SUMMARY:The CPG Cash Flow Blueprint: Managing growth without the cash crunch.
DESCRIPTION:High growth is exhilarating. But for many CPG founders\, it feels like surfing a tsunami. You’re riding a massive wave of revenue\, only to realize the water has been pulled out from under you—leaving the bank account dry. \nIf you are funding future production from current sales\, you are essentially acting as a free line of credit for your retailers. It’s an exhausting cycle that leads to financial dread\, even when you should be celebrating. \nJennifer McKinley is joining us to share the exact frameworks she uses to stop the “cash meltdown” and scale sustainably. \nWhat we will cover: \n\nInventory Funding: Using specialized accounts to front-load production without hitting your operating budget.\nCOGS Management: A framework for separating baseline production from growth-driven manufacturing.\n2026 Planning: Moving from “reacting” to proactive forecasting for the next 18 months.\n\nThis is a hands-on workshop.  \nRegistration includes a private 1-on-1 call with Jennifer. This is a focused session to apply these frameworks directly to your specific 2026 goals. \nRegister Now — $197 (workshop included for current clients)  \nRegistration closes Monday\, February 9. A replay will be available for 14 days. \nAbout Jennifer McKinley Jennifer is a Yale MBA and the founder of The Beauty of Profit First Consulting. She helps CPG founders build financial systems that make growth feel smooth\, predictable\, and calm.

SUMMARY:Your Inner Game and Trade Show ROI
DESCRIPTION:This is something I wish every founder walking into a trade show realized\, and actually did something about. \nHere’s what nobody is talking about:\nYou can do every single thing on your checklist and still walk into the show leaking confidence. And when you’re leaking — buyers feel it. The room feels it. You feel it. \nThat leak is what stands between you and the show you came to have. \nJune 10 at 12pm ET.\n1 hour.\n$97\n5 spots.\nRegister Now \n\nYou’ll walk away knowing how to stop over-explaining and convincing — and start leading from belief. \nHow to hold the room when the stakes feel high. How to stay magnetic even when the floor gets loud and the day gets long. \nHow to close conversations with confidence and open the right ones. \nHow to carry this into every pitch\, every follow-up\, and every meeting — long after the show ends. \nThis isn’t a checklist. It’s not more to do. It’s who you need to be so that everything you’ve built finally gets the results it deserves. \n\nWhat one founder said after the April session:\n“I practiced my pitch with what we learned and gave a 5-minute presentation to a startup cohort. I won $2\,500.” \n\nYOUR FACILITATORS \nJulie Pryor — 25+ years in CPG and retail. She’s been on that floor. She knows exactly where founders leak and what it takes to hold the room. \nMarni Battista — High Performance Coach. She walked the SFF floor last year and watched who stopped traffic and who got smaller. She knows how to close that gap. \nMost founders never do this work. And it shows. It’s the only thing that will make all of your prep land. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Naturally Nested Platform Update | Live Walkthrough
DESCRIPTION:You know your brand belongs in more independent stores. The hard part is knowing which ones are worth your time. \nAaron Wise\, President and Co-Founder of Naturally Nested\, is back with a live look at what’s new on the platform since our first preview earlier this year. \nNaturally Nested cuts through the chaos of independent retail — thousands of stores\, no central data\, no way to know who’s actually selling — and turns it into a ranked\, clear answer: which stores are worth chasing\, and which aren’t. \nIf you’re already in independent retail\, or trying to get there\, this session is for you. \nIncluded for current EmergeCPG 1:1 clients. $47 for everyone else.\nSign up by July 3 and get a free Fractional Growth session with me — whatever’s burning in your business right now.\nBring your questions.\nWe’ll leave plenty of time for Q&A. \nSave Your Seat — $47 →

SUMMARY:Make More Money At The Markets You're Already Doing
DESCRIPTION:4-Week Sprint for Business Vendors\n🗓️ August 5\, 12\, 19\, 26\n12–1pm ET / 9–10am PT · Live Online\nReplays sent after every session\n\nSmall group format so each person gets personalized support. \nOne client was selling plenty of single products at her local markets. What she didn’t have was an easy way for someone to try both flavors at once. I saw the gap and we built a 2-bag bundle that we tested. Even with much less traffic than usual at her next market\, the new bundle landed with both new and returning customers. \nAnother client made one small change at her table\, and now local retail customers ask for her product by name. Her revenue is steadier\, and she knows exactly which markets are worth her time and which aren’t. As an added bonus\, her local retail velocity also increased. Win-win when you know how to layer channel sales. \nMy clients are making more money from markets and events from our work together\, and I wanted to offer these practical strategies and systems to more people. \n\nWhy people aren’t buying — find where you’re losing the sale\, before\, during\, or after\nUpgrade your table — flow\, pricing\, bundling\, signage that makes people stop\nWhat to say — conversations that turn browsers into buyers\nMake it repeatable — turn one good market into your normal market\n\n\n\n\n“Your table signage solution was so simple and genius. I could tell people registered it immediately. It certainly furthered legitimacy of the brand.” — Lisa\, PremOla Granola \n$497 pay in full\, or $297 + $297.\nAll 4 live sessions and replays.\nRegister by Friday\, June 26 and get a bonus 1:1 ($500 value) — schedule it any time in July\, no rush.\nIf Session 1 doesn’t give you something you can apply at your next market\, I’ll refund you. \n👉 Pay in full $497\n👉 Pay $297 Today
