Objection Handling Guide

Common objections and recommended responses.

"Your prices are higher than my current supplier."

Compare total cost: product + freight + waste + admin. GFS customers save 12-18% on total landed cost despite marginally higher per-pound pricing.

"We already have a cheese supplier we're happy with."

We don't need to replace them. Start with a single SKU or secondary supply position. Let our service quality speak for itself over 90 days.

"We need faster delivery than 48 hours."

Same-day delivery available for Northeast customers. For other regions, we offer inventory positioning at regional cross-docks for next-day service.

"Your company is too small."

Our size is our advantage: faster decisions, dedicated attention, flexible terms. 500+ customers trust us with $10M+ annually.

164 Annual Shareholder Letter Executive

Annual Shareholder Letter

FY2025 letter from CEO to shareholders.

To Our Shareholders,

FY2025 was a defining year for Global Food Solutions. We grew revenue 34% to $10.2M, expanded our customer base to 500+, and achieved 365 consecutive days with zero food safety incidents. Our 99.7% on-temperature delivery rate set a new company record.

We invested in technology -- launching our automated pricing engine, expanding IoT cold chain monitoring, and beginning WMS implementation. These investments position GFS to scale efficiently as we target $12M in FY2026.

Looking ahead, we see tremendous opportunity in geographic expansion, USDA commodity programs, and technology-driven differentiation. The US food distribution market remains highly fragmented, and GFS is uniquely positioned to capture share through specialization and innovation.
