A common theme among food & beverage entrepreneurs, as well as in almost any industry, is settling on the "Just For Now" branding that gets you by until you make more money. Do you start going to the gym once you lose 10 lbs? No! You get your ass in there and start doing the work and the results come later. The other problem with this way of thinking is it gets you "Just For Now" results, i.e. don't expect your brand to be successful if you aren't willing to invest the time and money into it that is necessary. Ainsley Moir, the Founder of Healthy Food & Beverage Group, joins us to share her extensive knowledge of creating successful CPG food & beverage brands and why the struggle to fight off shiny object syndrome and play #thelongergame with your brand is real.

Are you looking to launch a Food and Beverage (FAB) Startup and want to get your product onto grocery store shelves, but can’t seem to figure out how to navigate the large corporate bureaucracy? Here’s the bad news… the large CPG brands can’t either. But here’s the GOOD news… the large CPG brands are so slow that you can still beat them at their own game if you know what to do. Today’s guest, Ainsley Moir, is a veteran of the FAB world, working for big brands such as Coke, Campbells, Vitamin Water, and more. She has been in the boardroom meetings for these large companies with infinite bank accounts and decades-long relationships with retailers. The disturbing news is they still take 4 YEARS to launch new products. Ainsley believed that this was way too slow and so on evenings and weekends she successfully launched her own FAB. coffee startup using proven corporate marketing strategies with startup speed. In this episode, Ainsley walks you through exactly what retailers want for you to get your product in stores. You will learn: The single piece of paper (double-sided) you need to get your product into a retail store How to find CPG buyers and get a meeting What it is that Food and Beverage buyers actually want (and it’s not flavor) How to test your message and assumptions about your market cheaply before you blow a bunch of money developing a product no one wants Why some products lose money for each unit sold… and how to avoid it How to get proof of demand before you’ve even sold a single item Want to learn more about how to get your FAB product off the ground?

Ainsley Moir has always wanted to make an impact. Growing up she dreamed about working for global companies like Coca-Cola where she could use her marketing skills to shape the world’s biggest brands. So, she did. She spent a decade in corporate life before awakening to the fact that if she was working this hard to grow someone else’s brand, why can’t she just apply that energy to a business of her own. She tested a few different side hustles before picking one and taking the plunge to full-time free. Ainsley gets real about that transition - how she totally freaked out just weeks before quitting and the types of conversations she had to have with herself to make sure she did it anyway. In this episode, Sam and Ainsley discuss: How early mentors helped Ainsley land dream jobs The disconnect she felt working in Consumer Packaged Goods Various side hustles Ainsley tested on evenings and weekends How content marketing is helping her land clients The critical role branding plays in growing a business ~Links: Follow AinsleyVisit Engineer Your BrandFollow SamJoin the Freedom Lifestyle Community Epic partner alert ~ Fiverr.com is the world's largest online marketplace for freelance services, beginning at just $5 per job.
