OUR SERVICES
Green Seed offers valuable services for sales management and marketing support.
We provide a turn-key approach to help you establish on-shelf retail presence and develop effective marketing strategies to build your brand awareness and stimulate trial. We can work alongside your sales and marketing team as advisors. Or, if you’re just starting out or new to the US, you can outsource your sales needs to our national sales team. When you’re ready to build your own in-house team we can assist with organization design and recruitment, then help transition sales and marketing responsibility back to your staff.
