About

You don’t need to sell more product to improve your bottom line.

You need to stop losing money in your distribution strategy.

Many CPG brands scale into distribution expecting growth, but don’t realize how much margin is lost through trade spend, deductions, inefficiencies, and poor alignment between pricing and channel strategy.

The result?

Brands that are growing revenue but not profitability.

In this masterclass, we’ll break down where those losses happen and how to fix them.

You’ll learn how to evaluate your distribution strategy through a profitability lens, identify hidden margin leaks, and make changes that can materially improve your bottom line without increasing sales.
