At that young age, he made it his mission to bring Rick\u2019s Salsa to market. With McCance handling all business operations with an initial investment from his grandfather Richard McCance Sr. in 2014 his journey into retail began. While pursuing grocery retailer Sprouts, McCance stumbled across RangeMe and signed up for Premium, and got RangeMe Verified. In doing so, not only did he unlock the full possibilities of RangeMe, this move also ultimately scored Rick\u2019s Salsa a hot deal with the largest retailer in the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It runs in the family<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/McCance-men-1024x1024.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress\" alt=\"McCance Men\" class=\"wp-image-5643\" width=\"366\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/McCance-men-1024x1024.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/McCance-men-1024x1024.jpg?w=150 150w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/McCance-men-1024x1024.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/McCance-men-1024x1024.jpg?w=600 600w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/McCance-men-1024x1024.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/McCance-men-1024x1024.jpg?w=65 65w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/McCance-men-1024x1024.jpg?w=1300 1300w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/McCance-men-1024x1024.jpg?w=50 50w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/McCance-men-1024x1024.jpg?w=2026 2026w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The McCance family\u2019s cherished salsa recipe was created nearly twenty years ago by Dustin\u2019s dad, Rick. And for the past two decades, \u201cRick\u2019s Salsa\u201d has been a staple at the McCance family and friend parties. Its ingredients are as simple and wholesome as the name itself, and the salsa is made from clean and natural ingredients, with a foundation of fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, combined with their signature spice blend.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The salsa line has expanded its flavor offering from Intense Heat Habanero to Hatch Green Chile salsa verde. The company also recently introduced its Awesome Sauce, made from seven simple and delicious ingredients that make for the perfect sauce for just about anything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The future is RangeMe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McCance wanted to be strategic in how he would bring Rick\u2019s Salsa to market. He worked on getting Rick\u2019s Salsa into local grocers in Texas where he knew the demand for their product was high. They decided to navigate the waters of distribution and built a good relationship with a co-packer which allowed them to quickly grow into the surrounding Texas market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When McCance decided it was time to reach out to the larger retailers, he stumbled across RangeMe while cold calling Sprouts. A Sprout&#8217;s buyer told them he had to submit their product through RangeMe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was used to cold calling and showing up at retailers\u2019 headquarters to share my product with buyers,\u201d McCance says. \u201cWhen the Sprouts buyer suggested I submit through RangeMe, I had never heard of it before. When I signed up I knew this was the future. It is a new and more efficient way to reach buyers. After I submitted to Sprouts, I decided to stay on the platform for the accessibility and visibility we had with buyers.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The secret sauce of Industry Insights&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2019-07-23-at-3.44.40-PM-943x1024.png?auto=format%2Ccompress\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5652\" width=\"268\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2019-07-23-at-3.44.40-PM-943x1024.png?w=943 943w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2019-07-23-at-3.44.40-PM-943x1024.png?w=276 276w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2019-07-23-at-3.44.40-PM-943x1024.png?w=600 600w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2019-07-23-at-3.44.40-PM-943x1024.png?w=300 300w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2019-07-23-at-3.44.40-PM-943x1024.png?w=1078 1078w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI see RangeMe as a digital platform that is able to share insights on where Suppliers can improve their business to better attract buyers from a number of retailers,\u201d says McCance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, after checking Industry Insights McCance saw that \u201cKeto\u201d was trending in his product category. Considering their avocado oil-based Awesome Sauce was keto-friendly, he used the opportunity to highlight the keto component of their new line resulting in more buyer views on his Awesome Sauce products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Heating things up through RangeMe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McCance took the game-changing step of signing up for RangeMe Premium and getting RangeMe Verified to show retailers he was prepared for retail. Shortly after doing so he received an exciting message on RangeMe from a retail associate requesting samples of their salsas. Three months later that person asked him if he would be interested in being sold in the largest retailer in the world. Within nine months Rick\u2019s Salsa went live across 540 stores.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LRG_DSC09194-1024x684.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress\" alt=\"Ricks Salsa's\" class=\"wp-image-5641\" width=\"371\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LRG_DSC09194-1024x684.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LRG_DSC09194-1024x684.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LRG_DSC09194-1024x684.jpg?w=600 600w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LRG_DSC09194-1024x684.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LRG_DSC09194-1024x684.jpg?w=375 375w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LRG_DSC09194-1024x684.jpg?w=1300 1300w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LRG_DSC09194-1024x684.jpg?w=1406 1406w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 371px) 100vw, 371px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe process of getting connected was super easy since they approached us, but bringing our local product into such a large retailer was a huge learning experience,\u201d McCance says. \u2018I learned a lot in regards to what a national retailer expects from brands in order to be successful.
