Tracking Progress

Part of the goal of this course is to push you to do the work of developing and launching or expanding a wholesale enterprise. We know how it is - you attend a conference or workshop and the ideas sound great, but you get home and get busy, and never get around to planning and implementing the great things you heard about.

Our goal is to keep you moving forward in developing your plans and then actually implementing wholesale sales. That means you will have assignments, the project team will collect and monitor your work, and you will share about your progress in small-group sessions as we go along.
