Mentorship Industry Program Virtual Workshop
with Peter Chapman, SKUFood
May 20, 2026
Retail-Ready | Topic: Channel Partners | Online Webinar
10:00am – 12:00pm | Via Zoom
What to expect? This Session is a 2 hour virtual-workshop as an immersive learning experience, with a deep dive into the topic of Channel Partners. It is guided by retail industry expert, Peter Chapman of SKUFood. As part of the SKUFood C.A.R.T. process, this is meant to develop skills for food and beverage entrepreneurs.
It will cover how to find channel partners, what they cost and how to integrate them into your team. It is not always realistic for producers and processors to do everything. We will also explore the requirements from the customer’s perspective and the channel partners they could work with such as brokers, distributors, and retail coverage. These are costs to do business, but getting on the shelf is only worth it when they have the team in place to get the products into the shopping cart.
Who is this for? It is intended for companies that have products in the market, have market experience, but want to gain new skills and understanding so they can grow their product sales and business to new levels of success and profit.
This session is being offered through Prairie Food Link‘s mentorship program, Innovation Table, a new collaboration with the Raj Manek Mentorship Program, who provides one-on-one mentor matching and basics of business programing.
Innovation Table is built on a simple idea – when people gather to share knowledge, experience, and curiosity, innovation follows. *Protégés accepted into the mentorship program will have first access rights to the workshop. Registration is open to all Prairie Food Link members who are food, beverage and/or ingredient entrepreneurs.
