I grew up in family owned and operated ski/outdoor/bike/patio retail stores, based in the Wisconsin, the first of which opened in 1971. After graduating from college with BA in Marketing from Fort Lewis College, in Durango, CO, I was hired on with Rossignol Ski Company as a Sales Associate in the Midwest Territory. I worked for Rossignol thru four seasons, when I was hired by Salomon Sports into the Race / Promotions Department, and relocated to Georgetown, MA. In the late nineties, I had an opportunity to form my own Independent Sales Agency in Minneapolis, taking over the venerable Olin Ski Brand, and the rest they say is history. I took over the Olin business and added Select Sport Bags and Kombi Gloves, the latter two I still represent to this day. Over the span of an over 20yr history on the independent side of this business, in addition to a wide range of category sales experience, I have also gained experience in Sales Management, brand marketing work, product development and logistics/distribution. Currently, my agency employs, including myself, three Full-Time Associates and two Part-Time Seasonal employees, and over the 20yr history, my team and I have been recognized multiple times for sales performance, with accolades from the brands we represent to honors from the trade. When not working, I love the water, mtn-biking, hiking and chasing my daughter from ski race to ski race.
Wenda Danduran, Everything Else
Not only has she worked for many years within the business, but also her time spent as a buyer/owner in a small chain of local Minneapolis metro ski/bike shops put her in a position to know, not only the retail side of the business, but also the buying side of the business. Certainly, experiences that allow her the ability to tailor the level of service and the type of sales pitch for each of the different buyers/managers/owners that are out there in the retail landscape. And as stated above, the ability to be an immediate asset to all facets of my business and the ability to focus on driving the existing and new parts of our business!
