Schwan's retail products include Red Baron, Freschetta and Tony's pizza, Mrs. Smith Pies Asian Sensations and others I don't remember off hand. They also have an OTR division that delivers from the suppliers to the individual depots. (That's probably what you're recruiting for Sheepdancer)
Find out which Division you're looking at. http://www.theschwanfoodcompany.com/about.cfm Reb

It is pretty much a straight commission job, and if you have good sales skills you can do very well.
And the products are excellent (but some a bit pricey) I dont find them pricey at all. For the quality and amount of food you get, plus its delivered to your door, I think its very cheap.

Driving isn't the problem..Filling orders that amount to $$ is the key. I wouldn't drive around knocking on doors..But AMWAY always planted a " bug pack" to get back in the door and close the sale. Because it's the old rule of reciprocity in sales. Who doesn't like to eat?
