One of the smartest most intuitive natural food leaders in the industry – thanks for having me on!” 
Seth Tibbott

Bill Crawford

Andrew Therrien

“Dan has a wealth of knowledge and is so generous with his time and passion for the industry! I would not be where I am today without the help and guidance from people like Dan Lohman”
Bill Bishop
Chief Architect, Brick Meets Click, & Williard Bishop Consulting
“Awesome to see BMC Black Belts Michael Sansolo and Dan Lohman in such a great conversation about the importance of remaining relevant at retail and with shoppers. Dan is the go to resource for natural brands – a tremendous resource for entrepreneurial brands.”
Gordon Wade
Industry Thought Leader And An Original Category Management Creator
“I was one of the three people who created the discipline of Category Management in the early 1990s and subsequently upgraded it to CatMan 2.0 in 2017. During my long association with the category management community, no one has been a more consistent, creative or committed contributor to the discipline than Dan Lohman. His work especially with the natural, organic and heathier foods community has been nothing short of inspirational because he has adapted the principles of category management and its collaborative ethic to a community which does not have all of the data advantages that large conventional manufacturers and retailers have. Dan's lifelong focus on helping companies in this increasingly important and growing segment benefit from the concept of category management has helped more companies succeed than even he realizes”
Debra St. Claire
CEO, Claire's Organics, Inc.
5/5
"Dan,  I have to applaud you again, as you are consistently providing the most relevant content that I am seeing in the natural foods industry. Your topics are spot-on, and you feel like some sort of guardian angel that speaks up just at the right time, just as I am starting to formulate the question!”

Your Expert Guide

I’ve had the privilege of working with and mentoring hundreds of brands from pre-revenue to multi-billion dollars in sales. All of them struggle with some of the same issues. 

While working to launch an innovative brand, I attended the leading natural business building programs, seminars, workshops, and courses. They all taught the same tired old strategies that worked for their grandparents, nothing to give my brand the edge it deserved. Nothing to help it stand out on a crowded shelf and attract my ideal customers. 

I felt like everyone had their handout begging me to hire them to manage my brand. There was no way I was going to hire anyone using the same cookie cutter strategies as my competition. Sound Familiar? You are not alone!

It was then and there that I pledged to change that. No other entrepreneurial brand should be denied the business building strategies they needed to successfully grow and scale. To learn what I need to know, I launched the Retail Solved podcast where I was able to interview CEO’s, industry thought leaders, food entrepreneurs, and founders of successful industry organizations and brands who candidly shared their insider secrets and advice. I learned what worked from the experts and now I am sharing their best advice with you! 

I’ve included the best strategies I’ve used as a Category Management Expert while working for UniLever and Kimberly-Clark. I’m the first person certified at the highest level of Category Management Proficiency, CPSA (Certified Professional Strategic Advisor). Leverage the same creative strategies I used to push around some of the largest and most iconic brands on the planet. They’ve worked for my clients and they can work for you when implemented correctly. That is where this course comes in. 

My mission is to empower brands and raise the bar in natural. That means giving you an equal seat at the retailers table with your most sophisticated competitors. Helping mission based brands gives you more runway to support worthy causes and do good on our behalf.  

Now lets roll up our selves and get started. I’ll see you inside!
