I I specialize in helping consumer product manufacturers, distributors and retailers increase their profits utilizing solutions based supply chain management and data driven programs.As a sales professional, I take the approach of active listening with my customers to get to the heart of what they need and how I can help. I don’t sell you, I solve your problem – even the complicated ones. I combine this approach with modern sales analytics to build compelling strategies and measurable profit growth. For 28 years, I’ve been helping companies grow through data analysis, process improvement and problem solving.I combine my ability to build relationships with my knowledge in personality type theory to understand people and look at life though their eyes so I can speak to their concerns and develop more creative, effective programs.Outside of work, I am passionate about helping foster youth. I’ve served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate and support the First Place for Youth in Oakland, CA, who assist in emancipating youth with transitional housing.When I’m not working or volunteering, I’m spending time with my three boys, being physically active or immersing in live R&B and jazz.If you want to talk about driving your sales or retail program, sales strategy or the best jazz festivals to attend, email me at pat.rodda@cashcoinc.com.Specialties: Non-Food Retail | Consumer Goods | Health and Beauty Products | Sales Leadership | Category Management | Sales Training | Analytics & Data Analysis | KPIs / Measurement | Account Management | Trendspotting | Retail Distribution | Presentations | Subcategory Analysis | Retail Program Audits | Personality Type Theory | Distribution Network Development | Cost Containment | Inventory Management | Performance Optimization | Strategic Supplier Management | Consumerization | Supply Chain | Space Management | Sku Rationalization
