Today I am speaking to my wholesale and education manager, Rikke. Rikke is an absolute gun in my business, she is amazing. She started at Hair Candy as a customer service rep, and she very quickly worked her way up to being the manager of the wholesale department because she had so much knowledge and skills. She's helped a lot with the growth of my e-commerce wholesale business, particularly in the last year when we've experienced such a crazy amount of growth. I am so excited for you to hear this one!

In this episode we cover:

• Rikke’s work history and how she got to where she is now
• Her processes for managing our stock levels at Hair Candy
• Tips for anyone who struggles with organisation at work or in business
• How to let go, trust and delegate to your team
