Meet Vicki with Rep Support
We would like you to meet Vicki from Rep support, one of the important reasons that our company moves along smoothly from day to day. Vicki has been with Alison’s Pantry for two years, she began as a Rep in SLC and when the job opening came up at the warehouse, she decided to give it a try. One of the reasons she is so good at what she does is because she understands how it all works from the perspective of the AP Rep. The thing she loves about her job is getting to know and work with all the Reps. She also is the person responsible for the majority of the social media posts.
The hardest thing about her job is keeping track of almost 400 reps. she makes a lot of notes and reminders.
Vicki is married to her husband of 5 years; they have a combined family of 4 boys from Vicki’s previous marriage and 1 daughter from her husband’s previous marriage. The two older boys and the daughter are married and together they have 3 grandchildren. The third son is currently serving an LDS mission in Texas and the youngest son, just graduated from high school.
Vicki loves to travel in her spare time and she writes a personal weekly travel and food blog at www.lovetravelwilleat.com.She loves to cook and try new recipes.
Vicki loves many of our AP products, but her favorites are #9134 Janey Lou’s cinnamon rolls, #8925 Beehive Rolls and #3298 Daily’s Center cut Bacon. Her family’s favorite family meal is the Soup Supreme or Blount soups served in the Janey Lou’s soup bowls. Thank you Vicki for all your hard work!
What’s For Dinner?
If you are like me, there are days where the family is asking “What’s for dinner?” and I am clueless as to what I’m going to fix! But have no fear! Alison’s Pantry is here!!
We have such great products to meet the needs of every meal of the day and snacks in between but sometimes we need a little help to get that meal on the table and what better way than suggested meal plans!
Here is one with dinner meal ideas from the RSM’s, Rep Support, and our Marketing Director to get you started.
week-of-meals (.pdf of the above week of meals you can share with your customers)
Sit down today, write down a week’s worth of meals (breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner), list the AP products you used to prepare the meal, and then share them with your customers. It’s that easy!! Including pictures of what you fixed for dinner to go along with your meal plans (or a quick post on Facebook) will really sell those products! Your customers will love seeing how you use the amazing products we sell and they will want to try them too!
Good luck!!
Becky Price, RSM
