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:Growth Lab: The Intent-to-Cart Method
DESCRIPTION:You’ve been there: You spend two hours crafting the “perfect” newsletter\, hit send\, and wait for the Shopify pings. Instead? Total silence. \nThe problem isn’t your product—it’s Intent Alignment.\nYou’re sending “updates” while your shoppers are searching for “solutions.”\nIf your content doesn’t mirror the questions they are asking Google at 10:00 PM\, you stay invisible. \nWe’re going to close that gap and turn your blog and email into a high-velocity sales engine. I’m Julie Pryor\, Owner & CEO of Emerge. As a CPG Growth Catalyst and Architect\, I’m teaming up with digital marketing and lead-gen expert Dexter Burgess to give you the exact architecture you need to convert faster. \nOur 60-Minute Architecture Session: \n\nThe Revenue Leak: Stop the “send and pray” cycle. We’ll pinpoint where your emails lose the buyer’s interest and fix the gap costing you sales.\nThe Search Mirror: Learn to bake the exact phrases your shoppers use into your headlines so you stop being invisible to the people already looking for you.\nThe Content Multiplier: Stop the content hamster wheel. Learn how to write one high-alignment piece that powers your SEO\, your blog\, and three weeks of emails.\nThe Inner Circle Intel: Turn “random search traffic” into a loyal community that tells you exactly which flavor or product to launch next.\nThe 10-Minute Roadmap: A repeatable workflow to match your subject lines to your shoppers’ actual brain-needs.\n\nLet’s Audit Your Brand Together\nThis is a hands-on\, interactive lab. Once you register\, you’re invited to submit one email or blog post that “flopped.” We will pull it apart in real-time to find the disconnect. You’ll leave with a “Before & After” blueprint you can apply to every single campaign you send this year to ensure you are the answer they’ve been searching for. \n$97 – Register Here

SUMMARY:Inner Game Intensive: Day 1
DESCRIPTION:The Gap Is Not Your Strategy.\nYou have the product. You have the plan. You are getting the investor pitches and the category buyer meetings. \nBut there is a specific breakdown that happens in high-stakes conversations. It is the moment when a great strategy stalls because you filled a silence with a justification of your price\, or you hesitated for a second too long when asked about your burn rate. \nThe gap between the work you put in and the results you see is not a strategy problem. You have been in the CPG trenches long enough to know the strategy. What is happening in those moments is a loss of authority. \nThe Inner Game Intensive is a 3-day elite experience for CPG founders\, business owners\, and leadership teams ready to stop leaving their authority at the door. This is about the personal responsibility of commanding the conversation so you can actually execute the growth you have forecasted. \nApril 28 – 30\n11:00 AM – 12:30 PM ET | 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM PT \n\nTHIS IS FOR YOU IF: \n\nYou find yourself justifying your price or terms before the buyer even pushes back.\nYou over-explain your “why” the moment an investor asks a difficult question about your burn rate or COGS.\nYou are playing “grateful to be in the room” instead of peer-to-peer with category leaders.\nYou leave high-stakes meetings with a “we will think about it” instead of a firm business decision.\n\n\nTHE THREE DAYS \nDay 1 | Stop the Leak\nWe find the exact moments where you trade away your margin or your timeline. This is about the hesitations that signal you are willing to settle for less.\nThe Result: You stop negotiating against yourself before the buyer even speaks. \nDay 2 | Lead the Conversation\nThis is about how you handle the “no” or the “not yet.” We work on the specific language you need to stay in the driver’s seat when an investor or buyer pushes back on price\, placement\, or terms.\nThe Result: You end the cycle of polite ghosting and get to a firm business decision. \nDay 3 | Own the Room Regional and nationwide distribution deals require a different level of leadership than a local store placement. Day 3 is about holding the frame required for seven and eight figure conversations.\nThe Result: You show up as the category authority the market expects. \n\nYOUR FACILITATORS \nJulie Pryor\nJulie has spent 25+ years in CPG and grocery retail in the trenches\, not on the sidelines. Having worked with business owners across every stage of growth\, she understands exactly what breaks down between having a great product and closing the deals that scale it. She is the strategist who has seen your pattern before and knows the shift required to move through it. \nMarni Battista\nMarni is a High Performance Coach and author who has spent 17 years helping high achievers close the gap between their capability and their execution. Featured in the LA Times and New York Times\, Marni is known for being direct and producing real behavioral change. She is not here to help you feel better about the problem. She is here to help you solve it. \n\nFOUNDING COHORT INVESTMENT \n$497 |  Includes all three live sessions and hot seat access with Julie and Marni.\nLimited to 10 seats to ensure we solve for your specific business scenarios.\nThis pricing is available for the founding cohort only \n→ JOIN THE COHORT\n8 spots left. 3 days. The shift starts here.
