IFMA’s Go-to-Market Share Group is a benefit exclusive to IFMA’s Tier II and Tier III Manufacturer Members and aims to provide strategic insights and best practices for sales leaders. Members choose share group topics that will arm them with the insights and ideas for how best to go to market.
The program helps foodservice leaders engage in scenario planning and develop go-to-market strategies that address the key challenges sales teams face today. It works to create best-in-class approaches for manufacturer companies to get their products efficiently and effectively to customers and consumers—working with leading sales consultants Kinetic12 to find solutions that work.
