Victor’s Pride: October 2021
Revenue Management
Appreciation Week
October 18-23 is Revenue Management Appreciation Week. This department has exemplified our core value TEAMWORK, among many others. This team is constantly navigating change: whether they are adding new items, modifying existing items, or bringing on new chain-specific pricing, they do so with open communication and pride. Each day offers something different to this team and their resilience is worth celebrating! Thanks for remaining flexible through that all the last year has brought.
“The Revenue Management Team continues to improve how we manage our Supplier Partner’s New Item and Pricing/Costing change requests along with handling the communication of our product pricing to the Heidelberg Sales Team and our growing list of Chain Customers.
With 2021’s company growth this team handled increasing requests more accurately and efficiently than ever. They live the Core Values in support of each other, our Supplier Partners, Customers, and Internal Sales and Supply Chain.
As 2022 approaches they continue to set targets for even further improvement. Go Revenue Management Team!”
–Shawn Palmatier, VP Revenue Management
“I continue to be impressed with the way the Revenue Management Team has worked to together manage all the different aspects of pricing and costing that touch most all of our associates in one way or another, as well as our many supplier partners and external customers.
Our team has worked through day to day responsibilities and unexpected challenges equally well. They are well placed to take on whatever 2022 presents.”
–Tom McNally, Director of Pricing & Costing
