WHOLESALE STRATEGY
Do you want to get your product stocked in the best Retail stores and be confident approaching buyers?
Well guess what??? Wouldn't you just know it I have something that can help with that 🤯!!
If you are a product based business or brand and want help on trying to figure out how to wholesale your range?
Wouldn't it be great if you could grow and manage your Wholesale Sales without the stress?
If you want to get your product stocked in the best Retail stores and be confident approaching buyers then read on.
If you want to know what to send buyers in an email (or snail mail) or even how to set up your catalogue or order form?
If you want to be confident your pricing is accurate and you are offering stores the right margins (whilst you are still making enough $ at the same time) then this could be the solution for you.
If you are looking for confidence in how you approach buyers and know you are giving them all the right information so they can place orders quickly and easily then this program could be very helpful indeed!
.
If you are trying to fully understand what expectations the buyers have then you might want to hear directly from the retailers themselves..
Sick of trying to figure everything out on your own?
These are just some of the things you need to think about when you are running your own brand.
With trade shows down for the count again (another covid victim) there is even more importance of getting your wholesale strategy sorted.
Buyers are building up for a potentially big retail season after being hit hard by store closures and lockdowns.
They need to hear from you, not for that hard sale but they need your help to discover you.
They are keen to see new ranges, new brands and want to know you are prepared and can answer their pressing queries (you know about minimums, t and c's , reorders, deposits etc….)
Is you head spinning with what to do first?
And you just want someone who has industry experience to guide you then look no further.
no more cold calling, mass emailing, begging for someone to buy your product. if you are wearing all the hats, trying to figure out catalogues/lookbooks, trade shows... then read on👇🏼.
I'M here to help you make WHOLESALE A STRONG REVENUE STREAm.
Have all your admin automated so you don't miss another potential lead.
Have stockists that send you repeat orders regularly.

I felt SO much more confident dealing with her than I would have had I tried to tackle it without the course knowledge. In fact I cringe thinking about how it might have gone had the 'precourse' me' handled it!.

The program has been essential in me beginning to wholesale my art prints. This was the first online course of its kind I have invested in and it has been well worth it! I already have several wholesalers and it helped me pave the way and avoid mistakes which I 100% would have made without doing the course! As a busy mum it was great being able to re watch the content and take notes etc... best money I spent all year on my business!!

WHO IS RUNNING THIS PROGRAM?
frequently asked
Yes it is!! This will give you the confidence to contact buyers and Retailers and in turn give you better conversion rates for everyone you contact also.
Absolutely. We will go over all the different types of selling and pros and cons. We will review what would work best for your type of product and range offering.
I have worked with all types of products from homewares, fashion, candles, ceramics, art, beauty, toys and specialty pet products. We cover everything in between in regards to how to get into stores, how to manage the processes you need to service your stockists to making sure your long term relationships are strong and they are constantly re-ordering!
You bet I can!! It is all about knowing how to approach stores in the right way and having the right information to give them. We need to remove barriers to the buyers actually placing orders and also making sure that the LTV of your stockists gets better and better all the time.
I have worked with multiple brands in the lifestyle, homewars, fashion and design industries in this exact area. I have been a National Wholesale Sales Manager in Australia and NZ working with 100's of retail buyer, department store buyers and international distributors. I grew my own brand to over 1000 stockists worldwide with multi 7 figure sales turnover.
100%. What we focus on in here is everything to do with managing those stockists you already have and handling all incoming leads also. We also look at CRM and how to build on the LTV of a store. Don't know what these terms mean? Never fear it is all included!! If you have been wholesaling for over 10 years though and think you know most things then maybe this is not for you!

The Wholesale Group Program really helped me get a better grasp on the numbers behind wholesaling, and which products and stores to put my focus and energy into. It's also helped me streamline my process and make everything more professional, which has given me the confidence to go out into the world and find some fabulous new stockists!
definitely do it! It will help you get all your wholesaling ducks in a row! To describe the program in 3 words I would say professional, engaging, thorough.
