The paperwork behind every purchase order, handled.
Landing the account is half the job. The other half is EDI, distributors, brokers, and the people who teach store teams to sell your product. For Cherry Blooms, I aligned their North American distribution and managed their brokers.

Before you book
What is EDI, and do I need it?
EDI (electronic data interchange) is the system big retailers use to send purchase orders and receive invoices and shipping notices. Most national chains require it before your first order ships.
I set it up with you and make sure it talks to your warehouse, so orders don't get delayed or charged back.
Do I need a distributor, or can I sell to retailers directly?
It depends on the channel. Many large chains buy direct from brands. Professional salon, spa, and many international markets usually work through distributors, who handle warehousing, delivery, and their own sales teams.
Distributors take a share of the price, so the right mix depends on your margins and where you want to grow. I help you decide, then find and manage the right partners. I've managed distributor and broker networks across North America.
