Will Ahearn, the President of Dirty Hands, manages over 100 brands in 1,000 retail accounts with the help of about 125 employees - or, as he likes to call them, “brothers & sisters.” On today’s episode, he’s sharing how your emerging food or beverage brand can support your sales on-shelf, develop key relationships in retail, and grow your brand through empathetic partnerships. Tune in to hear us discuss:

 

  • Why it’s important to support your brand after you get on the shelf
  • How you can continue to champion your product line from afar as you grow nationally
  • HOW to show up, physically, to your accounts right now, and who to talk to once you do
  • What you should avoid - at all costs - when you’re nurturing your brick & mortar retail accounts

 

Will drops SO much practical information on today’s show, and you’re going to love hearing his advice just as much as I loved speaking to him about brick & mortar grocery sales. Find the full show notes & Dirty Hand’s contact information by clicking here.
