There is only one way any sales rep in any business can keep customers that long, and that’s due to TOTAL TRUST and doing what you say you’re going to do.
Chris has 84 accounts writing $8.9 million in territories of NW Indiana and South Chicago. Thirty years ago, Mr. Contos was the DSR of the Year for ID Magazine while working with Clark Foodservice.
