The Cannabis Industry Sales Gap

In the booming cannabis industry, passion is abundant, but expertise is often lacking. Budtenders and brand representatives, despite their fervor for the plant, face significant hurdles when it comes to effectively communicating with customers and clients.

Limited Sales Skills

Many sales teams in the space have an undeniable passion for the product but lack the essential sales skills they need to really engage and convert customers. Without a structured approach, it's hard to know how to navigate customer interactions and maximize every sales opportunity.

Compliance & Communication Challenges

Budtenders and brand reps have to toe the line between giving their customers valuable information and adhering to industry regulations. They need guidance on discussing product benefits, therapeutic applications, and specific conditions without breaching legal boundaries or offering medical advice.

In a rapidly evolving industry, staying updated on the latest products, strains, and consumption methods is crucial. But many front-line workers struggle to keep pace with the constant influx of new information, leaving them ill-equipped to address customer questions and make informed recommendations.

The Level Up eLearning program is divided into three courses: Cannabis 201, Licensed Producers, Cannabis Products & Cannabis Consumption, and Customer Service and Consultative Sales. Each course can be purchased and consumed as a stand-alone course, but you’ll get a discount when you purchase all three courses together.

Student Testimonials

Phenomenal training session. One of the best I've been involved with. Tabitha has an amazing way of explaining the process of cannabis. Awesome for someone with ADHD. Thank you for your enthusiasm and dry humour.

Amazing instruction. I have been a daily cannabis consumer for many years and have learned information today that I never even heard about. So much of this will not only be transferred to our customers but also will be put into my own use of cannabis from now on. Fantastic experience and great teaching!

The interactive parts of the training where we integrated what we learned with our own knowledge made me feel more confident about recommending products to customers.
