The Reef Store had been stuck at $35–$40 average basket size for 18 months. After implementing the CannaReps methodology, AOV jumped to $65–$67, with top staff hitting $70–$75 — a 68% increase.

During her slow season, monthly revenue grew from $90,000 to $140,000 (55.6% increase). Peak weekend sales jumped 267–300%, hitting $11,000–$12,000 in a single day.
