Hey ,

MARGIN VELOCITY PLANNER

Do you need help building a credible velocity-based growth and financial plan for your business?

When I first started TeaSquares, there was so much I didn't know about planning for the financial health of the company.

Over time, I was able to figure it out, but oh, how much I had to learn.

That's why I'm excited to learn that Margin Velocity Planner created an awesome software app that allows you to plan for the financial growth of your company using a bottoms-up process. 

Have you read Dr. Richardson's Ramping Your Brand Book? Well this is the actionable way to execute on a velocity-based strategy. 

The full app allows you to:

• Set Revenue Growth Pathways

• Establish the Unit Economics

• Analyze Price Points at Retail

• Estimate Trade Marketing Expenses

• Determine Viable COGS Ranges

• Build a Multi-year Financial plan

The full version is $479, but members of the Foodbevy community can get $80. This is definitely something you want to check out.

INVENTORY OPS WITH FIDDLE

If you're still managing your inventory and operations in Google Sheets, you're heading to disaster. I know. I built the most complicated spreadsheets for TeaSquares using extreme formulas to force-fit my business into one document. I love Fiddle.io because they make it easy to manage EVERY channel for your business, from Shopify to Retail in a seemless system.Best of all, you can try it out for free, and save over $1200 off in your first 6 months. Check them out, and if you're interested in getting the discount, just send me an e-mail and I'll send over an introduction. 

EARN $2 PER REVIEW

One of the main questions I hear from people browsing the Foodbevy directory is "There are so many companies, how should I choose who to work with?" I'm excited to announce that we're adding company reviews to the directory so the best industry partners rise to the top. You'll be able to read reviews directly from other founders so you can see exactly what you're getting into before you work with them.

Best of all, I'm paying you for your experience working with partners as well! Earn $2 via Paypal for every review you provide. You'll even be able to anonymously submit reviews so you can tell your honest truth.
