Join Brandartica š¤ Peter Jude Ricciardi š¤ and š Jeff Litcofsky, along with Robert Cogan, for: The Story Behind Startup Growth
Featuring Shawn Berg, Founder & CEO of SMB Sales & Marketing
Every CPG founder loves to talk about their product.
But the product isnāt what sells.
The story is.
And not the āwe started in our kitchenā kind of story, the one that actually moves people. The one that connects, convinces, and converts.
This week, weāre howling with Shawn Berg, a 23-year CPG veteran, brokerage boss, and unapologetic music-fan-man (90s alt, 80s metal, Stones, Beatles).
Heās built brands across the Southeast that donāt just sit on shelves, they sell off them.
Weāre talking:
š„ Why most startups hit a wall around year 2 or 3
šÆ How to fix your messaging before you fix your marketing
šø The music-meets-mindset of selling with conviction
š And what it takes to stand for something loud enough to be remembered
Because great products fill shelves.
But great stories?
They move them.
