Account visit
I visited the Fresh Market account on Wednesday, April 3rd. They have a new person that I was quite familiar with. Teri Miller replaced Mark Kuebler who is no longer with the company. Terri and I used to work together at Food Lion years ago. She said she planned on working another 5-8 years before retiring. She was very receptive about the information that I provided her. Reps from California had talked to her just recently and she was in the know about the situation that the NW Cherries could be a little late. However she is very interested in promoting our product as soon as possible. She was real interested in doing demos in her stores as she feels they can get the most mileage from this. She was very happy when I told her that I could give her more dollars this year as Mark ran some ads but did not follow through with the origin wording or the logo in the ads. Since this was their first year,(2018) in having someone call on them , we gave them the benefit of the doubt and James graciously let me carry over the amount to offer them for 2019. I did let her know that this was more than we could normally offer. She was also excited about some of the info we could provide them for the stores. Hope to see good things from this account in 2019.
