How would it change your business if you were confident in your ability to sell tickets for any class you chose to run?


Does this ring a bell?


Feeling Overwhelmed. Your business is running cooking classes, but you’re so overwhelmed trying to fill them, you seem to spend more time doing that than actually thinking about your classes.


Unsure of how to move forward. You’re doing everything you can think of, but things just aren’t taking off...every step seems to be a struggle.


Faced with empty seats. There’s nothing worse than putting a ton of effort into a workshop or class and having hardly anyone show up, or barely breaking even when you’re working so hard!


Losing your steam. You started out so passionate, and because things have been so hard you’re wondering if you’re really on the right path…


If any of the above have you catching your breath and feeling like, ‘that’s me…’ you’re in the right place.

How Do Others Feel About Working With Vegan Mainstream?

I can attest to Stephanie Redcross and her valuable contributions to helping me take my business to a new level. She has so much knowledge and provides you with the tools and motivation to get you where you want to be. AND she is super approachable and friendly. Can’t say enough in the positive realm.

-Chris Kalinich, Plant 2 Platter®

Having Stephanie in my corner was the best business decision I made in 2018! With her expert guidance, I ran a hugely successful first-time launch with an affiliate partner for my flagship course. Her skilled coaching and hands-on support make her one of my go-to resources for getting things done. If you want your operations organized, your marketing laser-focused, and your bottom line increased, I wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie with Vegan Mainstream.
-Katie Mae, The Culinary Gym

I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie Recross to help me with a variety of my business needs. It’s quite amazing how many areas of expertise Stephanie has — and not just on the surface. She was able to help me with questions I had about overall business strategies, as well as marketing, online courses, email campaigns, and event organizing. But more than her technical skills, Stephanie blows me away when it comes to how present she is, how well she listens, how well she understands. Her follow-up is incredible, her professionalism is impeccable, and her compassion is authentic. I can’t recommend Stephanie highly enough.

-Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, author, speaker, podcaster
