Springtime makes me happy! Enjoying my early Saturday morning walk and the many treasures of nature. I hope you have a wonderful Saturday and take some time to recover and enjoy the splendor of nature!
Thrilled to share insights from our latest newsletter in the dynamic world of Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG)! Here's what's in this Saturday's edition: - Scaling up isn't just about getting bigger; it's about getting smarter for profitability. Our recent poll delved deep, revealing that planning (44%), solid processes (33%), and clear vision (22%) are key to success. - Reflecting on my passion for guiding #CPG leaders, I'm reminded of Frank Sinatra's quote about doing what you love. - Kathryn Bricken's journey with Doughlicious - The London Dough Co., is about perseverance and innovation. - Imposter syndrome can be a roadblock, but Jamie Kern Lima's 'Believe It' offers empowering insights. And more... Remember, in the challenging journey of scaling up, you're not alone. Our community at Compass Rose is here to support and inspire you. Let's embrace the path to smart growth together! #CPG #ScalingUp #SmartGrowth #CompassRoseCommunity #compassroseventurenewsletter

I have exciting news to share. I am officially launching my first eBook today! For the past 12 months, I have been writing down every framework, model and process that I have learned over the last 20+ years and put it down on virtual paper. It's 100% free. It's called The Guide To Profitably Scaling Your CPG Business. Who is it for? Founders. CEOs. CFOs. COOs. CMOs. Essentially, my clients. Is it just CPG? I created it with that vertical in mind, but many colleagues say this works across all businesses. I really enjoyed working on this project, and I look forward to creating more valuable content for my community! A special thanks to all of my former colleagues who were fundamental throughout my careers and had some sort of influence in me putting this together. Be sure to visit https://rb.gy/3qbqcf to download the eBook.

Are you keeping up with your consumers? 🙈 It's all about "and." Discounting has been a hot topic lately in an effort to increase margins. Are you discounting yourself out of business for no reason? Your consumers are savvy. They're pinching pennies on the mundane but won't hesitate to splurge on what truly delights them. It's not just about needing something; it's about wanting it too. 💡 For your brand, this means rethinking strategy. Discounts? Sure, they have their place. But the real game-changer? Offering those unique moments of delight that make your product a must-have, not just a nice-to-have. Rethink, realign, and redefine what value means to your consumers. It's about creating that irresistible pull that goes beyond price. Make your product their “and” purchase. #ConsumerInsights #BrandValue #StrategicMarketing
