Who is it for?

Product-based business owners that are ambitions and determined to grow their businesses.

Perhaps you’ve done a little bit of wholesale but now you’re ready to really go for it but you’re not sure how to go about it as previously stockists have come to you. 

You’re brand new to wholesale and don’t know how to start but you are excited about the prospect of seeing your range in shops. 

You have searched the internet, joined all the Facebook groups and spent both time and money on trying to do it by yourself and you’re ready to invest in making it happen.

You’re ready to get started selling to shops, like yesterday, and don’t want to waste time.

You’ve been told by shop owners and buyers that your pricing doesn’t work and you don’t know how to fix it or what’s expected. 

You’re not making any money on your wholesale.

What others say

Therese is very knowledgable in her field and we have thrived on having her input and advice on all manor of things. Her experience and insights have given us a firmer footing in times when we felt unsure or insecure.

Her guidance has helped us to put in place systems to drill down into the exact numbers and profit margins of all products. She has also helped us to understand our limitations and given us the confidence to invest more in outsourcing work. During our time woking together we have brought onboard an accountant and an employee who is now with us 3 days a week. These simple steps are proving invaluable in allowing our business to grow and would not have been possible had we not had Therese's help in first fully understanding the numbers in the business.

SInce working together our business has developed a lot. We have moved to becoming a Ltd company, we have onboarded between 50-100 stockists, we've had interesting larger projects and collaborations come to fruition and with the guidance of Therese just started work on plans to expand into the US.

Working with Therese was invaluable to me as someone with no background in the world of wholesale. We dug into the nitty gritty of my terms and she helped me to identify any flaws or potential issues in my entire wholesale strategy. This meant I could address these before they became problems. Knowing she is at the end of a text or email is also incredibly reassuring. I'll continue to work with her in the future as the business grows.

The advice I got from Therese was invaluable. She helped me move my wholesale business forward after I had hit a slight impasse and couldn't have been more supportive and knowledgeable.
All the experience she is willing to share made me see the logistics part of my business a different light and gave me clarity. Would highly recommend working with Therese.

Have you ever been really nervous to ask for help? Mostly because you feel uncomfortable to admit that you do not know all the answers or you are worried you will be criticized or reprimanded. This was often my reason for not taking the step to ask for help. After joining the Let's Talk Wholesale - Facebook Group and following Therese on the @small_business_collaborative, I found her approach to be very genuinely interested in helping small business owners 1. to have access to concrete resources to get started in wholesale and 2. answering all the questions no matter how big or small with usable information.

And, that is the reason I decided to reach out about her mentorship program. It is one of the best decisions I have made to help me grow my business! Therese helped me significantly by giving me confidence in both my retail pricing and helped me establish competitive wholesale pricing. She answered questions on industry expectations about all elements of working with retailers not just pricing. I often reference my notes from our meetings and find the resources she shared to also be huge time savers when I am contacting perspective wholesale relationships.

Therese is a feel-good advice giver, there was never any pressure or criticism, which fosters a very comforting environment to grow individually and professionally. And most importantly, the advice is solid, clear, and targeted for growth. It has been a great investment and I look forward to continue to build our relationship!

Working with Therese has given me a really solid foundation for building the next stage of my business. I'm a newcomer to retail, and I found Therese's advice to clear and practical - in just a couple of hours she was able to create a plan that will stand me in good stead for the year ahead.

 

She has helped me understand what retailers need to stock my product, and the Starter Pack and catalogue we created has already helped me into 10 new stockists, with many more expressing an interest. Therese is well-connected and clearly knows the industry inside out - I can fully recommend her.
