In their words
“Steve is very knowledgeable in product placement and has been working with our products for some time.”
“Steve was an incredible mentor… as a bonus I gained a new account in Key Food.”
“Ever since I began working with Steve the growth of my business has exploded over 20%. He knows how to interest a customer and gain trust with them. He’s gotten me into many stores I couldn’t get into myself.”
“He solved many issues that I was having a difficult time with before he joined the company, which not only helps me as an IO but also the company as a whole by increasing sales and giving the customers more options at all the locations. I really appreciate everything he has done and hope he remains in my territory. He knows the area well and the managers get along good with him. Thank you.”
Results vary. These are clients I’ve worked with directly, not course students.
How it works
No later than 90 days. Here’s every step.
Apply for store placementNine quick questions on what stores require. Pass the must-haves, and you can book your free review.
We look at your product, your barcode and your pricing. I tell you straight whether it fits Manhattan’s independent stores.
If it’s a fit, I send you the checkout: $1,000 for five stores. If it isn’t, you’ll know on the call.
I visit independent Manhattan stores in person and pitch your product to owners and managers.
A store counts when the owner or manager agrees to take your product on a trial of 30 days or more. You supply it on consignment, and the store pays only for what sells.
If a store reorders, I hand you the account. From then on you ship reorders and the store pays you directly.
What you pay and what you risk
$1,000 covers five stores. At day 90, you get $200 back for every store I didn’t place, up to the full $1,000.

Step 1 · About a minute
Every placement starts here. Nine quick questions, built from what I check before I take a product into a store. Pass the must-haves, and you can book your free 30-minute review with me. If not, you get a list of what to fix.
Who walks your product in
I took a job at UTZ as the Manhattan account rep and grew their Manhattan business. The route guys I worked with started calling me to help them get into stores. They still do.

Option 2 · Learn it yourself
Not in Manhattan, or here to buy a route? Real World Profits is three sections of distribution insider knowledge. It’s the same playbook I use, whether you buy a route, sell your own brand wholesale, or distribute remotely.
Templates included: product sell sheet, credit application, invoice, quote, phone script, store email, samples tracker, sale signs and promo calendar.
FAQ
Still unsure? Ask me on the free review.
It’s 30 minutes with me, free. We look at your product, your barcode and your pricing, and I tell you straight whether it fits Manhattan’s independent stores. If it’s a fit, I send you the checkout. If it isn’t, you’ll know on the call.
You can book it once your product passes the store-ready checklist. Have your product link, wholesale price and UPC barcode ready.
So the call goes to products I can actually place. The must-haves are the same requirements in my terms: a GS1 barcode, a product stores can legally sell, one SKU, your business name and address, a consignment trial, and shipping reorders yourself.
A store counts when the owner or manager agrees to take your product on a trial of 30 days or more.
Stores ring up every item by scanning it. A product without an official GS1-registered UPC barcode can’t be scanned at checkout, legally or practically. No barcode, no offer.
You get a full refund before my first store visit, or if you don’t qualify. After the first visit, the fee is nonrefundable for the 90 days while I’m out in the stores. At day 90, you get $200 back for every store not placed out of five.
Place three, and you get $400 back. The refund is capped at $1,000.
I set up the consignment trial. If a store reorders, I hand the account to you. From then on you ship reorders and collect payment directly from the store owner.
The average is 6 weeks, and no later than 90 days. If a trial is selling but not fast enough for a reorder yet, the manager may stretch it to 60 days.
A trial isn’t a promise the store will keep or reorder your product. The store pays only for what sells. If it keeps your product, it pays you. If not, it pays for what sold and the rest comes back to you.
Products independent stores can legally sell, with GS1 registration and a scannable UPC. One product, one SKU. Book the free review and I’ll tell you straight whether yours fits.
The placement service covers Manhattan stores only. You supply the product and ship reorders yourself, so you need to be able to get product to Manhattan.
Want stores closer to home? The course teaches the same playbook, including how to distribute remotely.
No, they’re separate. The $1,000 service is me placing your product. The $97 course teaches you to do it yourself, and its 60-day guarantee doesn’t cover the placement service.
