About this episode

Welcome back, Product Bosses! In this episode, we're diving deep with Karissa from Wag & Wonder, a passionate entrepreneur who's crafted a line of high-end dog accessories. Despite her dedication, Karissa faces a common pitfall many of you might relate to: skipping crucial foundational steps on the journey from concept to sales.

Karissa's story isn't unique in the realm of product-based businesses. Many entrepreneurs leap from idea to execution, only to realize the gap they've left in their marketing and business strategies. Today, we'll explore how Karissa can fill in these gaps, from perfecting her marketing pitch to differentiating her brand in a saturated market. Plus, we'll discuss strategies to boost her wholesale orders and, ultimately, drive more customers to her business.

Whether you're a seasoned business owner or just starting out, this episode is packed with actionable insights. You'll learn the importance of nailing down the basics, how to stand out in your industry, and tactics to increase both visibility and sales.
