88. Foodservice 201: Building a Business in Foodservice.

Foodservice is an amazing channel for food and beverage products, but can be incredibly challenging to break into.

I sit down with my friend Matt Cotton, founder of Rooted Food Sales, who helps CPG brands sell into and succeed in Foodservice channels.

We discuss:

  • How to get into your first corporate office
  • The difference between a distributor and an operator
  • What are the job titles to reach out to
  • How to expand once you have a foothold
