6 Communication & Relationship Building Interview quotations about communication: Call me,! Keep me posted as to what s happening. I need two weeks notice of any changes. Communicate 2-3 times per week during produce season. I need four days notice to re-supply elsewhere if farmers won t have the product.
7 Best Marketing Practices: Communication & Relationship Building I understand the importance of advanced notice to the buyer about my products availability and changes in quantity or quality I have the buyers contact information such as their direct phone numbers, and ; I understand the best way to reach them I understand wholesale food buyers have many demands on their time, therefore I make appointments in advance in order to meet with the buyer about my products
8 Best Marketing Practices: Communication & Relationship Building I am building good relationships with my customers so that, if deliveries are delayed or mixed up, we can have an honest conversation about their concerns I present a professional and clean personal appearance when making business calls to potential customers

16 Grocery retailers doing their best to source as locally as possible State-level promotions growing in popularity Rarely able to promote at farm-supplier level
17 Best Marketing Practices: Packaging I understand industry standard packaging and am prepared to deliver that kind of package I asked the buyer how they want products packaged I will package appropriately to protect integrity, temperature and contamination I will package to allow storage on pallets, in racks
18 Best Marketing Practices: Packaging I have access to industry standard materials I have processors to produce desired cuts or products from meat or dairy production I produce and provide products that consistently meet USDA or industry grading, sizing and quality standards

27 Market Ready Modules Communication & Relationship Building Packaging Labeling Pricing Supply Delivery Invoicing Insurance Quality Assurance, Audits & Certifications Satisfaction Guarantee Marketing An ongoing process Local Products for Local Markets
28 Comparative Wholesale Pricing Processing costs for local meats are too high to be competitive on a commodity basis. Local meat has to sell for more. Mark Critchfield - Critchfield Meats Lexington, KY Wholesale meats prices Produce auction and wholesale prices Auction and farm market prices Wholesale terminal prices for produce
29 Pricing Standard Retail Pricing Margin-based retail pricing (used by almost all food retailers standard retail price) Food cost % = 1 - % margin Target retail price = wholesale unit cost/food cost % Example: A retailer wants to get a 40% margin on asparagus. A case standard is 28 pounds and costs $48.50 from the supplier. This comes to $1.73/pound cost to the retailer. The food cost % in this case is =.60 The target retail price to reach the margin with this method is $1.73/.60 = $2.89/lb.
30 Standard Retail Pricing How is the target margin determined by the retailer? Spoilage higher likelihood of loss means higher margin required to cover losses Theft or unaccounted loss of inventory Unsold inventory Seasonality, demand, availability in other stores Special promotions Typical grocery produce margins run 33-50% and are variable across items
31 Best Marketing Practices: Pricing I research current market prices and am aware of the transportation costs I incur in delivery I understand processing, packaging costs and any other post-harvest costs I will discuss and provide a written description of my products attributes, benefits and label claims I will give an estimate of how much product volume I can provide and for how long I will quote the buyer a delivered price for the product I am prepared to discuss each size, grade or cut of product with the buyer I priced the product at a level where I can make a profit and be a stable supplier

33 Supply You can t get away with telling the customer, we don t have it, not in wholesale food sales. There is no, no in my business. -Bert Robinson, owner Superior Meats, Louisville, Kentucky
34 Supply Are there minimum volumes needed to do business? There are small, medium, and large wholesalers and grocers dealing with a wide range of minimum volumes Pre-planning on volume and market season is highly desired Discuss target volumes for specific merchandising events
35 Supply Take responsibility for the volume committed to supply Providing exceptional service in the case of crop failures or other challenges helps strengthen the farmer-wholesale buyer relationship Regular updates about availability, quality and expected volumes is often the preferred method to reach out to busy wholesale buyers
36 Best Marketing Practices: Supply I will discuss the potential products and forms of products that the buyer may be interested in purchasing I will supply a consistent volume of product to the buyer for a specified period of time I understand the importance of advanced notice to the buyer about product availability and changes in quantity or quality I have a plan to accomplish steady production of my product I have the buyers contact information I am aware that some buyers may want to purchase products from an independent wholesaler in order to improve their logistics and quality assurance procedures

41 Best Marketing Practices: Delivery I understand the cost in time and fuel, etc. associated with product delivery I will arrange affordable transportation to the buyers requested delivery location(s) at an acceptable frequency I will ask the buyer about delivery procedures and accommodate if able I have an invoicing system that allows me to leave an invoice with each delivery or provide a bill of lading and send an invoice via mail or I will investigate delivery services in new areas to gain new clients I will build good relationships so that, if deliveries are delayed or mixed up, we can have an honest conversation about their concerns
42 MarketReady Module Communication & Relationship Building Packaging Labeling Pricing Supply Delivery Invoicing Insurance Quality Assurance, Audits & Certifications Satisfaction Guarantee Marketing An ongoing process Local Products for Local Markets
43 Invoicing and Records Document all transactions Grocery, Wholesale and Foodservice buyers more demanding, need regular communication of basic information Name, address, phone number, product, how much it weighed and how much it cost. (date, transaction# are a good idea, too) Invoice Bill of lading deals with transportation records Cash/payment receipt Occasional seasonal transactions with smaller independents may be more flexible Larger sales volume needs system of financial controls Consider QuickBooks
44 Invoice Example Farm Logo displayed prominently Space for customer contact information Invoice DIRECT TO YOU FARM Date: 10/30/2009 INVOICE # [100] TO [Name] [Company Name] [Street Address] [City, ST ZIP Code] [Phone] Customer ID [ABC12345] Salesperson Job Shipping Method Shipping Terms Delivery Date Payment Terms Due Date Net 15 Days 11/15/2009 Qty Item # Description Unit Price Discount Line Total 2 Cases HEIRLOOM TOMATOES Invoice date and number Payment terms and due date specified Your Farm s complete contact information Total Discount Subtotal Sales Tax Make all checks payable to DIRECT TO YOU FARM Thank you for your business!

49 Insurance Smaller grocers and wholesalers tend to have minimal coverage requirements: mostly $1 million umbrella, some $2 million Larger retailers can require as much as $5 million in coverage Ask your insurance provider communicate your business activities
50 Best Marketing Practices: Insurance I will verify with the buyer their company s vendor requirements for product liability, worker s compensation and other insurance policies I will show proof of proper coverage I will have liability insurance coverage for my farm business activities
51 MarketReady Modules Communication & Relationship Building Packaging Labeling Pricing Supply Delivery Invoicing Insurance Quality Assurance, Audits & Certifications Satisfaction Guarantee Marketing An ongoing process Local Products for Local Markets
52 Quality Assurance, Audits & Certifications Food safety is the biggest issue on the horizon for local products. Rob Turnier, President Creation Gardens, Louisville, KY Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) program Voluntary (smaller retailers) 3 rd party audit (largest buyers and Federal purchases) Kentucky program
53 Quality Assurance, Audits & Certification Few restaurants buying direct from growers identified these as major requirements Meats/dairy lean on USDA inspection; processors must be USDA inspected Grocers/wholesalers differ widely Large entities see mandatory USDA GAP with 3 rd party certification as imminent Small entities seem satisfied with certification of GAP training
54 Quality Assurance, Audits & Certification Credits Product guarantees Bill of Lading role Long term relationship building on quality
55 Best Marketing Practices: QA, Audits & Certifications I understand that quality assurance from a wholesale buyer s perspective means the vendor guarantees 100% of the product meets their specifications I understand temperature requirements and safe handling practices for the products I deliver I understand and will agree to buyer temperature protocols, and will meet those guidelines I am willing to receive GAP training and certification if necessary I am willing to have a farm inspection by the buying organization or a specified third party

57 Satisfaction Guarantee 100% Satisfaction Guarantee To ensure satisfaction, regular communication is essential Build trust Credit is typically given for off-grade or spoiled produce Many firms reserve right to refuse produce if it does not meet their quality standards
58 Satisfaction Guarantee Business is all about partnership and trust. Tell me upfront if there is a problem. Don t send something off quality to fill an order. You can tell who is out strictly for the dollar versus those that care about your business. Marvin Lyons, Produce Buyer Biggs Supermarkets (now Remke Markets), Milford, Ohio
59 Satisfaction Guarantee I am prepared to stand by my products 100% I have explained how my product will be delivered and packaged, and have heard any concerns they have with my product I am willing to consider production adjustments to improve the final product quality if necessary

61 Marketing Neither chefs or grocers were looking for substantial marketing support, although Nice opportunity to tell farmer stories Local labels much more critical in product buying environments (retail) Marketing support varies depending on the volume. With more volume we expect more support from the vendor. Jamie Postel, Produce Buyer Meijers Grocery Stores, Union City,Ohio
