SALES FORCE

Any attempt to build a serious program at retail and to be taken seriously by retail buyers begins with the right sales force. The IIDA Sales Force is unmatched in experience, market understanding, and the ability to interface regularly with buyers on your behalf. Our sales staff are ex-buyers from major retail and grocery chains. Our team helps you create a solid retail presentation, recommended promotions, and category-managed plan-o-grams that help drive profits for our manufacturing clients and the retailers we call on daily.
