Expo Manger Santé 2023 — olives, kiosks, and discoveries

Tue, 06 Sep 2022 10:00:00 -0400

I recently took part in Expo Manger Santé 2023 at Place des Congrès in Montreal. Event photos were taken by OS7Media (os7mediamatrix@gmail.com) — thank you for the shots used here.

A Successful Sales Endeavor

As a salesman, I am passionate about the rich, savory taste of olives and their health benefits. Over two days, I had the opportunity to share this passion with attendees, which translated into remarkable sales, netting $300. It was not just about the sales, though; it was about the connections made and the stories shared over the love of olives.
