I'm an Independent Manufacturers Rep for Outback Trading. I call on clothing retailers. I travel to the Northwest twice a year to see my customers. I work the rest of the year from home.
I am an Independent Consultant - I work the greater Sacramento area. Calling on restaurants, working to get new customers and servicing existing customers.
My territory was the Sacramento Area. I called on high end restaurants and upscale markets. In the short time I was employed I more than doubled the business in the Sacramento area. I was laid off at the beginning of the pandemic.
My starting territory for Ports was the the Greater Sacramento area. From 2006-2009 we more then tripled business. The economic downturn of 2009 slowed things down, but by 2011 we were back to 2009 numbers. In 2011 Del Monte Meats bought Ports Seafood. I was promoted to take over the Napa Valley and The North Bay. Keeping Sacramento as well. When I left Ports in end of 2012 I was managing over 3 Million Dollars in sales.
So over a 10 year period I worked for 3 different Barn Companies. Starting with MD at the end of 2000. I became the Salesman of the year my first year. Selling almost a million dollars in materials. All these positions were commission only.
With MD for the first 3 years I was making just under $100,000 a year. Barns by Harrah's and FCP was somewhere around $30- $40 thousand a year. The market was starting to slow as we got into 2008 and I was working for Ports as well.
My wife and I have been married for 27 years and she got me into running in 1992- Ran for 15 plus years, walk more now. We started riding horses in 1998 and I rode Endurance from 2001 till 2016. My wife still rides, I just help out, cleaning barn and feeding. We have 5 acres in the foothills and that keeps me fit.
