What Danna does

Customers prefer a live desk that acts like the ‘string around their finger’, calls them on their schedule, calls back when they’re too busy, and won’t let them miss the cut-off.

  • Calls on customer’s schedule / recalls on request — always on 24/7/365
  • Knows customer, item, price, and delivery schedule
  • Takes the order in natural conversation — English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Greek
  • Confirms orally and by text
  • Finishes with no-stock/sub, missing regulars, A/R, and one new item
  • Discusses growth rebate - tracks in real time, nudges to maximize.
  • Schedules sales talk - Danna asks for opportunities to discuss lowering food cost, and remembers the answers and outcomes.

Blueprint math

House sales: $100,000,000

After-Tax Net Income (TTM): $895,000

House accounts (owner/purchasing): 15% = $15,000,000 — stay with ownership; not in the SalesBench fee base

Street book: 85% = $85,000,000

Outside DSRs: 18 (9 leave, bottom half)

CSRs: 5 (4 leave; 1 Bench Coordinator @ +10%)

Dollar trail

  1. Fully loaded cost — the half of DSRs who go $140,000 × 9 = $1,260,000
  2. Fully loaded cost — CSRs coming off $70,000 × 4 − $7,000 = $273,000 net of Bench Coordinator +10% raise
  3. Total loaded cost coming off $1,533,000
  4. ACE pool — 80% of CSR savings only 80% of $273,000 = $218,400 Performance pool for the remaining ACES — paid out for real gains in item mix, GP$ per delivery, gross margin, and new accounts. Aim: the whole pool pays out for a job well done, so your DSRs are the highest paid among competing distributors.
  5. Bottom-line gain $889,600 Net of SalesBench fee and ACE pool @ 100% paid
  6. After-Tax Net Income gain 2.0× based on $895,000 TTM ATNI

Growth Strategy

SalesBench fully executes your top-line growth strategy.

Growth Strategy

The Case for Danna

Broken promise: Our competitors promise their order agents will free DSRs from keying and provide them tools and insights, the found-time theoretically transforming underperformers into ACES who finally sell — it’s fiction.

In practice, all our competitors accomplish is to add a shiny new cost center with minimal sales gain and no lift in who actually sells.

SalesBench alone offers cutting-edge AI, purpose-built to fully replace underperformers and deliver ACE results, while your ACES keep ACING.

Growth rebate

Same doors, bigger orders.

  • Danna conducts sales calls like an ACE — probing mix, driving follow-through, and closing the gap.
  • The growth rebate is not just ‘maybe-numbers’ on a page — it’s an ongoing sales dialogue Danna brings to life with every account on the book.
  • She tracks progress in real time, nudges to maximize, and schedules sales follow-ups distinct from ordering.
  • Lands on every book that moves at cutover, so consolidation has more reasons to stick.
  • Pays for loyalty and growth.
  • Pays on gross sales and mix improvement.
  • SalesBench runs your growth program, or builds and runs one for you.

New customer acquisition

Target new doors

  • SalesBench executes a one-of-a-kind, battle-tested, and proven new customer acquisition program.
  • SalesBench lands the new customers your underperformers wouldn’t — at a tiny fraction of the cost.
  • SalesBench markets via multiple targeted postcard mailings amplified by email and social.
  • SalesBench delivers 2-4% response rate via irresistable offer and multi-touch campaign.
  • SalesBench wins market share like an ACE. Learn more
