Tactics To Sell More Retail + Supplements w/ SFH

I had a great conversation with Sydney Crispin from SFH Supplements in which we discussed keeping your business offerings simple and streamlined vs. broad and everchanging.  We also jammed on some great tactics for microgym owners to utilize when selling supplements to increase profit and ensure you're not sitting on bare shelves of inflated inventory.
