Thanks again for your great contributions to our private label, food safety and signature products programs for Super Target. There is still much to accomplish and PERSPECTIVES™ continues to add speed and value to the process.

Greg Steinhafel
Chairman/CEO
TARGET

Thanks Ed! We opened a new Neighborhood Market here in the Bentonville area and it had the new meal solutions deli PERSPECTIVES developed! Everyone loved it! Thank you and your team so much for all your help. Your team helped make this a big success!

Pam Kohn
Senior Vice President
WALMART

Thanks to you. We had a great tasting today and products were very well received. People were thrilled with product quality. Very exciting. Great work from you and the PERSPECTIVES team in helping us to create great tasting HMR items at great prices. Great job! Thanks again.

David Hall
Vice President, Division Manager
WALMART

PERSPECTIVES provided us with a complete blueprint on the best ways to renovate our menu to bring our A&W Restaurant division's products to the very top of the quality rung in the segment which we compete. We introduced this menu into our system with spectacular results.

What most impressed me about the PERSPECTIVES team was their ability to quickly grasp what our brand was truly all about, and then to deliver a compelling execution in the new design. The new (store) re-images with the new PERSPECTIVES look goes a long way towards driving sales. Next, is the new music and new uniforms, plus a lot of work with the menu. And just as important, I personally enjoyed working closely with Joan and Ed. We’re just getting started. Thanks.

PERSPECTIVES is the consulting group all others are striving to be... a complete Partner in your business. Their knowledge of the foodservice business is endless and it's this knowledge that allows them to become your partner in making the difficult decisions and implementing those decisions... whether strategic or tactical.

Dennis Tase
President
GALARDI GROUP

PERSPECTIVES provided insights into our bakery-deli product offering, merchandising and presentation from a FRESH point of view. As a result of our “brainstorming efforts” with PERSPECTIVES, we made subtle changes in our stores that resulted in maximum positive customer sales response. What was obvious to PERSPECTIVES was not to us!

Robert E. Rich, Jr.

RICH PRODUCTS CORP.

PERSPECTIVES is my first choice when it comes to the development and research of new and exciting menu items. When I was with Hardee's and Arby's, their ideas helped us increase sales and boost customer traffic. Working with these "Food Gurus" is a real pleasure.

PERSPECTIVES enhances every phase of the business, from new concept development to operational rejuvination. Their passion and professionalism comes through in their depth of knowledge, their creativity, and most importantly in the results they deliver.

We are thrilled with the work PERSPECTIVES is doing for us, but more importantly, we love the partnership and fellowship we share—you are great folks. I look forward to more creations and success with new products.

PERSPECTIVES is clearly the leader in fresh food concepts for both Foodservice & Retail. They have earned these positions in our industry by successfully working with the Who's Who in food for over 30 years. They are generous with their time and knowledge. Most importantly they know how to get the "Big Perspective" and then quickly "drill down" to the project at hand and produce excellent results.

READY PAC PRODUCE

Wally and I were just saying how you do everything with such a great deal of excellence.

Kathy Arnold

PERSPECTIVES is not only a company that helps their clients identify opportunities, they actually create them. Because of their national exposure working with every facet of Foodservice, they are able to blend retail, wholesale and manufacturing concepts to uncover hidden opportunities. Great people make great teams. Keep it up.

Keith R. Carpenter
President
WOOD STONE CORPORATION

I have worked with the PERSPECTIVES Team while at two different companies—in both the Director or Foodservice and Director of Operations capacities—and have been amazed at their ability to zero in on the client's need and provide tangible, proactive solutions. To say that PERSPECTIVES is ‘real world' doesn't really tell the story—their unique combination of hard data, experience and awareness of how the “sexy stuff” filters down to the operations level is what separates them from other consulting organizations. In short order, the PERSPECTIVES team assesses an issue, asks tough (sometimes uncomfortable?) questions about what the goals really are, and then delivers ‘smart bomb' results!

Christopher Adams
Partner
NICK'S PIZZA & PUB

Thank you Joan and Ed… We are very fortunate to be in business in these challenging economic times and to actually be making money. Thanks to your guidance we got off on the right foot. I'm so appreciative for what we have created together and to be able to make so many people happy with our famous pizza.

Mike Monteleone
Owner
BARONE'S PIZZARIA EXPRESS

PERSPECTIVES is the kind of partner that makes an ad agency's life a lot easier. The depth of their knowledge of the category and ability to not only conduct meaningful research but from that research provide important insights, has proven to be invaluable. The success we've had with our food clients would not have been possible without them. Absolutely the best we work with.

Mike Dean
CEO
BRAND THIRTY-THREE

PERSPECTIVES has helped us transition from a "mom & pop operating style" to a "chain" orientation. They have challenged us to excel in all areas. PERSPECTIVES continues to help us meet the long term challenges of the marketplace as we redirect our company.

As an international colleague established in another part of the world, Scandinavia, and also working internationally, we have never met such a professional consulting company within the food industry. It is a privilege to be able to cooperate with PERSPECTIVES, especially with our European clients. We have several business cases and examples of successful support from PERSPECTIVES to customers of ours.

Your thoughts on Target were a great “take away” from the meeting. You are honest, direct and transparent. We need more of that in these times of uncertainty... take a stand for our beliefs and research and speak to them. Your expertise can pierce the marketing efforts that are being done without substance, execution, or traction. In this maturing world of retail in the United States, we need the experts, like yourself, to speak up and help guide us to the future.

Stephen Eggert

You and Joan are great at what you do and I really appreciate the ethical part of your business principles. They are believable and both of you reflect these principles.
