STRONG, PROFITABLE M.I. BRANDS
About us
Nick Barbieri grew up in St. Louis, MO. He started playing drums at age 11, and as the joke goes, he has been hanging around musicians ever since. Nick graduated from De Smet Jesuit High School, and St. Louis University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, with a major in Marketing. He moved to Florida and started his own business, making hand made potato chips which were sold throughout Florida. Nick and his wife Beth, also a SLU graduate, sold the business and returned to St. Louis in 1995, when Nick started his career with St. Louis Music. He started in inside sales and customer service, selling accessories for many different regions of the country. Sales went up in every region he was assigned, and he also had overall sales increases every year. From Chuck Phillips he learned how to service with a smile, from Stan Morgan how to build relationships and be a professional, and from Gene Kornblum how to study, ask questions, and treat all customers with dignity.
In 2000 Nick and his family moved to Minnesota, when Nick was named Regional Sales Manager for St. Louis Music in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota. Again, sales increased every year. Nick has achieved success by never putting short term results ahead of the long term best interests of his customers and the companies he represents. He remained with the company until May 2007, when he started Bedrock Brands. He hopes you will give him a chance to earn your business. Nick, Beth, and their three sons lived in Woodbury, MN for 8 years, and will be moving to Crystal Lake, IL in July 2008.
