Fractional Operations and Commercialization for Consumer Products, Services, & eCommerce Businesses | I help build the teams, systems & processes you need to hit ambitious revenue goals, with a dose of empathy & fun
My 2GO Partner and friend Jeff Ottoboni just posted this insightful article on the wine industry. Even in soft markets, individual companies can thrive with strong company leadership and culture. I think these factors apply to almost any industry, do you? Some of my favorites 😝 are: - Create the COO role A COO or integrator ensures company success in a way the company Founder / CEO, trying to wear multiple hats, cannot. - Maintain strong company culture Including consistent and positive communication. - Strong Direct to Consumer efforts Even if you primarily sell through wholesalers/retailers, a DTC strategy can supercharge marketing, sales, customer service and more. - Marketing and Sales Planning Documentation and process are key, departments don’t work in vacuums. - Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) rationalization Remember to monitor individual SKU margin performance. ——— Learn about the importance of these factors and more below. Our team at the 2GO Advisory Group understands what it takes to run a successful business, regardless of market conditions. In fact, we can help your business thrive – not just survive – during tough market conditions (and good ones too).

🎉 Celebrating 2 Months of Incredible Journey at Cove Drinks! 🎉 Wow, what a whirlwind it has been! It feels like just yesterday I joined the amazing team at Cove Drinks, and yet here we are, celebrating our two-month anniversary together. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for making these past couple of months so incredibly special. From day one, it has been abundantly clear that Cove is more than just a company—it's a family. The passion, dedication, and energy that each team member brings to the table are truly inspiring. Whether it's brainstorming new ideas, tackling challenges head-on, or simply supporting one another, I've been blown away by the camaraderie and spirit of collaboration that defines our team. As we reflect on the past two months, I can't help but draw parallels to some of the most transformative moments in recent history—like the legalization of Cannabis in 2018. Just as that historic event opened up new possibilities and ushered in a wave of innovation, I believe that Cove is on the cusp of something truly extraordinary, as Functional Soda takes main stage. Behind the scenes, we've been working tirelessly to lay the groundwork for our next chapter of growth. From expanding our product line to forging strategic partnerships, every step we take is fueled by our shared vision of becoming a trailblazer in the industry. But what truly sets us apart isn't just our ambition—it's our unwavering commitment to excellence and integrity. As we continue to push boundaries and defy expectations, I have no doubt that we'll not only achieve our goals but surpass them in ways we can't even imagine. So here's to us—here's to Cove Drinks, and to the incredible journey that lies ahead. Together, I know that there's no limit to what we can accomplish. Thank you for being a part of this remarkable adventure, and here's to many more milestones and successes to come! Cheers to our past, present, and future success! 🥂 #CoveDrinks #Teamwork #Innovation #Growth #CheersToTheFuture

CEO for a high-quality health drinks producer that redefines industry standards | Driving Growth and Innovation in the Highly Competitive FMCG Industry | Author of the Book 'Business Kodokan'
As I reflect on this Sunday, I am reminded of the key principles that underpin success in both personal and professional spheres, particularly within the context of our healthy beverages production business - Spraga Beverages. It is a time to contemplate the importance of long-term thinking, quick decision-making under pressure, unwavering focus, and the power of teamwork. Long-term success in our venture demands more than just short-sighted actions; it requires a strategic vision that spans months and years. Today, I am reminded to invest our collective energy in decisions that will yield enduring benefits for Spraga Beverages, even if they require patience and persistence. In the face of deadlines and challenges, the ability to think on our feet is indispensable. Sundays offer a moment to appreciate the value of swift, decisive action, especially when time is of the essence. It is a reminder to trust our instincts and act promptly when opportunities arise. Amidst the distractions of the week ahead, maintaining focus on our goals can be a challenge. But Sundays serve as a reset button, a chance to realign our priorities and recommit to the tasks that truly matter for the success of Spraga Beverages. With a clear vision and determination, we can navigate the week ahead with purpose and clarity. Lastly, Sundays are a time to recognise the strength that comes from collaboration and teamwork within the team. Whether in personal relationships or professional endeavours, success is often achieved through the collective effort of like-minded individuals who believe in the project and are prepared to work hard, even beyond standard hours and sacrificing weekend time. Today, I am grateful for the dedication of our team and inspired to foster a spirit of unity and cooperation at Spraga Beverages as we work towards establishing one of the largest healthy drinks facilities in the Czech Republic.
