Building Partnerships with Distributors with Edward Zimmerman
Edward Zimmerman simply had too much good stuff to say to on his first episode, so we invited him back for a second round of Give an Ovation! If you missed it, Edward has over 40 years in the food and hospitality industry and currently uses all of that experience as President of The Food Connector, a company that develops marketing plans for small to mid-size food manufacturers and distributors.
Edward has been both a restaurant operator and distributor, so he offered some great perspective on building that relationship. Thanks Edward!
