You’re going to love it when you get to be a fly on the wall on how NOT to scale your food and drink product business as you listen to this episode.
I’m sharing with you my conversation with a foodpreneur who got their products on the shelves of a major grocery chain, twice, and they failed, twice!!!
So, guess why I think that’s good for you? Because you can avoid all the things that foodpreneur did and save yourself lots of time and money!
In this episode you’ll learn:
- What commercial targets you need to hit for the majors to keep your product on their shelves;
- The reason why products fail even once they have landed on the shelf and gone through the buyer selection process; and
- Why the major grocery chains are not suitable for many speciality food and drink brands; and
- Why it’s a massive misconception brand owners make to think they should get on the shelves of the majors.
I’m very grateful to James Madden from Flinders + Co for being so frank. It’s refreshing and you’ll learn a lot.
