If you are struggling to make sales, please reach out.  Demand is as high as we have ever seen with SSS @ +34.4% and overall sales up 43.8% YTD.  Buyers are looking for great coffee from brands they connect with and you have the coffee - connecting is what you can do to make the sale.  Be sure you are leveraging your "160" and not counting on paid ads.

Have a great week!!
