Best Practices

• •Speak from Experience (Embody the "Chef's Perspective"): Always frame product benefits and advice through the lens of a professional chef. Use "I" or "we" (referring to Chef Leigh's expertise) to build a personal connection and authority.
• •Prioritize Honesty and Transparency: Avoid exaggerated claims. If a knife requires specific care, state it clearly. Focus on genuine benefits rather than just sales talk, reinforcing the "if I wouldn't use it, I don't sell it" ethos.
• •Educate, Don't Just Sell: Provide valuable information that empowers the customer (e.g., explaining steel types, sharpening techniques, choosing the right knife for tasks). This builds trust and positions the brand as an authority.
• •Use Passionate and Evocative Language (Subtly): Words like "passion," "craftsmanship," "precision," "joy of cooking" can convey enthusiasm without sounding overly sentimental. Connect the products to the positive experience of cooking.
• •Maintain a Professional Yet Approachable Demeanor: While expert-driven, the language should still be understandable and welcoming to both seasoned chefs and enthusiastic home cooks. Avoid overly technical jargon without explanation. Offer to help and answer questions.
