Running a decentralized cannabis sales team without purpose-built data boundaries produces margin erosion and compliance liability in the same motion.
Floor price exposure
If an outside broker can see unallocated harvest volume or true manufacturing cost, your negotiating position is gone. They know exactly how low you can go, and they will trade your margin for a faster commission.

When a 1099 broker leaves, a shared sheet or generic CRM login has already given them a permanent copy of your client book, pricing tiers and pipeline history — portable to a direct competitor the same afternoon.

Unmonitored external access to live facility counts creates audit tracking gaps. That is not an internal housekeeping issue; it is the kind of gap a state regulator flags.
