Turning Meat Suppliers Into Category Leaders

“We started working with Epic Sales Partners five years ago after several failed attempts at finding a good food sales agent. We were struggling to get the attention of larger retailers and lacked insight into the demands of stores across multiple locations. Epic was able to immediately get our products in front of decision-makers and advise us on how to tailor our offerings across the region to meet customer demands for fresh meats.”
