Investment & Enrollment

The Accelerator is a complete store transformation — not à la carte training. Every engagement starts with a strategy call and requires at least one Manager enrollment.

How Enrollment Works

The Retail Professional Accelerator™ is designed as a complete revenue system for your store — not individual training. The frameworks, tools, and coaching work together, which means your team needs to be trained alongside you for the system to deliver results.

1

Book a 30-minute strategy call with Julie. Every engagement begins here. Julie assesses your store’s needs, current metrics, team size, and goals — then builds a custom training plan.

2

At least one Manager must enroll. The Manager Track is the anchor — it unlocks the business diagnostics, coaching, and operational tools that drive the transformation.

3

Train your team. The HIGH-END™ Framework, GROW™ de-escalation, and sensory merchandising only work when your floor staff know the system. Certifying your team with the Cannabis Sommelier™ program is what turns frameworks into revenue.

Build Your Team Plan

Deploy to your budtenders so the frameworks actually produce revenue.

Why Training Your Team Multiplies the ROI

A trained manager with an untrained floor team has the playbook but no one to run it. The revenue lift happens when every customer interaction follows the system.

Manager Only

$5,000

1 person trained

You have the system, the data, and the coaching — but your team is still selling by THC% and price. You’re coaching from behind, correcting every interaction.

Manager + 5 Certified Staff

$9,975

Net ~$1,995 after BC grant

Every shift runs the HIGH-END™ framework. Every budtender reads terpene profiles and guides by outcome. Your AOV lifts across every transaction, not just the ones you personally handle.

Projected additional annual revenue

$288,000

Payback: ~12 days at full tuition • ~2.5 days after grant

Outside Canada? The ROI Still Works.

The Retail Professional Accelerator™ is available to cannabis retailers in the United States and internationally. While the Canada Job Grant reduces your out-of-pocket cost significantly for Canadian retailers, the program’s ROI is built on revenue impact — not grant subsidies.

A single-location store with 100 daily transactions and a $40 average basket sees $288,000 in additional annual revenue from a 20% AOV lift. Even at full tuition, the program pays for itself in under 3 weeks. US retailers with state-level workforce development programs may also qualify for partial training reimbursement — contact us for guidance.

Set the grant slider to 0% in the calculator above to see your numbers without any subsidy. The math speaks for itself.

Canadian Retailers: Government Grants Cover Up to 80–100%

All three tracks are structured as formal educational tuition — eligible for Canada Job Grant funding. US retailers: see the ROI calculator above with grant set to 0%.

For Grant Agents: The Retail Professional Accelerator™ and Cannabis Sommelier™ Certification are structured educational programs delivered by CannaReps Consulting Ltd., a registered Canadian training provider. Programs include defined learning outcomes, competency-based assessments, a formal certification exam (85% pass threshold), and a professional credential upon completion. Total eligible training hours: 40–66.5 hours depending on enrollment track.
