Pitching to Retail Buyers; Get Buyer Ready and Get the "Yes" May 28, 2026 9:30-11:30 CDT

May 28, 2026 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM (CDT)

Description

   

If you're pitching to retailers, you're not just selling a product-you're selling a low risk, high confidence decision.

This 2-hour virtual workshop helps early stage and scaling brands show up with readiness, numbers, and messaging that buyers need to say "yes" to. Turn "Thanks, we'll think about it" into " Let's bring this in".

Pitching to a buyer soon? Don't wing it. Food and Beverage Manitoba has collaborated with Food Venture Accelerator to bring you closer to your dream.

In this Workshop you will learn:

Get Buyer Ready - What must be dialed in before the meeting-pricing architecture, margins, supply readiness, differentiation and proof points.

Deliver A Pitch Buyers Actually Hear - A clear 60-90 second buyer pitch that communicates value fast

Show The Numbers Buyers Expect - The key metrics and how to talk about them simply and confidently

Ask For the Listing and Close - How to make the ask, propose next steps, and keep momentum

Handle Objections Without Panic - Price, shelf-space, risk, and "we already have something similar"

Follow Up Like a Pro - Post-pitch emails, sell sheets and relationship building that keeps you top of mind

You'll leave with a PDF tool kit you can use immediately and walk in ready to ask for a listing. Built from real buyer meeting expectations and retail readiness best practices.

Please note* Spots are limited at this price and we want to keep the Q & A useful and specific.
