Ride-Along Consists Of Two Accounts And A Very Long Lunch

Arriving from out of state for a full day of market work with the local sales rep, national sales manager Trent Buhler completed a rigorous ride-along Tuesday consisting of two accounts and a three-hour lunch, sources reported. “You’ve really got to get in the market and see it for yourself,” said Buhler, who saw a wine bar that was closed, a bottle shop where the buyer was not in, and a restaurant with a very good burger. “There’s no substitute for boots on the ground.” Buhler is reportedly preparing a market recap deck describing Portland as “a relationship town.” The rep, Katie Sandoval, confirmed she had eleven accounts scheduled and canceled nine.
