Welcome to Grovara – The Leading Global B2B Wholesale Marketplace!

Expo West is around the corner, and this episode is your fast prep guide for how to work the floor like a pro. Peter Groverman breaks down the real strategy behind trade shows, how to plan meetings, which days matter most, and how to avoid wasting steps and time when the show is packed.

We also spotlight two products headed into the Expo conversation. First, Prima Bar gets a live taste test with a first-time guest (brutal honesty encouraged), plus a quick breakdown of what matters most in today’s bar aisle, including protein, sweeteners, and ingredient callouts.

Then Grovara introduces cleaning supplies on the platform for the first time, featuring Coco Clean laundry products. Peter talks through why plastic-free packaging, recyclable paper, and lower-water formats are gaining traction, and why “smell good” is an underrated form of product marketing when you’re meeting people all day.

If you’re heading to Expo West, or you want help setting meetings with buyers and brands, this episode lays out the playbook.
