While living in New England, John was a Seafood Specialist for a local retailer responsible for Seafood Departments in that chain and was responsible for training, teaching and case presentation skills development; he also had most recently been selling seafood to retailers and distributors. 

Beyond the Sea works closely with end users and producers, develops promotional programs that help move the products from the shelf and display cases into the consumers’ homes. This could take the form of price specials, ads, in-store demos, and other programs that are beneficial to you and your customers that we fine-tune and implement together with you.
