Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jessica Williams. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Jessica, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Finding those key vendors can often be make or break for a brand. Can you talk to us about how you found your key vendors?
Now, I am not going to name any names but I went with a distributor at first for certain charcuterie products. We thought we would be offered high quality items as they showed their brand to be selling high quality items, That was far from the truth! They sold us the worst products we have ever had that then we changed the way we do things straight from there. Which no one will ever know, because it’s a secret!
Lesson: Don’t always trust what company has a higher following count and what you read because they had over 1 Million followers, used at many restaurants in my area and a bunch of good reviews when yes with base line products, sure. Not high quality.
Jessica, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
