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.

I partner closely with founders to make the small\, practical changes that increase engagement and sales week after week — before the market\, at the table\, and after. \nOne founder I work with was in this same inconsistent cycle six months ago.

Her revenue is steady\, predictable. Her markets are now fun again\, and she loves that. \n\nTHE 4-WEEK SPRINT \nWEEK 1 — Why People Aren’t Buying\nFind exactly where your sales are breaking down — before\, during\, and after the market. \nWEEK 2 — Upgrade Your Setup\nTable flow\, product mix\, pricing\, signage\, and the credibility signals that make people buy. \nWEEK 3 — What To Say So People Buy\nCustomer conversations\, email collection\, and how to be of service naturally. \nWEEK 4 — Make It Repeatable\nSeasonal strategies\, gifting opportunities\, repeat buyers\, and a system that keeps working after you pack up. \nYou apply everything this season. Starting with your very next market. \n\nWHO THIS IS FOR \nThis is for you if: \n\nYou’re actively selling at markets\, festivals\, or pop-ups\nYou’re seeing some traction and know you can do better\nYou want more consistency\, more revenue\, and more confidence every single Saturday\n\n\n“Your table signage solution was so simple and genius.
