Up-Close Profile – Supplier: Anna Andert

1. Tell us about your business and your current job.

Northfield Lines offers premium motor coach, mini-coach, corporate shuttles and daily route service in Minnesota and beyond. With a large, modern and diversified fleet, we can tackle any transportation needs customers have. From small gatherings to large conventions, we specialize in transportation solutions.

I am currently part of a highly experienced sales team and I also lead the marketing for the company. I am so fortunate to be in an industry that I grew up in and to work alongside people with similar experience. We have so much fun together doing what we know and love!

2. What do you hope to gain from your MPI Membership?

Knowledge, exposure and becoming a valuable partner.

3. If there was only one thing a potential customer could remember about your company, what would that be? Really? Just one? That’s a tough one, considering that both customer satisfaction and passenger safety are the foundation of Northfield Lines.  I guess you could bundle them both and say, “Complete Customer Satisfaction”.  Each and every one of us at Northfield Lines is committed to ensuring that your travel experience is very positive.  From your first contact with us to your drop-off at your final destination, everything we do is geared toward providing you with safe, enjoyable, worry-free travel!

4. What one piece of advice would you give to a new supplier joining the MPI network?

Join!  I am completely new to MPI and I am excited!

5. What has been the best piece of advice you have been given, and how has it made a difference in your life - personally or professionally?  “Follow your passion and stay true to yourself -- never follow someone else’s path unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path, then by all means you should follow that.”  Humor is the spice of life.  I couldn’t go through life without humor- both personally and professionally!

6. What are some of your favorite pastime activities?

Anything that involves spending time with my family, I love to draw and paint, and I am a huge amusement park junkie.
