#68 Rapid-fire Lessons to Win More Accounts Pt. 2
Listen now
Description
Many Foodpreneurs tend to overthink their pitches, whether this is on the phone trying to get a meeting with a buyer, or in-person during an actual pitch. This is understandable; considering the amount of time that has gone into creating a product or brand, and the fact that getting into a retailer is a big step in scaling a packaged food and drink business. "What do I say?", "Is my product even good enough?", "What do they actually care about?", "What info do they want/need"? The overwhelm can be paralysing and leave many to overthink the situation; which is why I put together a quick exercise to simplify the pitch process by prompting you to answer key questions rapidly. This will help you get to know the parts of your business a buyer wants to know about. This episode is part two of a two-part series on nailing your sales pitch. If you haven’t listened to part 1 yet, you can listen to it here.  In part 2 I take you through the final 5 of the 11 steps that will help you win more accounts, more often, by telling buyers what they actually want to hear, including: 🗣️ What your business model is. 🗣️ Details about any capital investment your business has, or will be acquiring. 🗣️ Details about your team or network. 🗣️ Asking for ‘the sale’. 🗣️ Why you care about solving this problem for your customers (the one I spoke about in #2 of ep. 67).
