Big Mike’s Excellent Sales Pitch

“He was able to connect with our sales force and fire them up about this exciting new addition to our selling power” writes Springfield Grocer Distributing after inviting Mike to present to their DSR’s…

Don’t forget to tap into Big Mike’s enthsusiasm when sharing Foodservice Rewards with your sales team, brokers, or distributors:

Subject: Foodservice Rewards

Dear Todd,

Recently our company was introduced to Foodservice Rewards. Since enrolling with your organization, I have nothing but awesome things to say about Michael Zoladkiewicz. His personal attentiveness to assisting our organization in enrolling was superb.

He recently came to one of our monthly sales meetings to explain the process and benefits associated with being a member of Foodservice Rewards. Not only was Michael available for my every question and my every need, he was able to connect with our sales force and fire them up about this exciting new addition to our selling power.

Already, I have had over twenty two sales representatives contact me to assist in signing up their operators. That is very impressive with only a small sales force of sixty employees and less than a week of Foodservice Rewards’ introduction.

To top it all off, Michael received our highest satisfaction ratings ever. Our team rated the Foodservice Rewards Presentation with an “Excellent” score of 66.7% and a “Good” score of 30.6% for a combined total of 97.3%! This just goes to show that Michael is professional, has great humor and is well liked by all.

Sincerely,

Chrissy Hancock
Marketing
Springfield Grocer Company

We provide help with the formal kick off and ongoing education, and often the activity ties into an existing sales promotion already being run by sponsor.

    48 appointments at the UniPro show

    Exhibiting at the Unipro Distributor Show has really paid off for…

    Our third year exhibiting at the UniPro show and 48 distributor appointments (boy, does Big Mike ever speak their language!) with multiple new houses joining online while at the show.

    There was lots of interest from new and existing distributors in co-branded mailings to their customers. In the future, this will become a regular opportunity for sponsors and a significant value-add for DSR’s as each mailing is personalized with his/her contact information.

    In addition, credit has to go to all of our sponsors as each proudly displayed Foodservice Rewards floor mats at the show, making a big impact and all-important repeat impressions.
