Jarrod also discusses the Super Bowl with Tim Gossett, Vice President of Sales for Anheuser-Busch. Tim handles the Walmart/Sam’s Club account and talks about this peak sales time for beer products.

Tim will be featured on the Focus on Suppliers Super Bowl TV broadcast Saturday, February 4 on KNWA-NBC.
Plus, do you have a mentor? Are you a mentor?
