SUMMARY:Sell Sheets That Sell: What to Say\, Show\, and Share to Get Your Product on Shelves
DESCRIPTION:Your sell sheet is one of the most powerful tools in your wholesale growth toolkit—and one of the most common things early-stage food brands get wrong. In this one-hour workshop\, you’ll learn how to craft a clear\, compelling sell sheet that highlights your product’s value\, grabs attention\, and makes it easy for retailers to say “yes.” \nWe’ll walk through the must-have components and show you design strategies that work (even if you’re not a designer). You’ll leave with a clear plan\, a content organizing spreadsheet\, and an optional special offer on ready-to-use Canva templates to jumpstart your design. \nAbout the Speaker \nJill Frechtman is an award-winning specialty food entrepreneur and seasoned brand strategist. She brings a wealth of hands-on experience to the table\, having navigated the very journey that the early-stage food product entrepreneurs she works with find themselves on. Jill is passionate about helping emerging brands stand out in a crowded market and offers a distinctive blend of creativity and practical business execution. As a coach\, consultant\, and educator\, she helps entrepreneurs get clear on what makes their brand unique and works with them to develop effective strategies for differentiation\, storytelling\, customer experience\, and overall brand success.
