Andy is joined by Dan Pohrebny, lead buyer for the Seattle chapter of Flying Foods Group, his Sales Consultant, Brian Lippert, with special guest Greg Gearhart.

We talk about the efficiencies their collaboration bakes into success for both sides, how and why developing such a rapport with his vendors is so important to Dan, and we bring Greg in to help share what the service behind Brian's service looks like.

The conversation takes a special turn when Dan speaks to his philosophy of "Listening Twice" and all the different ways we can mentor. Dan with his young assistant buyers, Greg with his Sales Consultants, and how we can play a mentoring roll for not only our customers, but their up and coming staff, preparing us all to make faster, wiser choices.
