Today we’d like to introduce you to Jimi Santoli.
Hi Jimi, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started out in the flower business in 1988 right out of high school not knowing that thirty-seven years later I would still be vested heavily in the business. My friends would make fun of me being in the flower business and one day — playing on the Italian Brooklyn angle — I came up with the name ‘Jimi the Tulip’ LOL. I worked in retail and events for about twenty years. Then, I decided I needed a change. So I took my knowledge of the industry and began a road in sales.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The flower industry is ever changing. Ihave been fortunate enough to have worked in all aspects of the industry and with some great and knowledgable colleagues who have taught me well
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
As a wholesale floral account manager both at Jet Fresh Flower Distributors and Jet Fresh Flower Growers, my roles are diverse. However, essentially, I deal with retail flower customers helping them acquire the best flowers for their business from the wide assortment that the company works with supplies.
Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
I was always a class clown. Inquisitive always asking questions and exploring
