About Sarah
A veteran of the internal online systems and product distribution industry, Sarah E. Scudder has acquired 15 major national multi-unit accounts that bring in more than $100 million in annual sales. She has been the top salesperson at her company for four consecutive years, doing over $4.5 million in sales in 2009. Scudder works with corporate executive teams – CEOs, VPs of Marketing and VPs of Supply Chain – to design, develop and implement GPnet systems. Scudder helps companies to identify how much money they are losing each year due to inefficient use of corporate resources. These costs are mostly for order processing, vendor management and franchisee/location support. Scudder ensures that each GPnet system a) gives a marketing team 20 more working hours each month, b) ensures a 95% brand compliance, and c) saves each client $50,000 minimum each year.
Scudder’s primary expertise lies in the restaurant industry. She works with restaurants to develop turn-around strategies; focus on brand development; conduct strategic planning; evaluate and improve marketing pieces; create grand opening events; B2C and B2B kits; streamline communication and increase efficiencies in support material distribution. Highlighted work includes the development of a GPnet system for Black Bear Diners, Inc. in which their system saves the corporate team over $150,000 a year and increases their franchisees profitability by 5% per location. Scudder’s development of a GPnet system for Red Mango, Inc. allowed franchisees to order materials, greatly increasing the level of local store marketing and grand opening promotional activity. Adding several enhancement to their system this year will result in record response rates, comp sales and new store opening volumes.
“I firmly believe that having a branded internal online ordering, communication and document management system is essential to a multi-unit company’s ability to streamline ordering and distribution, allowing the corporate team to focus on growth, development and profit-increasing activities. It is my job to create a GPnet system that makes a company more profitable,” Scudder maintains.
