229. How to Drive Velocity in Whole Foods

In this episode, I sit down with Sabrina Kautz, a fractional CMO who helps emerging food and beverage brands grow their retail footprint. With a sharp focus on Whole Foods, Sabrina shares tactical strategies to drive sustained velocity—from in-store marketing to managing buyer relationships and executing demo programs that actually convert.

We cover:

  • Why velocity matters more than ever at Whole Foods
  • What new brands get wrong about retail marketing
  • How to evaluate the ROI of promotions, demos, and field marketing
  • Building a retail strategy that scales beyond your launch

If you're on shelves at Whole Foods or planning to be soon, this is a must-listen.
