Build the ultimate retail store experience.
Next Intake Begins August 1, 2023
Enroll now and get immediate access to your Cannabis Sommelier Level 1 Online course—included for free!
A condensed modular online course to put your plans to paper for the ultimate Cannabis Retail experience. Plus weekly online Masterclass Workshops that bring your retail strategy to life and connect you with a community tackling the same challenges across the country.
A first impression can either turn into a lifetime relationship, or a one-day
disappointment.
Your brand is more than how it looks, the way you place your products, or
even the way you design your store. It’s about the multi-sensory impression you leave with your customers.
How do you keep customers hooked after the first transaction?
We help you understand what the best stores do right by digging into
consumer insights, customer service models and long-term, sustainable marketing plans, so you can steer clear of new-canna-business wrongs.
Great culture is invisible: you just trust the branding, the values and the people in
that company.
One of our biggest goals is to help you build an aligned business: starting from your core values and ending with a culture that invites community.
The Cannabis Retail Management Masterclass includes the Cannabis Sommelier Level 1 Online Certification. We recommend completing your Cannabis Sommelier course before you begin the Management program.
The Cannabis Retail Management Masterclass begins on August 1, 2023.
You’ll receive an online lesson module each week with easy-to-follow videos, done-for-you templates and strategy-building exercises.
Then join your weekly, live online Masterclass Workshops, where we’ll expand on the content to build out the strategies to work specifically for your organization.

Julie only works with passionate people, which is why she ended up as CEO at CannaReps after 13 years of award-winning stints at Aura Cannabis, Apple, Rogers, and Canon. Breaking barriers comes naturally to Julie, who was the first female Apple Expert in Canada, and the GM that led Aura Health Studio & Dispensary to win Lift awards 3 years in a row, as well as receive the first compassion club business license in Vancouver. She’s the sort of deadline-driven creative who’s hungry for better companies and more compassionate practices in the world and in cannabis.
