About O'Leary Consulting


At O’Leary Consulting, we can help you find the right retail channel to fit your needs. We have 32 years of experience working with regional and national accounts and can identify the retailers we have worked with and our past successes. So you can be confident that you’re making the right choice.

Our primary goal at O’Leary Consulting is to partner great products with reputable chain accounts so that consumers can enjoy your products. We believe that it’s time to make the selling process strategically focused on the retailer’s core business strategy.

So whether you’re just starting out or looking to improve your product distribution, we’re here to help.

Cold calling and emailing retailers every day can be a frustrating grind. Having a broker is essential for getting your product noticed by Buyer’s and securing that distribution you’ve been working hard to achieve. At O’Leary Consulting, our brokers have established relationships with key decision-makers at major retailers. We can help you filter by the market and class of trade to ensure you don’t waste time on brokers that don’t fit your needs.

If you’re an established manufacturer, you may feel you could be getting more out of your existing broker. We are here to help!

Our goal is to help our clients maximize their business potential.

To accomplish that, we leverage our years of experience, diverse backgrounds and industry knowledge, along with research and data to develop results-driven strategies to help your business grow.
