The MarketReady Producer Training Program is for those interested in selling products to restaurants, grocers/wholesalers/retailers, and schools/institutions. MarketReady provides professional marketing education to improve sales relationships and get you up to speed with the latest local food programs and resources. The training is based around best business practices identified by buyers in these markets that are actively seeking to engage local suppliers. The training goes through each key business function and focuses on the specific needs for each respective market. The training includes a buyers panel during a working lunch.
