Services Used: Fractional VP of Sales & COO Leadership, Ongoing Sales Advisor
Painterland Sisters
When Painterland Sisters was just getting started, they needed more than advice—they needed hands-on leadership to help turn their vision into reality. That’s where P2RGroup stepped in.
Trever joined as a fractional VP of Sales, while Jim stepped in as interim COO. Together, they helped build the brand’s sales foundation, shape operational systems, and drive early traction with retailers. From strategy to execution, P2RGroup worked side-by-side with the founders (Stephanie and Haley) during the critical first two years.
Today, Trever continues to support Painterland Sisters as a trusted sales advisor, helping guide the brand’s continued retail growth.
From our very first call with Trever, we knew P2R Group was exactly what we needed to launch our brand. His insights into today’s retail world and spot-on sales forecasting gave us a solid framework for growth and fundraising.
P2R helped us secure and manage brokers, and we’re now in 2,000+ locations with over 8,000 points of distribution. P2R has been with us since the very beginning and Trever’s insight and expertise helps us everyday!

Services Used: Go-to-Market Roadmap, Operations & Sales
Hot Take Dough
Hot Take Dough had a delicious product and a loyal DTC following, but retail was uncharted territory. We partnered with founders Gabrielle and Elise to create a clear, step-by-step retail launch plan from refining their go-to-market strategy to making the right operational adjustments, helping them enter retail with confidence and clarity.
P2R Group has quite literally changed the way we think and are moving forward with our business. We think without them, we would have not been even close to where we’re at and couldn’t be more happy with what we’ve been able to do with them as our consultants!

Services Used: Early Validation & Go-to-Market Strategy
Hummingbird Fuels
Hummingbird Fuels came to P2RGroup with a product idea and a big vision. They needed help figuring out if their concept made sense and how to bring it to life.
P2RGroup guided them through the early validation process, including pricing strategy, COGS modeling, and production feasibility. With practical insight and deep CPG experience, the team helped move the brand from concept to first sale with clarity and confidence.
I had the pleasure of working with Jim and P2R, where he conducted an Early Validation for my Consumer-Packaged Goods start-up. Jim brought tremendous expertise to our team, guiding us from concept to first sale with a blend of common sense and strategic insight. His deep knowledge of sourcing, manufacturing, and logistics was instrumental in helping us establish a strong foundation. I would not hesitate to recommend Jim and P2R to anyone considering entering or evolving their business in the retail space, and I very much look forward to working with him in the future as our business grows.

Cream of the West
Cream of the West is a heritage brand with deep roots and loyal customers, but like many long-standing businesses, they were ready for a refresh. That’s when they brought in P2RGroup.
We helped them rethink how the brand presents itself today while preserving its original spirit. On the operations side, we worked closely with their team at the production facility to improve systems, solve bottlenecks, and set them up for smoother, more scalable growth.
Sometimes, even the most beloved brands need a new perspective, and we were honored to help bring that to the table.
