Sales, Marketing & Innovation for the Vape & CBD Industries

I excel in prospecting, spotting opportunities and developing relationships to fruition to create mutually beneficial partnerships.

My contractor services include; concept creation, B2B & B2C marketing & sales strategy creation and activation and brand building which is one of my passions, over the last 10 years I have been fortunate to be involved in several successful Vape & CBD product launches, securing listings and sales through retail, wholesale, large distributors, national discounters, convenience symbol groups, KMG, bespoke events and large exhibitions as well as DTC.

Outsource Your Promotion & Exhibitions: From £250 Per Day

  • Pre exhibition outreach - identify mutually beneficial business, create an outreach inclusive of social, email and calls specific for each prospect

  • Promotion & Exhibition - Data Capture, Relationship Building, Promotion & Sales

  • Post exhibition outreach - In my many years of attending trade shows and events, I have never experienced 1 that doesn’t require follow up calls and emails to secure deals that have either slipped through the net OR are in the balance and requires a nudge to get over the line.

If you are investing in an expensive show/event doesn’t it make sense to invest in pre & post fundamentals which will 10 -100 X your ROI.

Rates

With 10 years Vape & CBD experience consulting and working with large organisations (Ten Motives, Cirro, Lumo, TCF Group) as well as my own Start-Ups (Ecig Amnesty, Power2Vape, Power2Upgrade etc. I have created the following contractor rates which provides a fast solution for manufacturers and brands with a view to develop a mutually beneficial and long lasting relationship.

  1. Day Rate: £250 (not inclusive of expenses, fuel, hotels etc if visiting prospects, customers or @ an event).

  2. Starter Package: £1,000 Minimum 5 days per month.

  3. Monthly retainer: £2,000 (12 days for the price of 8). £500 paid up front to cover initial prospecting and specialist contractor services. £1500 Balance paid once consultancy work has been completed.

Time Frame For ROI

As the majority of the heavy lifting is upfront (prospecting, relationship building, promotion & sales etc) I have created this basic monthly payment structure, paid no later than the 29th of each month to reduce the outlay (revenue & time ) for medium to large manufacturers and brands. As I can start straight away without lengthy inductions and contracts etc. I could write a book on what it takes to secure a listing into busy V-Shops & C-Stores at every level (individual & chains). That being said please expect anything from 1 day for an independent C-Store to several months for large chains especially any platform that purchases from buying groups.

Commission

5% hardware & PODS. 8 - 12% e-liquid. Paid on all ex vat sales. Nic Pouches TBC. No longer than 4 weeks after invoiced.

Commission Only Sales (Long Term Relationship)

After an initial 3-6 month period I expect the commission revenue to subsidise my contractor fee, therefore resulting in a situation where your marketing and sales outlay can be significantly by using my commission only solution.

Expenses:

  • Mileage Charges at a rate of .45 pence per mile – invoiced monthly in arrears.

  • Train & Taxi Charges (Charged at cost) – Invoiced monthly in arrears.

  • Hotel Accommodation (charged at cost) – invoiced monthly in arrears
