Dave's Markets produce specialist Roberto Bolivar on merchandising, inventory and more

We're delighted to have as our guest for this episode Roberto Bolivar, produce specialist for Dave’s Markets. Roberto’s career has also included tenures with Lucky’s Market, Fresh Thyme, Sprouts and Smith’s. Roberto has also been generous about sharing photos of his work on LinkedIn, not only the beautiful finished displays but some of the behind-the-scenes photos as well, which is awesome for other produce professionals looking to learn different techniques and ideas. In this conversation, Roberto discusses fresh-cut; floral; merchandising with margin in mind; giving team members the information they need to support department goals; memorable customer service; inventory best practices; and much more. Hope you enjoy the discussion as much as we did!  For more episodes featuring marketing and merchandising perspective, check out this curated playlist for plenty of thought-provoking discussion.  More Playlists Executive Perspective Leadership & Training Produce Manager Perspective Podcast Background This podcast is designed to cover all things produce retail: strategy, partnerships, planning, training, leadership, communication, merchandising and beyond.
