Join me in conversation with Daniel Morrison, the Director of Distributor Relations at Green Spoon Sales, as we spill the dirt on working with brokers & distributors to grow your packaged food or beverage business.
In today’s episode, we’ll cover:
How, when and why you’d bring on a distributor for your brand
How you work with a broker to get your product on the retail shelf
How that delicate broker/distributor relationship works, and how you can leverage it for more sales
Which distributor programs, vehicles, and strategies are available to help ensure success for earlier stage brands
Plus we get into finding the RIGHT broker for your brand, the most common things that brands do incorrectly as they start working with brokers and distributors, and more.
