PhillyFlowerGirl Intro

[PhillyFlowerGirl]

I have been in the industry since 2006, providing products and services to florists through FTD, Inc.

I hope to gain any insight into this unique and intriguing industry that I might not learn from my florists first-hand.

I feel I can contribute a fresh perspective from someone who has most of their education in sales and marketing. There are alot of changes coming from FTD, so be the voice of a company that I am finally proud to represent will be exciting for me!

I work out of my house in Philadelpha, PA, and work with the talented florists in Philadelphia, Lancaster, Harrisburg, York, Williamsport, and Scranton.

In other words, are you an FTD rep based in PA?

Hi and thank you for your interest in the community.

There are other members from the world of wire services. I do believe they are required to tow the company line.

That being said, if you make it through, you must be equipped with thick skin because there are many many threads (not a love fest), built around wire services. Towing the company line, while an asset for the company, isn't so much appreciated by those who pay the fees.

Have you ever worked anywhere else in the industry besides FTD?

I echo what Victoria said, and if you get in here or not, Good Luck.

Welcome! You'll find that FTD is frequently discussed here. Other wire services are also. Hang on to your hat!

Wow! An FTD rep - are you nuts.... these people on this board will tar and feather ya!

Whatever you do - don't even think of using a red dot - lol.

Welcome - nice to hear from another Philly area girl, but no I don't want to be FTD - LOL!

Welcome to Fc from South Fla...I have heard three times this week from different depts that a great new change is coming from FTD so hopefully you will be able to share that with us when they tell you to. Glad to have you aboard...just be careful what company line you bring..we have for the most part , heard all of it from all the WS's so we are somewhat jaded....lol
