You Don’t Need More Leads — You Need the Right Menu
If you’re out here chasing sales but haven’t dialed in your product-market fit, you’re leaking money.
Most operators think marketing is the play — but sales? Sales is about serving the right product to the right buyer at the right time.
In cannabis, that means strains that solve problems.
Know Your Market, Then Grow Your Menu
You’re not in the flower game — you’re in the problem-solving game.
And every buyer has a different pain point:
A retail buyer wants a crowd-pleaser with high turnover
A medicinal client needs consistency and lab purity
A plug-level buyer wants price-to-potency performance
You can’t serve them all with the same Zaza.
Start building your menu like a toolbox — each strain solves a specific issue.
Categorize by Effect, Not Just Flavor
The real ones aren’t buying just for taste anymore.
They’re buying for results.
Focus strains (e.g. Green Crack, Durban Poison) for professionals and creatives
Relaxation strains (e.g. Granddaddy Purple, Bubba Kush) for burnout recovery
Recovery strains (e.g. ACDC, Harlequin) for post-workout or pain management
Sleep strains (e.g. Northern Lights, 9lb Hammer) for insomniacs
Build a menu by experience, not hype. Let the outcome be the sales hook.
The Hidden Play: Let Data Guide Your Strain List
If you’re still choosing what to grow or buy based on what you like, you’re playing checkers.
Start tracking:
What sells fastest
What gets repeat buys
What SKUs bring in your best margins
Pro tip: Use a basic CRM or spreadsheet and tag buyers by what strains they reorder.
Pattern = Profit.
Train Your Team to Speak Strain Strategy
Your budtenders and sales reps aren’t just cashiers.
They’re product matchmakers.
If they don’t understand why someone’s buying, they can’t serve the right strain — and you lose the upsell.
“If you’re tired of guessing, let us dial in your top 5 sellers for each target persona.”
Don’t Just Sell. Solve.
People don’t remember what they smoked. They remember how it made them feel.
So don’t sell strains — sell solutions.
Whether you’re a storefront, a distro, or a solo operator, aligning the strain to the problem is the easiest way to close.
Because the best sales strategy? Serve the right strain.
