Seth Kaffka dives into the (admittedly unsexy) topic of selling commodities, and brings more enthusiasm than some people take to a professional sporting event. He shares the story of what started in 2006 as Blackhive Corp buying and selling a truckload of sugar packets, that eventually grew into a diversified portfolio of activities that spans from canned asparagus to branding some of the most innovative new products going on the shelves of top tier retailers.
Seth and his team bring an opportunistic approach to business, especially in sales, with a level of customer care that keeps clients returning. You can learn more about their four organizations under one roof below, or reach out to Seth at seth.kaffka@blacksailscapital.com
