Pitch my product to a retail buyer to win shelf space
A buyer-focused pitch, sell sheet, margin table, and test proposal for getting a consumer product stocked by a retailer.
The prompt
Help me prepare a pitch to a retail buyer to get my product stocked.
My product and brand: [WHAT IT IS, PRICE POINTS, SKUs I want listed]
Retailer: [NAME, FORMAT, STORE COUNT, their typical shopper, the category it fits]
Proof of demand: [sell-through at other retailers, direct-to-consumer sales, reviews, repeat rate, audience size - real numbers only]
Wholesale terms: [wholesale cost, MSRP, retailer margin %, minimum order, case pack, lead time]
What I can fund: [launch promotions, slotting fees, co-op or marketing development funds, demos, markdown support]
Operational readiness: [EDI, UPCs, routing guide compliance, product liability insurance, production capacity]
Meeting format: [line review / intro call / trade show; time allowed]
Give me:
1. Why the buyer should care: how my product grows their category (new shoppers, bigger baskets, better margin) instead of stealing sales from items they already carry.
2. A 10-minute pitch outline and a one-page sell sheet.
3. A margin table showing the retailer's margin at MSRP and at promotional prices.
4. A proposed test: number of stores, SKU count, duration, and the units-per-store-per-week or sell-through target that would justify a wider rollout.
5. Likely objections (price, unproven brand, fill-rate risk, "we already have something like this") with answers.
6. Terms to review before signing: chargebacks and compliance fines, payment terms, returns or guaranteed-sale clauses, markdown allowances, exclusivity.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
