151. [“Is It Worth It, Charlie?” Series] Should I Work with a Distributor? - a podcast by Allison Ball

This week, Charlie brings us another episode of the “Is It Worth It, Charlie?” series. In it, Charlie e-meets with Annabel Kalmar, director of Tea Rebellion, to discuss if she should continue to work with a distributor.

Working with a distributor is perhaps one of the most critical things you’ll think through when trying to expand into more retailers.

In this episode, Charlie and Annabel consider the following:

• What benefits Tea Rebellion has experienced from working with a distributor
• What challenges arise
• How Tea Rebellion’s mission, values, and logistics fit with working with a distributor

After talking through all these considerations, Annabel has a clearer understanding of her next steps!
