The sales manager's work – is never boring In sales manager life - there are always bad and good moments, critical and exciting win-win situations. We can compare sales manager life with roller coaster ride. But it is important, especially for those bad and critical moments, to remember - there is a reason why you were chosen for this sales manager role - the decision-makers in your organization believe in your abilities, believe in you. Knowing this, gives strength to go on and grow together with your company 🙌 #beautyproduts #skincare #cosmetics #salesmanager #wholesaler

from a retail standpoint, much like with wholesale, the ability to hand-sell is THE lethal weapon. when only one person has tasted (buyer or mgr) and staff has not had the opportunity, hand selling is quasi impossible (or the results are weak). often the product has been sold at that store for a while, so much so that, because of turnover, most people on the sales floor have not tasted the stuff nor heard the story from someone involved. in wholesale much like in retail, the only way to convince another human to buy a product is to have tasted it, know a little bit about it as to feel comfortable giving a short spiel and/or an opinion: - regularly pulling bottles for staff trainings/tastings - having wholesalers/importers/distillers/suppliers come and school the team - let the crew blind-taste and give everyone the opportunity to generrate their own tasting notes and opinions the key is to allow one to develop a personnal connection with the product. once achieved, sales increase.

President and CEO of Associated Wholesale Grocers since 2023, Dan Funk joined the Kansas City-based cooperative wholesaler in 2012 and worked his way up the executive leadership team. Funk has worked at every level of the grocery industry over the course of his lifelong career, from store level to management, at retail and wholesale. Funk recently shared his thoughts on leadership, collaboration and the state of the industry with National Grocers Association Independent Grocer magazine. The following are excerpts from his responses; you can read the full profile in the Summer 2024 issue of Independent Grocer. Q: How can independent grocers remain competitive in the face of competition from big-box stores and national chains? FUNK: Retailers who focus on their unique value proposition that differentiates their business from others is critical to ongoing success. Finding areas where they can excel within their local markets compared to competitors, and leveraging those strengths to continue to grow their business, is key. As a wholesale partner, we work to leverage the scale and provide services that any member retailer could not do within their own business at the same scale or efficiency. Bringing new programs, products and services to retailers is also a big part of the support that wholesale teams can provide in keeping independent retailers more competitive beyond the actual scale in the supply chain that a wholesaler can bring forward. Q: What are the most important issues facing independent grocers? FUNK: Finishing out 2024 and into 2025, certainly how the economy plays out will be critical. The consumer has been strained, and while some metrics conflict within the national view, many consumers are being impacted negatively. Seeing some leveling of consumer impacts that can create added consumer strength, and everyone will be watching closely. With the 2024 election, a large focus will be on continued progress that NGA, independent retailers and wholesalers have been focused on related to power buyers negatively impacting independent retailers. Also, the areas of regulation that are putting added cost burdens on retailers and wholesalers, disproportionately impacting smaller retailers across the U.S. and ultimately raising prices to consumers.
