LOL...not so easy ...
Since new to company - look back at the methodical steps they are taking to grow locally, regionally, establish relationships with larger store chains (Luckys - partially owned by Kroger).

They are doing a great job...and scaling up and being ready to sustain national production will follow

They announced taking steps on listing upgrades which larger distributors require....

So happening

I definitely would NOT say that they are lacking. Anyone who would has clearly never been involved in running a business, let alone a startup.

Also keep in mind that every inch of shelf space has to produce income for the store. Upper management makes that decision which doesn't come easy.

You have to understand, a small startup company has to prove themselves with smaller distributors and smaller grocery chains before the big boys will even consider taking them on. That's exactly what this company is doing. They have landed distribution with smaller distributors, have landed a smaller grocery chain, Lucky's Market, and have multiple online outlets.

This all doesn't happen overnight. Kona is a long play and they are laying the foundation to be a very successful company. With that said, I think their sales team is doing exactly what they need to do.
