The New Revenue Strategy: Using Credit & Collections as a Growth Lever
In today’s capital-constrained cannabis market, growth is no longer about topline revenue alone. It’s about cash efficiency and disciplined execution. Yet many operators still treat credit extensions and collections as back-office functions rather than strategic levers. This session explores how leading cannabis brands use structured credit policies, payment behavior data, and proactive collections workflows to reduce DSO, protect margins, prioritize the right retail partners, and increase enterprise value. Attendees will gain a practical framework for turning credit and collections from reactive damage control into a proactive growth strategy.

While this role is often a minimum-wage entry-level hire receiving little training, the resulting compliance failures, poor company culture, unsafe and unqualified medical advice, or simply failing to meet customers’ needs clearly illustrate how uneducated teams can be your greatest liability. These risks are mitigated with quality training, which becomes any brand’s greatest asset when your team knows what they are doing and has confidence in what they say. Training frontline workers is becoming even more critical now as states begin to license social consumption lounges. This session will help you create informed strategies to ensure your team can effectively communicate (within their role and responsibilities) the law, types of products, ingestion methods, terminology, and titration information to guide customers to products that best meet their needs. This presentation takes a closer look at the role of the service and retail specialists, and how businesses can nurture their most critical—and costly—business assets, the team itself.
