'A lot of the regional businesses, when they came to try to get their products on the shelves of some of these larger retailers, they had amazing products, but they didn't understand what it actually took to do it.'
Smith said her program helps to support small business owners, not only in Chicago, but across the country.
"I was a national buyer for some of the larger retail organizations in the United States. So I was working with, let's say, the big guys, the P&Gs, the Unilevers of the world, but I was also working with like regional businesses. And what I noticed was a lot of the regional businesses, when they came to try to get their products on the shelves of some of these larger retailers.
"What we do is we provide a lot of education and coaching and other platforms. So one of the platforms to help them grow is Sokoni," said Smith. And to make her programs more robust and accessible, Smith has partnered with economic development organizations and initiatives like the FedEx Learning Lab, which come with grants, connections, and additional resources for small business owners.
