Our Company
Concepts Food Group, Inc., was founded late in 2008 after we discovered that there were many smaller, independent producers of excellent products who wanted help to market and sell their lines. Some had developed superb products that won rave reviews, but needed assistance to start marketing and selling them. Others already had sales organizations and processes in place, but were looking for help to expand into our geographic market. Because they were smaller or newer, several had been rebuffed by, or had bad experiences with, the larger brokerage houses, which tended to concentrate more heavily on their larger corporate accounts.
We quickly realized that our vast and varied experience within the foodservice industry enabled us to fill the need expressed by these independent producers. Between us, the two founders have sold for nationally ranked national and regional foodservice restaurants and distributors for more than 15 years, during that time we have had sales totaling more than $200,000,000. One of us was a national sales manager with two different manufacturers. Both have worked in and managed restaurants for years before turning to sales. As a distributor sales rep, I have worked with literally hundreds of broker reps. We know that immediate follow-up and attention to detail are essential. We know what end users and distributors are looking for to maximize turns and profitability. We know that manufacturers, producers, and processors need to grow sales quickly. We know this business. In addition, we know what it takes for us to help you succeed.
Sometimes smaller is better. We can customize our services, programs, and support to suit virtually any customer's needs. Since we represent fewer product lines, we learn them intimately. We become experts on our lines. Our extensive product knowledge enables us to offer distributors and end users the features and benefits they need to sell their products profitably. We give every customer personalized service and the attention they deserve. We even offer consulting services for small manufacturers who don't want broker representation, but are just looking for help or advice. We have developed a consulting program for restaurant operators seeking assistance to increase their sales and/or profitability. We can also provide just marketing and advertising services for those wanting quality, effective sales brochures, or other point-of-sale materials designed for them.
Concepts Food Group, Inc., is committed to providing desired results through excellence in service, integrity, confidentiality, and professionalism. Our customers are our focus. We realize that our success depends on theirs. We pledge to give your business' success the attention it deserves.
