151: Wholesale, Hiring + Taking Your Business Temperature with Katie Hunt

If you are a product-based business owner, I need to warn you that this episode is GOLDEN. GOLDEN. Listen now, but if you’re on the go or multi-tasking, you’re going to want to come back and take notes on this episode because there’s SO MUCH HERE. 

My guest today is Katie Hunt. Katie is the founder of Proof to Product, a podcast host, business strategist and community builder for product-based business owners. Since 2011, Katie has helped thousands of brands get their products on the shelves of retail stores big & small. Her alumni's products are sold in Target, Nordstrom, Container Store, Starbucks as well as independent boutiques around the world.  Katie’s strengths lie in connecting people and bringing ideas to life – brainstorming, making a plan and executing.

In this episode we discussed:

  • What the smallest businesses with the most wholesale success have in common

  • What you need to have in order to start pitching for wholesale

  • How to know when you’re ready to hire

  • What it means to take your business temperature

  • The value of pulling back and stopping things

  • How to create an annual strategy plan

  • Balancing business ownership and parenthood

  • And much more…

Get ready for the magic that is this conversation.
