2014 Sales Meeting by Al Duthie

The week of December 1st, 2014, Crest Foods held its annual sales meeting in Greenville, South Carolina. Our sales people from territories across the United States and the Technical Service group from all around the country joined Customer Service, Research & Development and Con- sumer Products personnel from Ashton, IL for the meeting. Following the Crest Foods Compa- ny Culture the gathering was more like a family reunion, and the timing, so close to the holidays, could not be more appropriate. Although everyone who attended had to break away from busy schedules it was definitely worth- while, given the importance of staying on track to deliver the best sales and service to our

current and future customers. There were many open discussions on ways to be more effective in our jobs. Some of the topics included good interaction and participation. It also topics on current formulas, current product blends, new proj- ects, the area of UHT, general innovation, and general prospecting. Everyone agreed that it was fun to come together as a group and the time spent was productive. The 2014 calendar year was a good, solid year for Crest Foods. And meetings such as this one that show all the opportunities that abound, point to an even better year in 2015.
