About this episode

Welcome back, product bosses! We have another fun coaching session with Kelly, the founder of KDCrop Farms, who sells jams, pickles, and more. If you’re wondering what your next best step forward is or you’re looking to grow beyond being a local business, this episode is for you!

Kelly has been selling at local farmer’s markets and in-person since 2006, but now she wants to expand beyond her local community and markets to focus on increasing her online sales, but she’s not sure what her next best step is to grow her business.

Together, we dive deep into the importance of determining and honing in on serving your ideal customers, the importance of consistency and brand building, and why selling online might not actually be Kelly’s path forward to grow her business. 

Tune in as we figure out Kelly’s next BEST steps to growing beyond a local small business and walk away with helpful tips you can use to figure out your own path forward!
