Episode 99: Rapid Fire Q&A: Slow Sales, Imposter Syndrome, Buyer Pitches, MOQ, Category Reviews, & more!

We’re back with another rapid-fire Q&A episode as we wrap up season eight of the Food Biz Wiz podcast!

In today’s show, I’m answering:

• If I missed the retailer's category review schedule, do I really have to wait until next year?

• How can I stop comparing myself to other food founders I see on social media?

• Should I lower my price if my product isn’t selling well?

• How soon should I email the buyer back after I drop off samples if I haven't heard anything?

• How do I gain confidence in pitching?

• If my product isn't selling in a particular store, what should I do?

• What should my minimum order quantity be?

 For more in-depth answers, I recommend checking out the past two Food Biz Wiz podcast episodes:

• Episode 98: Creating a High-End Culinary Brand with Chef Evelyn

• Episode 67: Slow Sales: What to Do When You DON'T Have High Velocity

I can’t wait to see you right back here next week, for our 100th episode of the Food Biz Wiz podcast!

In this celebratory episode, we’ll cover 100 different NO’s that you’ll receive from a Buyer as you pitch your products, and strategies on how to turn that into a YES. See you back here next week!
