Andy speaks with Derek Schmitt, Harbor Territory Sales Consultant and Jon Williams, Kitchen Manager of Tizley's Euro Pub in Poulsbo WA about how and why they've developed and maintained such a mutually beneficial relationship. 

We talk about why such a rapport is healthy and helpful for both sides to flourish, and explore tactics and strategies that help draw out the best resources from each side. 

The conversation takes a special turn when we start unpacking how a sales consultant can identify newly minted kitchen leaders and how to help them level-up professionally & personally while ensuring greater success for the restaurants they serve.
