Pinnacle Food Sales
How We Do It
OUR PEOPLE
Our people are the most important asset we have, and we believe that our willingness to listen to our associates helps cultivate an environment which attracts and helps retain the very best. Each day our dedicated associates are in stores working on behalf of all the brands we represent and we know their actions are a significant contributor to our reputation.
RETAIL COVERAGE
Our emphasis on retail coverage is extensive. We employ approximately 70 retail merchandisers, who are responsible to call on retailers, service our represented products, render sales assistance and product education, arrange displays, perform sets/re-sets, install point-of-sale material, and complete surveys.
KEY TO SUCCESS
While components such as data analysis and the development of cutting edge processes are key to any organizations success, we continue to recognize that the retail class of trade still is a people driven arena.
PROFESSIONALISM
Our reputation for reliability and professionalism has earned our retail staff the trust of both local and regional management as well as in-store personnel. These well-developed relationships have proved to be an invaluable resource in successful product representation.
RETAIL ASSOCIATES
At the end of the day we understand that most buying decisions are made at the shelf and that’s the reason we continue to invest significant time and energies in our Retail Associates.
