She teaches them how to price for profit, sell with confidence (without the icky sales tactics), and build a strategy that fits into their busy schedules so they can grow their wholesale sales with ease.Before becoming a business mentor and consultant, she spent years selling mass-produced gifts. Now, she works with creative and purpose-driven brands like Studio Wald, Made by Shannon, Claude & Co, Etta Loves, and Hello Day Planner—many of which now grace the shelves of Liberty, Selfridges, Fortnum & Mason, Harrods, Fenwick, and hundreds of independent shops across the UK and beyond.As an introvert, Therese had to figure out how to sell in a way that felt right—without forcing herself to be someone she wasn’t. She spent over a decade in sales leadership in the home and gift industry and now sits on the National Committee for The Giftware Association.📞 Book a call with me to discuss your Etsy Shop and hear more about how I can help you through my program, The Ultimate Etsy Course and 1:1 Coaching! https://calendly.com/dylanjahraus/the-ultimate-etsy-course-qualification-call-podcast Want to get your $1 trial listing?
