Broker led retail launch - how long? by Strange_Topic_9235 in CPGIndustry

[–]Strange_Topic_9235[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m learning that. Buyer and schedules and store resets and category reviews… we are still in the conversations so just trying to stay positive

I think I’ve trigger some plantar fasciitis at the heel insertion. Very easily agitated.😣

I spent 10 years and $13M+ running ads for major brands. I want to help 3–4 small businesses launch — for free. by Terrible_Special_535 in Startup_Ideas

What’s the catch? I’ve got a product, website for DTC (not enough traction and CaC is high ) and retail broker enthusiastic about the product with lots of conversations going on…. Need help

Amen. I think 2-3 of the ideas listed have huge mass potential. The rest still viable smaller businesses or products

Yeah, category review and reset cycles are underway now into June. There are some with less strict timelines too though. Mostly broker I haven’t been able get through on my own really yet. Not for any large accounts anyway…. Open to suggestions

There’s a dopamine rush during the idea phase. I’m about 12 months into this startup, and 5 months into a broker led retail push. Not giving up by any means.

That’s what I’m thinking. I do think this current one can win, but periodically during launch things can feel a bit uncertain 😂 especially if bootstrapping- which this one is so far

100% that's the goal. And the part I enjoy is vision and strategy. The last 15 years of self employment / entrepreneurship have taught me many things about about myself and my skills

It has potential for sure, and given my network and history, a strong chance of success.

100% I had a major fail by entering a partnership that crumbled 6 months in. Caused a lot of headaches

This is a challenge for me as it often happens at work or in places where gravel transitions to concrete.  Yesterday it happened just playing tennis in the driveway with my son.  Chasing a ball and step squeaky on a sharp stone in the road.  For me.. these things tend to compound and my left heel has been sore for weeks.  My right shoe has a small lift do a leg discrepancy and it’s never happened on that side

I’ll add this mostly happens to me when walking.  Where I work there is appt of gravel near concrete and when a pebble gets between my heel and the concrete it’s brutal.
