At The O’Cannabiz Conference and Expo Vancouver BC

I recently had the unbelievable opportunity to be a featured panelist at the O’Cannabiz Conference and Expo held in Vancouver BC Canada December 10-11.
The panel topic was Customer Satisfaction: Make or Break in Cannabis Retail.
I had the good fortune to be one of five incredibly intelligent and thoughtful panelists with a talented and very knowledgeable moderator leading us.
We navigated and talked our way through a wide ranging discussion dealing with many topics pertinent to retail including one on one with customers/patients, marketing in today’s stifling adverting restrictions, and the tightrope of talking possible medical benefits of our many and varied Cannabis and Cannabis-infused products.
The audience seemed enthralled and very engaged and we all felt we made a difference. Many audience members made a point of finding me later during the conference to express their heartfelt feelings that my participation was genuine and down to Earth and therefore extremely usable. This made me very happy as I have previously and on many occasions professed my desire to really help those in retail or those considering entering the field.
I have seen first hand so many so-called “consultants” who do not possess the skill set and experience I do, in fact far from it!, calling on those in need who are ignorant as to the qualifications of these charlatans. And these companies and individuals take advantage of good people’s lack of knowledge and swoop in painting themselves as “experts” charge exorbitant fees and give little or no practical advice and in fact sometimes are harming those customers who are so desperate for sound counsel.
The conference featured so many wise speakers and presenters; Canada considers itself to be a World leader in Cannabis and as a Country they take a great deal of pride in what they see as their role on the World’s stage to promote sound business practices and research. It was therefore a true honor to be a participant in this event. I was also fortunate enough to pick up a Speaker’s “gig” in Mexico City in March of next year as well as in Portland, Oregon in February and March of 2019. I’ll keep you all posted. These truly are exciting and historical times.
Thanks for listening! Go out and make today your best day yet!
