SUMMARY:Special Masterclass For Entrepreneurs: Shift into an abundance mindset in 90-min!
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to learn how to start shifting into an abundance mindset? \nLearn the counter-intuitive steps to creating more success without having to work harder. \nWhen we create success\, we make a positive contribution to the well-being of our families\, friends and communities. \n\nWe serve as role models for others to create success\nWe contribute to the health of the planet\n\nCreating success in your business means having the space and time to have the quality lifestyle you really want\, while reducing your stress and feeling fulfilled\, because you are in charge and you are choosing what you want to do with your time and energy. \nMost of us aren’t taught how to make decisions and focus in on business in a way that supports us and creates success. What happens is we try to adapt to models that don’t work for us and burn us out quickly or lead to frustration as we attempt to juggle all the balls in the air. That’s why I asked one of my business coaches and mentors to create a special\, interactive masterclass just for entrepreneurs! \nCome clear your blocks\, learn new strategies and get live feedback so you can: \n\nMake better decisions to grow your business\nLead your team with more confidence\nStart shifting your “abundance” mindset to receive more money\nGet live feedback and clarity on your “elevator” pitch\nTake simple steps right now to be the leader you want to be!\n\nWhat would it mean to you if you could have more success and abundance with your business\, in the last 5 months of the year? \nYou in?!  \nRegistration: $197 \nRegistration open through 10am EST Aug. 1st \nYES! I want to receive more abundance!

SUMMARY:Business Masterclass: Alternate Food Service Channels
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn about the many\, many opportunities for your brand in the exciting foodservice/away-from-home channel. \nThe food service channel can seem confusing and daunting like putting a 5\,000-piece jigsaw puzzle together.

Leave this session equipped with ideas for your brand in the foodservice channel! \nBusiness Masterclasses are included with an Emerge membership. \nGuests are invited to join for $49. \nSAVE MY SEAT! \n

SUMMARY:Business Masterclass: Is Your Product Competitively Priced To Move Off The Shelf?
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to develop or validate the right pricing strategy for your products and for your business\, and what hidden traps exist. \nPricing is both an art and science. Unfortunately\, the system is very complicated and opaque by design. Remember what you think is your product’s SRP will rarely happen. You must know your numbers and importantly both your distributor and retailer margin requirements. It’s not easy but possible. Every day and promotional pricing make a huge difference at the shelf with consumers. The consumer (end user) is what this session on pricing strategy is all about! We will review theory and calculations to set price. \nDuring this business-building session\, we’ll share and discuss: \n\nDesired/target margin percentages by category including NBC (Nutrition Body Care)\, Frozen/Dairy and Grocery\nGross margin objectives and calculations to be competitive on shelf\nMargins vs. mark-ups and formulas for calculating each\n\nWe’ll have plenty of time for Q&A. \nMonthly business masterclasses are included with an Emerge membership. \nNon-members are invited to join and #getsmartquick!
