Moving on up

Posted on June 10, 2008 at 3:46pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

After a nice discussion with my boss, I will be moving into the role of sales and marketing manager of our company. The last year has seen tremendous growth and the current sales manager is also our portfolio director and doesn't have time for both. That means I will where 2 hats. Sales manager and Rep. I just hope we can continue this growth trend.

We have been open just under a month now and the reaction to food, wine, and service has been very positive. We are slowly carving our niche here. We've had people come in to give us a chance that only came once or twice before under the old owners and quit coming because of their previous experiences. They will be back again now which is always a good sign.

We finally had a good weekend. Business is definitely picking up and we still have not advertised yet. If the weather would co-operate a little more we will pick up even more.

We also had one of the higher ups from Ultimate Distributors come in and bring the owners of Watershed in with her. People are taking notice… Continue

The first full week is now behind us. I finally had a day off and made great use of it by sleeping. Sales have been good considering we have battled the weather and spring break. Hopefull we will turn the corner this week. We have gotten rave reviews on the food, service and wine by all the guests we have had. Less than 5 complaints on food on the 700 people we served the past week. Things are definitely looking up. We are also expecting an AJC review this week which will be published the… Continue

Waiting

It is 2:40 in the morning and I am waiting on my porter to finish up. This guy cleans all my floors and actually cleans my kitchen. I haven't seen one of these since I lived in New York. Nice to have someone here who takes care of so many of the small details.

I drove by just yesterday. Congrats on the new opening. I wanted to know if you would be interested in working with the Delta Skymiles program to get more exposure. They are our partner and we recommend locations to the members. It's a great traffic driving program with a bit more of an affluent base of people. Let me know if you would like to chat further.

Thanks,

Alicia
