Do you have an amazing product… and dream of getting onto the shelves of big-name retailers across the entire country (or even globally)…
But have no clue how to get started, get recognized, and get your “in” with the industry?
This week on The Scale or Fail Show, we’re sharing an episode of Women Who Own It, another podcast that Allison Maslan hosts, in partnership with the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).
