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.
