Hi, I'm Alli.

I can’t wait to get to know you and help you make a decision to move forward in your biz.

I get it: being a business owner can be lonely, hard, and overwhelming.

I’ve had to learn and figure it all out in the past 11 years of running Food Biz Wiz: hiring & managing a team of five, understanding cash flow, setting and executing quarterly goals, developing & analyzing marketing strategies, navigating competing priorities and endless to-dos…. It’s a lot.

AND I’m so proud of what I’ve built: supporting over 3,500 brands inside of Retail Ready, and helping generate over $250 mllion in sales for emerging brands. Retail Ready is changing the food industry as we support more women-owned, BIPOC owned, and self-funded businesses, who know that the age-old advice of copacker/broker/distributor just doesn’t work anymore.

We’re here to do something different - build businesses that work for US.

If you share that vision, I welcome you to join us in Retail Ready!

Could This Be You? YES!

Have questions? We have answers:

How much does Retail Ready® cost?

It's $1997 to join Retail Ready, and $99/month for continued access for as long as you'd like to stay! Ther are options to add on 1:1 consulting for an additional monthly fee once you're inside Retail Ready.

I don’t have a product yet -- just a vague idea for my CPG business. Can I still take this program?

The short answer is, probably not YET — you'll get the most out of this program when you have a thoughtful, well-planned product or product line in place. We do not cover regulatory issues, production strategy, health permits, and legal issues in this program. While you don't have to be in production yet, you need to have thought through the viability of your business and have a fleshed out plan in place to start producing.

How big or small should my business be for me to take this program?

There are no revenue requirements. It’s more about making sure you have a basic infrastructure set up (i.e. a developed product or product line and some sort of kitchen facility where you can make it) so that as you get more YESes from Buyers you are ready to grow.

The ideal producer should be in production and sell their product either direct-to-consumer (farmer’s markets, online sales, etc.) and/or have at least one wholesale account. Small to mid-sized food businesses are a great fit.

That being said, we've had producers who have been in business for YEARS take our program and still gain valuable skills and new knowledge, as well as producers who haven't sold ANYWHERE before joining, only to enroll and feel awesome about building their brand and launching upon completing the curriculum.

I'm focused on foodservice, hotels, eComm – mostly non-traditional retail. Am I a right fit for Retail Ready® if I'm not focused on retail, big stores, or grocery?

Yup. We probably should have named our program "Wholesale Ready" but that just doesn't have the same ring as Retail Ready®! Simply put: if you have to convince any human or wholesaler to put your product on their menu, in their minibar, on their website, in their office or in their shopping cart: we got you. Our sales and reorder strategies span well beyond traditional retail. Let's talk about it more on a call together.

I'm not a food or bev brand. I make beauty products, wellness supplements, alcoholic beverages, pet treats, etc - is Retail Ready for me?

YES! We've worked with over 3,500 brands from every category you can imagine, helping brands get into stores like Bevmo, Ulta Beauty, Costco, Whole Foods, Nordstrom, Macy's, local independent stores, hardware stores, pet stores, and more. Plus, we support on food service, corporate gifting, and on-premise accounts too!

Can I work with you 1:1, Alli?

I take on a very limited number of 1:1 clients each year, and always tell the waitlist of available spots before they're offered to the public. You're already on the list, so hang tight!

Can I skip the line and join immediately? I need help NOW.

Great question. Hit reply to your waitlist email (it should already been in your inbox!) and we'll see if we can accommodate you.

What's the time commitment for Retail Ready?

You'll see a massive difference in your business if you can commit one hour per week to the Retail Ready program. Enrollment is on a month-to-month basis, so stay for as long as you'd like to hit your goals!
