Are you having a hard time getting your line in front of boutique buyers? Today is your lucky day.

On this episode of the Fashion Brain podcast, we talk all about calling stores, road-tripping, sales strategies, hustle, patience, and retail buyers. I’m so lucky to have the chance to interview Meredith Banzhoff – a designer who’s not afraid to share her story. She even talks about the step-by-step strategies she used to get into her first 10 retail stores.

Also check out my training course on how to sell your line to boutiques, a best seller! http://fashionbrainacademy.com/training-courses/sell-boutiques/

Unfortunately we can't read our buyers minds. As fashion designers and entrepreneurs we need our buyers to survive. In today's podcast you'll learn what keeps a buyer from writing an order for your line, their three pet peeves about working with emerging designers, why buyers are not completely honest with you, and how to overcome buyers' objections. Get inside the buyers mind, and more importantly GET INTO THEIR STORES! 

You NEED to hear the truth.
  So you can tweak your line.
  So you can learn what (if anything) you’re doing wrong.
  So you can get the order!

I don’t think I can even count as high as the number of mistakes I made with my clothing line and retail store. I mean, I was GREEN when I started! Trial and error was just a way of life for me back then and it really cost me — in terms of time, money, and energy. Today I discuss three of my biggest mistakes to help you avoid them as a fashion designer, maker, or entrepreneur!

Direct to consumer through Etsy of craft shows? My own online store? In this podcast I discuss the different selling avenues as well as the ones I started with- the good and the bad.

How to do LESS and get the same- or better -results, a key to running a successful business. In this podcast, I walk you through an exercise to find the “crossover” between what you love to do (and produce) compared to what products people will happily pay you money for.
