#28 How Joining HBSA Boosted Vicky's Conversion Rate From 0.2% to 5.4% - An interview with HBSA student Vicky


Listen Later

👉 Join me as I chat with handmade business owner Vicky, owner of Rawsome Chocolate.

💪 She shares her inspiring experiences of leaving her full time employment as a teacher and assistant head to creating an un-roasted vegan chocolate company in response to the challenges posed by her son's dairy intolerance and a commitment to ethical sourcing.

⚡️ Gain valuable insights into the craft of chocolate making, from sourcing high-quality beans to the art of chocolate tasting. Learn how Vicky transitioned from craft market sales to establishing a successful online shop on Etsy and her own website.

💙 All whilst balancing family life with her husband and twins, one of whom has Cerebral Palsy.

🚀 A year ago Rawsome Chocolate was an expensive hobby... joining the HBSA has given Vicky a path to follow, a plan with actionable steps and the changes she's implemented are now showing how effective they really are.
