If grocery store retail is part of your success strategy, then you don't want to miss today's podcast episode. My guest is Lisa Thorson, founder of Run The Numbers, who has 14 years of experience in the natural food industry including brokering brands into big retailers like Sprouts and Safeway.
We’re diving deep into the numbers—COGS, contribution margin, trade spend, and all the key factors you need to understand to succeed in grocery retail. Plus, we talk about the when and why to bring on fractional support like in sales, operations or other executive roles. It's a powerful option that didn't really exist until recently that can help you get to the next level.
Passion is important, but smart financial decisions are what will keep you profitable and able to thrive no matter what is happening around you.
