Why use a Broker?
A good foodservice broker often represents the most cost efficient method of getting sales and distribution for a company. Employing a company representative or account manager represents a fixed cost of a salaried salesperson; with things such as superannuation, car, mobile phones, laptop, travel expenses and other additional costs that can add up to 40% over and above the salaried component.
A Foodservice Broker is a variable cost, remunerated directly as a percentage of the net revenue generated. If sales go up (or down) the cost of generating the sales remains a constant percentage of the revenue. This means the broker is heavily incentivised in ensuring your sales are growing.
