This was about teaching our front line how to sell in a competitive and diverse market with different variations of market share from Maine to New York. The primary focus was to streamline an educated approach to how we sold through probing for customer needs and aligning to those needs for mutual growth and profit. Key Initiatives- Teaching and tracking RED (Right Execution Daily) in our market. RED was our streamlined approach to basic execution that created consistent looks in the market that aligned to our companies look of success and goals. Our goal was to grow this execution by having our team survey outlets and increase scores and more importantly, understanding of these goals across the market. Retail and Execution Strategy- As I traveled to each Sales Center and toured the trade, I helped each Sales Center by providing real life examples of how to win in the market place. Myself, and local leaders would hone in on specific account that had opportunity to grow. We would collectively decide on a strategy based on the customers needs. This included all formats of Large Store's, Convenience Retail and Food Service On Premise. We came up with multiple scenarios and ways to win, created and provided a business review to the customer and executed for results. 10 Sales Centers used this approach with 1 or 2 accounts and the results were double digit growth in all scenarios. More importantly, this provided a "way to win" template that was then duplicated in other outlets. New Product Launch Initiatives- Innovation of our portfolio is key to winning in our market. In 2017 we launched multiple new brands including Dunkin Donuts RTD and and conversion from 8 pack mini cans to 6 pack mini can. I was charged with building sell sheets and working with production and planning for successful launches Show less
