Proven Strategies To Grow Sales And Profits For Your Natural Food Brand

COURSE REGISTRATION INCLUDES A FREE 30-MINUTE CONSULT!

In This Masterclass

YOU WILL LEARN

1. How to not become a statistic - why most brands fail!

Over 80% of natural brands fail within the first year. This is largely due to faulty brand positioning. Learn strategies to help you get your product onto more store shelves and into the hands of more shoppers

2. The importance of a solid brand strategy (foundation) before you launch - before your next sale

Hint: A solid brand strategy, or go-to-market strategy, is critical to your success. You will never hit a target you don’t aim for. This can determine how long your brand will be around, 6 months, a year, a decade or longer. It costs a lot more to do things wrong and correct them later. Learn strategies others overlook that can give you a significant and sustainable competitive advantage

3. How a compelling brand story drives sustainable sales and profits, one that resonates with shoppers and retailers

Stories that connect and resonate with us leave a lasting impression. They paint a picture in our minds. This is how you ensure your brand is memorable. Your brand story needs to be told consistently with the same passion, enthusiasm, and authenticity as originally told by the founder. This is how you convert occasional customers into loyal evangelists

4. Why being a leader in your category can explode your sales growth

Hint: most brands fail due to poor execution. Flawless execution is the fastest path to sales success. Learn strategies other brands overlook

I HAVE A SPECIAL SURPRISE FOR YOU!

Because giving back to our community

and helping healthy brands succeed is so important to me,

I have decided to offer this

Turnkey Sales Story Strategies course

at no charge.

($297.00 value)

IT'S MY FREE GIFT TO YOU!


WHY THIS MATTERS

“There is no specific training in the natural industry
that addresses the common challenges most brands face,
including at any of the business schools, seminars, incubators or accelerators.”


“While there are many well-meaning individuals with advice, the sad truth is
more than 80% of start-up brands in our industry fail within their first year.”


I am committed to changing this.

Shoppers can’t buy your products if they cannot find them. The focus of this, and all my content, is to help you get your products onto more retailers shelves and into the hands of more shoppers - empowering brands and raising the bar.

We’ve all heard the expression that a picture is worth a 1000 words. Pictures and stories that resonate with us leave a lasting impression far more impactful than facts and figures. This is the primary element in building trust with shoppers.

Most shoppers search first for their favorite brand. The first impression that consumers have of your brand is on a retailer's shelf. You put a lot of energy into branding your packaging - you want it to stand out on a crowded shelf. Your on-shelf brand messaging needs to be consistent across every store. Poor product placement and merchandising are the biggest mistakes most brands make.

Shoppers literally have unlimited choices when it comes to where they spend their hard-earned money. Every retailer, both traditional and online, are fighting for every shoppers attention. Online retailers have a significant competitive advantage in that they can be more flexible with pricing and promotion compared to their traditional retail competitors. In addition, online retailers have a much greater opportunity to educate shoppers about the products they sell.

Traditional brick and mortar retailers need to work hard to level the playing field if they want to succeed. The best way to do this is to partner with the brands they sell. The most effective strategy for every retailer is to develop strategies that encourages your unique consumer to shop their store. This is where you come in and why this course is so important.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS FREE COURSE?


HERE IS WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE

AND WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

In this self-paced course, you will receive access to several informative podcasts with top industry leaders, CEOs and founders of successful brands who candidly share insider secrets in addition to the following five easy to follow video lesson modules:

MODULE 1 - KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Learn what retailers REALLY want.

Savvy retailers already know how your brand is performing on their shelves. Unfortunately, relying on canned topline reports is simply not enough to land shelf space. You will learn how to craft a compelling fact-based selling story from actual insights that resonate with retailers and shoppers.

Learn what the big brands know.

Let’s face it, if you want to play at the level of the big brands, you need to BE at their level. The easiest way to level the playing field is by providing actionable insights to retailers that they do not have access to and that other brands are not providing.

MODULE 2 - STORY TELLING SECRETS

Few brands communicate with the same passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge of the founder when they speak with retailers and consumers. Your selling story extends beyond the four corners of your package. The selling process never stops.

Learn how to craft a powerful selling story that captures the authentic appreciation your customers share with their communities and speak in one unified voice consistently to amplify your brands selling story. You will also learn how to present a compelling sales story for your brand to retailers, brokers, distributors or investors.

MODULE 3 - MERCHANDISING RECOMMENDATIONS

Stand out on a crowded shelf. Learn the success strategies and action steps required to get preferential merchandising.

Ensure that shoppers can easily find your products wherever they shop. Being found is critical to your success. Shoppers can’t buy your products if they can’t find them. Learn how to help retailers drive more shoppers to their shelves leveraging the strengths of your brand.

Give shoppers what they want. Learn how to help retailers improve the shopper’s journey and convert casual customers into loyal evangelists.

MODULE 4 - EFFECTIVE PROMOTIONS

Most promotional spending is wasted doing little to grow predictable sales. Are you tired of feeling like an ATM machine? There is a better way. Learn how to maximize your trade spending, grow sales, get your products onto more retailer’s shelves and into the hands of more shoppers.

Building a brand is very capital intensive. You will learn how to get more runway out of your resources and establish your brand as a category leader, opening the door to incremental promotional and merchandising opportunities.

MODULE 5 - CONNECTING THE DOTS

Armed with this knowledge, you will gain a significant competitive advantage and learn how to become a value-added partner with retailers.
