Mini Series: 3 Things Food Founders Struggle with in Co-Manufacturing. Part 3: Mastering Communication with Co-Manufacturers
Description
Clear, consistent communication can make or break your co-manufacturing partnership. Misunderstandings around production runs, timelines, or specs often lead to costly mistakes — but with the right systems, you can build trust and avoid surprises.
This week on the podcast, I’m diving into the final part of our mini-series: 3 Things Food Founders Struggle with in Co-Manufacturing. We’ll talk about how to set up communication practices that protect your product, your margins, and your peace of mind.
And yes, this ties directly into Step 3 of my ETS Method — Scaling & Selling with Confidence. Because scaling isn’t just about bigger runs — it’s about managing relationships that support sustainable growth.

How to document and track conversations to avoid “he said, she said”
