When and how to scale your business - with Kate Freeman

Bring Your Product Idea to Life

Do you know what your top 3 sellers are? Do you know what your slow sellers are? Or your average gross margin?

In this episode we dig into the importance of knowing your numbers when looking to scale your business with this week’s guest, Kate Freeman.

Kate Freeman helps product businesses to make more revenue and most importantly more profit! Kate does this by helping you to secure wholesale retail listings, optimise their supply chain and maximise sustainability to drive growth. Kate has over 15 years experience and spent 10 of those years working for a leading female entrepreneur.

We discuss how to tell if it is the right time to scale, and the sort of things that you will need to have in place. We cover the importance of knowing the market, understanding your customers, gathering customer feedback and making sure your supply chain can handle growth. If you are ready to take your business to the next level, you won’t want to miss this episode.
