Publisher's Summary

"Stigma is a process by which the reaction of others spoils normal identity." (Erving Goffman)

As a cannabis retailer, you face the same challenges as every business today, but there are more obstacles for you than the local brick-and-mortar shops or dominating online stores. Being successful means creating a customer experience fueled by a thorough understanding of the consumer. For retailers in the still newly forming cannabis industry, this knowledge only comes from breaking through barriers of a deeply ingrained stigma—one with catastrophic consequences. 

In Breaking the Stigma, Fortune 500 business executive Charlena Berry provides a framework for becoming a prosperous cannabis retailer, showing you how to overcome your product’s negative connotations and impart vital, need-to-know truths about your industry. With firsthand experience with the devastating opioid endemic, Charlena’s fight for cannabis’ legitimacy is a personal one. She shares decades of business insight to show you how to gain market share using traditional retail strategies to improve the customer experience and ultimately gain profitability. 

Ensure your business and product's sustainability and be part of the solution to society’s deadliest problem with this emotionally driven, fact-based strategy for long-term success.
