricing”, Walchef wanted to make it clear that dynamic pricing and surge pricing are not interchangeable. With the help of companies, like Juicer, Walchef is ensuring Dynamic pricing is beneficial for all.
Everyone Cares and No One Cares – That’s the biggest fear of all restaurateurs according to Shawn Walchef. The fear of being scrutinized or being ignored. For him, despite growing national attention for Cali BBQ, the heartbeat of the restaurant are the people they serve daily and continuing to use technology and Cali BBQ Media to build trust.
Dynamic Pricing and Loyalty – Acquiring customers is important, but retaining customers is near the top of every restaurant operator’s list. Shawn Walchef and Cali BBQ have teamed with Incentivio to ensure their customers, such as the service people at the Naval Exchange where the latest Cali BBQ will be located, have incentive to continue being customers.
