To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter as my personal recommendation for Mike Alahverdian. I h
ave worked closely with Mike for the past three years, as he has been my main di
stributor point of contact in the state of Rhode Island. In this time, I have
found Mike to be an extremely hard working and dedicated professional who will a
lways go the extra mile to make sure that a job is done right. I have observed
Mike to be very well respected and highly thought of by both his team of sales
persons and his peers. This respect comes, in part, from Mike's tireless effo
rts to grow business in his territory while building and maintaining relationshi
ps at store level.
My position as Business Development Manager for Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream has aff
orded me many opportunities to work directly with Mike on different projects, su
ch as special store level promotions, category management and follow up on sales
leads. Mike is always well prepared and knowledgeable about our brands and o
ur services and I believe that this comes through to customers and potential cus
tomers. It has been a pleasure working with Mike over this time. I have lea
rned much about the world of DSD through my close working relationship with Mike
and I know others have as well.
I am confident that Mike possesses a great many traits that a successful company
would look for in a new hire and I believe that he would make an outstanding ad
dition to any organization. I will be sorry to lose him in Rhode Island, for
sure.
Please feel free to contact me at the number below if you have any questions reg
arding my experience working with Mike.
Regards,

Pete Riendeau
