SUMMARY:Mentorship Industry Program Virtual Workshop  with Peter Chapman\, SKUFood
DESCRIPTION:Retail-Ready | Topic: Channel Partners | Online Webinar \n10:00am – 12:00pm | Via Zoom \nWhat to expect? This Session is a  2 hour virtual-workshop as an  immersive learning experience\, with a deep dive into the topic of  Channel Partners. It is guided by retail industry expert\,  Peter Chapman of  SKUFood. As part of the SKUFood C.A.R.T. process\, this is meant to develop skills for  food and beverage entrepreneurs. \nIt will cover how to find  channel partners\, what they cost and how to integrate them into your team. It is not always realistic for producers and  processors to do everything. We will also explore the requirements from the customer’s perspective and the channel partners they could work with such as brokers\, distributors\, and retail coverage. These are costs to do business\, but getting on the shelf is only worth it when they have the team in place to get the products into the shopping cart. \nWho is this for? It is intended for companies that have products in the market\, have market experience\, but want to gain new skills and understanding so they can grow their product sales and business to new levels of success and profit. \nThis session is being offered through  Prairie Food Link ‘s mentorship program\,  Innovation Table\, a new collaboration with the  Raj Manek Mentorship Program \, who provides one-on-one mentor matching and basics of business programing. \nInnovation Table is built on a simple idea – when people gather to share knowledge\, experience\, and curiosity\, innovation follows. *Protégés accepted into the mentorship program will have first access rights to the workshop. Registration is open to all Prairie Food Link members who are food\, beverage and/or ingredient entrepreneurs.   \nVirtual Tickets $10+tax \n*Are you an approved  Innovation Table mentorship program protégé? \nPlease contact Monica Pollard for a promo code \nREGISTER
