There's so much buzz around the 4th season and what it means for the retail and CPG world. How do we separate fact from fiction, when it comes to buyers in the 4th quarter? In this episode, I'm re-capping what you need to know about pitching in Q4 so that you make the most of your limited time.

In this episode, you'll hear..

🕓 A month-to-month breakdown of what Q4 looks like for busy buyers

🕓 How a potential staffing pinch will affect the grocery landscape

🕓 Why it's "all bets off" for buyer communications after November
