Looking to land your product on store shelves? A winning retail pitch is key. But how do you create a proposal that benefits both your brand and the retailer? Here's a checklist to ensure your fundamentals are rock-solid, especially for those first-time meetings.

🔥 You've heard the saying "less is more," but when it comes to store comms, Lindsay would like to challenge that myth. Just because you CAN pack everything your store teams need to know into one giant message doesn't mean that you should... or that it is the most effective way to get people invested in your long-term strategy for success. Thanks to everyone who tuned into our webinar with Lindsay and Jeremy while they unpacked myths like "less is more" as well as other ways to turn directives into next-day store execution. They covered: 🔌 Why HQ's well-laid plans might go awry when reaching the sales floor.  🔌 How to simplify and clarify communication, so your directives don't get lost in translation. 🔌 How the right technology can make operational efficiency less tech-nightmare and more smooth-sailing… no IT degree required. 👉 You can watch the full session on-demand here: bit.ly/3PmBh8K Let's pick a better alternative to "less is more!" What do you think?

The more passionately I feel, the more likely I am to talk with my hands. 💁🏻♀️😉 Thinking strategically about communication is foundational to the success of your projects. It’s time to stop handcuffing communicators with arbitrary goals like “send less” and instead empower them to create strategic plans that reinforce the vision and goals of your organization. Adam Grant's “Originals” speaks to this beautifully: “When Harvard professor John Kotter studied change agents years ago, he found that they typically under-communicated their visions by a factor of ten. On average, they spoke about the direction of the change ten times less often than their stakeholders needed to hear it. In one three-month period, employees might be exposed to 2.3 million words and numbers. On average during that period, the vision for change was expressed in only 13,400 words and numbers: a 30-minute speech, an hour-long meeting, a briefing, and a memo. Since more than 99 percent of the communication that employees encounter during those three months does not concern the vision, how can they be expected to understand it, let alone internalize it? The change agents don’t realize this because they’re up to their ears in information about their vision.” Sometimes less is more, but often times, less is just insufficient.

Here are my top 3 takeaways from my conversation with Juli Herdegen Lassow. Watch on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/evW9Zwy5 Listen on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eDU4ZPig Don’t overlook the opportunity within retail: There is significant potential in the brick-and-mortar retail sector. Julie, with her experience in mass retail, identifies opportunities in this industry. Physical stores remain relevant by allowing customers to interact with products, receive personalized assistance, and foster a sense of community. Forward-thinking retailers understand the importance of offering a unified shopping experience that caters to customer preferences. Public speaking is a powerful skill: Juli has leveraged the power of public speaking as a highly effective marketing tool, attributing her success to years of practice and continuous skill development. She emphasizes the importance of honing her craft through professional organizations like Heroic Public Speaking, which have helped her enhance both her content development and stage presence. Rethink how you view supplier relationships: Juli detailed how building supplier partnerships can be likened to dating, as it involves getting to know each other and establishing clear expectations . She approaches supplier partnerships using a framework similar to a consultant's matrix. This involves self-reflection on organizational strategies and priorities, sharing perspectives with partners, assessing existing partnerships, and envisioning a new future. Open communication, asking questions, and seeking feedback are essential for establishing effective communication. Regular reflection and evaluation ensure the plan stays on track and can be adjusted as needed. Bonus takeaway: The importance of the circular economy: The circular economy is crucial in the retail industry. Julie encountered this concept during her transition from Target to launching her own business. She coined the term "green guilt" to address the challenge of encouraging consumption while minimizing environmental impact. The circular economy provides a flexible framework for retailers and brands to understand priorities and implement strategic plans. It allows businesses to tailor their approach based on specific needs and the preferences of customers and clients. Retailers and brands have responded positively to this approach, recognizing the value of reducing waste and maximizing resource utilization. #retail #retailstore #supplychainmanagement #retailinnovation #onlineretail #onlineshopping #brickandmortar #stores
