3 months is too long, do you have other options? Yes we do. You can engage us as consultants and we will craft an accelerated program for you. Unlike BrandCraft however this will be subject to you consulting rates.
I do buy and sell, can I join? Yes you can but do note that the program is specifically designed for brand building so some of the topics may not be as relevant to you. In order to fully enjoy the benefits of the coaching sessions, you will also need to shift your perspective from buy and sell to brand based.
I have an ecommerce store with multiple brands, can I join? Yes you can but do note that the program is specifically designed for single brand development where products are all under that brand.
