Ep. 149 - "Fast-Talking Flowers: Meet Belkis Hernandez, Jet Fresh’s Newest Sales Star!"
On this fast-paced episode of 2 Fat Guys Talking Flowers, we welcome the newest member of the Fresh Sales Team, Belkis Hernandez! From being a loyal Fatty Listener to stepping into her new role at Jet Fresh Flowers, Belkis shares her journey from “Assistant to the Assistant” to fast-tracking her way in the flower world. She learned the ropes from one of the pioneers of the Fresh Cut flower industry, with valuable tips like “count the blooms, not the stems”—a lesson every flower salesperson should know.
In this episode, we dive into the high-speed world of mass-market flower sales, and Belkis reveals why she jumped at the chance to join the Jet Fresh Team. Spoiler: Fern was more than ready to bring her on board! We also get a taste of Belkis' passion for flowers (her excitement is contagious!) and talk about all the things that make this industry both fast and fun.
But it wouldn’t be a 2 Fat Guys episode without a little food humor—watch out for Joel’s unique cookie-eating habits, which may just call for a visit from the Fatty Police! True crime against Cookies.
Whether you’re a weekly listener or just tuning in for the first time, this episode is packed with laughs, insights, and a whole lot of flower career talk. Belkis will talk faster than you can pronounce “Roas,” so tune in and try to keep up!
