Performance coffee marketing

We grow coffee brands. Free.

If we like your coffee, we market it at no cost: cold email, a live call center, contracts, order placement, payment collection. We get paid one way, a cut of the orders we land for you. No orders, no fee.

Selective by design. We only take brands we believe we can sell.

The deal

Free isn't a trick. It's an investment. Ours, in you.

We spend our own time and money growing your wholesale business. That only makes sense if we're confident we can sell your coffee. It's why we're selective, and why our incentives are exactly yours: more orders.

We fund the outreach, sampling coordination, and account operations ourselves. You pay nothing to start and nothing monthly.

A cut of orders we land

One flat percentage, agreed in writing before we start, applied only to orders that came through our work. Your existing accounts stay 100% yours.

Brands accepted

We review every application and take on a small number of brands we genuinely believe in. If it's not a fit yet, we'll tell you why.

Reach

Every venue that pours coffee, mapped.

Cafés, restaurants, bakeries, breweries, plus the roasters you'd be up against. Pick a category, hover a state. These are the doors we pitch on your behalf.

What we do

The unglamorous work between a great roast and a great account.

Most roasters don't lose wholesale deals on quality. They lose them on follow-up, paperwork, and logistics. That's the part we take.

01

Outreach & call center

A target list of buyers that actually fit your roast profile and price point, worked by cold email and a professional call center. Your brand gets pitched however you want it pitched: cold or hot.

  • Curated buyer lists: cafés, grocery, offices, hotels
  • Cold email sequences written and sent under your name
  • Professional call center: cold pitches or warm follow-up, your script, your approval
  • Sampling programs coordinated end-to-end
  • Follow-up cadence handled until there's an answer
02

Contract handling

When a buyer says yes, it goes in writing fast: pricing, volumes, delivery windows, terms. Momentum never dies in an inbox.

  • Wholesale agreements drafted and negotiated
  • Net terms structured to protect your cash flow
  • Renewals tracked before they lapse
03

Order placement

Standing orders go in on schedule, volumes adjust as accounts grow, and nobody at your roastery babysits a spreadsheet.

  • Recurring orders placed and confirmed
  • Volume forecasting as accounts mature
  • Issue resolution when shipments go sideways
04

Payment handling

Invoices on your terms, follow-up on outstanding balances, receivables kept clean, so growth doesn't quietly wreck cash flow.

  • Invoicing issued and reconciled
  • Collections follow-up, professionally handled
  • Clear monthly reporting on every account
Process

Four steps from application to standing orders.

No mystery. You'll know exactly what we're doing and which accounts we're working, every week.

01

Apply

Tell us about your brand. We taste, look at your capacity and margins, and give you a straight yes, no, or not-yet, with reasons.

02

Agree the cut

One flat percentage on orders we land, in writing, before any work starts. Your existing accounts are carved out entirely.

03

Outreach sprint

We build the buyer list and start pitching under your name. You approve the story, pricing guardrails, and every contract.

04

Run the accounts

Orders placed, invoices sent, payments collected, reorders confirmed. You roast; we keep the accounts healthy.

Why it matters

Wholesale is where coffee brands become businesses.

DTC gets you started. Recurring wholesale accounts make revenue predictable, and they're won with consistent, professional follow-through.

FAQ

Fair questions, straight answers.

What's the catch?

There isn't one. There's a filter. Free work is an investment we recoup from commission, so we only accept brands we're confident we can sell. If we take you on, it's because we expect to make money by making you money.

How big is the cut?

A flat percentage of orders we land, agreed in writing before we start. It depends on your margins, price point, and category. It never applies to accounts you already had or bring in yourself.

Who holds the customer relationship?

You do. Contracts are between your brand and the buyer. We operate under your name with your approval on messaging, pricing, and terms. If we part ways, every account, contact, and document stays with you.

How do payments actually flow?

Buyers pay you directly. We never take custody of your revenue. We issue invoices from your systems, reconcile what's paid, and run the follow-up on what isn't. Our commission is invoiced to you monthly against the orders we generated.

What kind of brands do you accept?

Roasters with consistent quality and the capacity to fulfill recurring wholesale volume. If you're still dialing in production, we'll tell you honestly that it's too early. A missed delivery costs more than a delayed launch.

How fast do accounts land?

Wholesale sales cycles run weeks-to-months, not days. Buyers taste, compare, and commit on their own schedule. We'll give you a realistic pipeline forecast after the first outreach sprint rather than promise a number up front.
