Building a successful wholesale business - with Andee Hart, Hart Design Co.

If the word sales makes you cringe a little… this episode is for you.

In this conversation, Vicki is joined by Andee Hart, founder of Hart Design Co and host of the She Sells Differently podcast. Andee started out making candles in her kitchen during the pandemic – and went on to wholesale them into over 100 shops in a matter of months, all while still working a full-time corporate job.

But this isn’t just a story about candles. It’s a really honest, practical chat about selling products in a way that feels good, works long-term, and actually supports your life as a business owner.

If you sell physical products (or want to), this episode will help you:

1. Stop feeling awkward or “salesy” about selling
2. Understand what actually helps products sell in wholesale and retail
3. Feel more confident about pricing your products properly
4. Realise you don’t have to do everything (or sell to everyone) to succeed

Andee brings a refreshing, human approach to sales – one that’s rooted in integrity, consistency and common sense, rather than pressure tactics or gimmicks.

Hosted by Captivate

If you've been inspired to start a podcast in 2024 then I recommend my podcast host, Captivate. They were my top pick when I started 4 years ago because of how easy it was for a complete novice to get started. I’ve stuck with them because it’s still simple, they keep adding great new features (like the ability to share ads like these!) and it’s been so reliable. When you’re ready to start your own podcast, use the link for a free 7 day trial: https://www.captivate.fm/signup?ref=vickiweinberg&tap_a=53455-ceb3a2
