Food Biz Wiz

Hearing "your SKU is underperforming" from a retailer can easily put brands into a panic. It's natural. We don't want to be on the chopping block when category reviews come around.

That's why we're thrilled to share this "Is It Worth It, Charlie?" episode. In it, Mary Bentdahl, the Co-Founder, CMO, and Director of Sales for ShroomEats, joins Charlie to discuss how she was able to react and to adjust when she heard from a retailer that one of their SKUs was underperforming. You'll hear their conversation on...

• The importance of keeping cool when you learn of a SKU's underperformance
• How staying proactive in your retailer communication can support your SKU success
• What harnessing consumer feedback can do for course correcting sales
