Summary
Exiting the foodservice industry after 30 years is a zenith mark for my sales career. The business partnerships I forged on behalf of the excellent manufacturers I represented were a masterclass in sales experience. Many changes in the industry over the years have given me the skills and insight to adapt to the ever-changing foodservice landscape.
An opportunity to communicate these sale attributes in the new business world today is the goal I feel awaits me.
A management position with a sales background is the opening I wish to find, with my history of sales applications.
These goals are not limited to the foodservice industry.
