Our Company

Mountain Sales Northwest (MSNW) is an independent, family-owned business founded by Linda Stevenson in 1987. Linda's interest in natural/organic products was driven by her desire to provide her family (five children under the age of 15) with the foundation for a healthy lifestyle. In the beginning she was juggling the demands of both family and new business. Often, her initial confidence in products that MSNW represented was the result of using and validating the products at home.  It worked! Customers responded to Linda's enthusiasm for products when they realized she didn't just sell them - she used them.

 

Today, Linda is still leading MSNW and her family continues to use most of the products that MSNW represents.  However, much has changed - the family has not only grown up, but some have joined the business.  Just as important, others have joined the MSNW team who share the same passion for selling products that they use as part of their lifestyle.   The result is a 'business family' that excels at providing professional sales and marketing services for product manufacturers..

Ours is a people business and we are proud to introduce our winning team. We are fortunate to have a staff of veterans that have worked in this industry segment for years and that understand the business. Building relationships, selling, product placement, education, and retailer support are at the core of our professional DNA. We love what we do ... and we are very good at it.
