Curious about finding a retail rep or broker for a small hemp topical brand

I make small-batch, THC-free hemp CBD/CBG topicals (salves and lotions) in Minnesota. I'm handling wholesale outreach myself right now, mostly local boutiques, co-ops, spas and dispensaries, and I'm starting to wonder whether a rep or broker could help me reach more accounts without me cold-emailing everyone.

For those of you who've been through something similar:

- Did you find a rep or broker, and how? Referral, trade show, cold outreach?

- Are there reps who take on small brands?

- What commission and minimums did you see, and was it worth it at your size?

- Did you hit any problems with reps who wouldn't carry CBD, or with conflicts with other lines?

- Anything you'd do differently?

Thanks!
