The Chefs'? Warehouse的动态

According to my (5 mins on Google) research, the office workers who buy into Valentine's Day the most are, unsurprisingly, sales and marketing types. Perhaps the action of drafting or implementing a Valentine's plan is the subliminal driver here - you are what you eat after all. Shout out to all the sales and marketing lovers out there, with or without a Valentine! (And if your current sales and marketing role is not loving you back, check out our jobs page https://lnkd.in/exMU3Rfz ?? ??)

Post Expo seems like a great time for this. Allow me to reintroduce myself...my name is Wade Yenny, and I'm looking for my next professional opportunity/journey. Born and raised in Ohio, I spent the first part of my career in the restaurant business. Starting as a short order cook in high school and working my way into salaried management while still only 18 years old. I learned all aspects of that business, from front of house, to back of house, managing, and culminating in me actually owning my own restaurant for over 2 years. I transitioned into the grocery business with the same mindset. I needed/wanted to learn all areas of that business, so I spent a full year working every area of Center Store (and beyond). Grocery, Dairy, Frozen, Beer/Wine, Receiving, Night Stock, Merchandising, Cashier, Carryout--you name it-I did it. Eventually, I was promoted to be a salaried Grocery Manager. I made the move to corporate buying about 20 years ago and have worked with a variety of companies ranging from 4 stores to 161, covering formats from family owned conventional to high end natural organic to focused specialty. I've held various positions from Buyer to Vice President, and have been promoted at every company along the way, all the while building people, relationships, and brands. I've been asked...what do I want to do next? I've said I'm open to any/all conversations, but at the core, I want to do what I do best... Develop and Build. -People. -Relationships (both internal and external). -Brands. That's me in a nutshell...so... Do you want to #workwithwade? Or...do you know of an opportunity that might be a good fit? Reach out...and let's talk. “You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don't take”? -Wayne Gretzky #grocery #cpg #sales #retail #crawlwalkrun

Lessons I Learned from Working 10+ Years in Retail ?? Analyze Your Comp Year When I was 19, I got a job at a store I really wanted to work at. It was 2009, and I applied to work at this store that was coming to a major mall in Winnipeg. The store hadn’t opened yet, and helping set it up was an invaluable experience for me. The brand flew in three people from Toronto stores to assist us. One of the biggest lessons I learned was in the backroom, where I helped put up a big yearly chart that tracked the current year’s and last year’s sales, along with spaces for daily target sales, conversion goals, transaction goals, and highest single transaction sales. As I set up backroom office supplies, including this calendar, my store manager casually explained how our parent company set up our yearly and quarterly sales targets. She would then take those targets and split them up over months based on regional trends, traffic, and her experience working in this specific Winnipeg mall. She explained that since we didn’t have a comp year, this year would be the real benchmark for our store. I was fascinated by the data. It reminded me of the scoreboards and stats from growing up playing basketball. Here were our store’s target stats and our work cut out for us for the next 12 months. This experience taught me the importance of analyzing sales data and setting realistic, data-driven targets. Understanding how to break down annual goals into manageable monthly targets was crucial for our store’s success and became a fundamental lesson in my retail career. #LessonsILearnedFromRetail #Retail #Prairies

While working in the retail industry taught me perseverance, I have to be honest about how physically exhausting and mentally draining the work is. Morning shifts require one to endlessly unbox and put things on the shelf. Make the store presentable. Bring new things out. And if you work in a multi-brand store that receives inventory five days a week, you just have boxes and boxes of merchandise to go through every single day. Mid-day or closing shifts aren't much different either. To top it off, customers walk in with utmost entitlement, highly critical of the sales associates. I have had a woman tell me how I pushed her twice when I didn't even touch her once. I have had customers leave behind a mess; nail polish stains, half-full beverage cups, spilled drinks and snacks, chewing gum and what not. Some of the customers are extremely unforgiving and would hold you accountable for things you did not even do. And when you are a person of colour, well things only get worse. Even though I am not working in retail right now, I have made it a point to clean up after myself when I am in a store (not that I was a messy person before). I put things back where they were. I am always patient and kind with the sales staff regardless of the circumstances. And I would encourage others to do the same. Small acts of kindness go a long way. Don't let a moment of weakness ruin someone else's entire day.

“We don’t hire people to bake brownies, we bake brownies to hire people.” I've posted about Greyston Bakery before, having met CEO Joseph Kenner at an event in Rome, but their "Open Hiring" approach is so novel that it came back into view again this year and is worth sharing. At Greyston, job seekers put their name on a list and when the next opening comes up, they get the job, no questions asked, no background checks or anything. What they are doing is unlocking human potential through inclusive employment. The magic question: how does a 40 year old company that bakes brownies for Unilever, Ben & Jerry's’s and Whole Foods Market keep their standards high enough to meet stringent customer requirements with this kind of hiring policy? A lot of it has to do with gratitude and loyalty. Greyston employees in many instances have been given a second chance at life, and they deliver because they're proud to have an opportunity that no one else was prepared to give them. This comes together in a magical way: employee engagement, profitability and social responsibility working hand in hand. It’s very courageous and bold, it's also very impactful. And who doesn't like brownies? Applying our minds, what other industries could this work in?

What business development lessons can you learn from visiting the city of Liverpool? I was taught at the start of my career at Procter & Gamble the value of fieldwork, site visits, and ‘store checks’. 30 years later I still believe that you learn more outside the office by engaging with people in the field and walking in the shoes of others. Today my travels take me to Liverpool (close to the home ironically of P&Gs arch rival Unilever). I am combining a client visit to the wonderful team at Hindles Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys with my own research and learning. Here are 5 lessons that can be learned from this remarkable city steeped in history: ?? Brand identity matters. It’s a true differentiator. ?? Imperfections are okay. It is what makes you human, authentic, and believable. ?? Have courage in your conviction. Don’t be afraid to go against the grain. ?? Humour makes a difference. It diffuses tension and connects people. ?? You don’t need sophisticated marketing to have a global reach. Scousers are known worldwide without advertising. Interested to hear your BD lessons from Stoke on Trent to Seville and Grimsby to Gibraltar. #liverpool #businessdevelopment #clientresearch Andy Hosie Keith Higgins Robert Gregory John Vater KC, MCIArb.
