1) Karen will not pitch your product to a chain store if you are not retail-ready. And if you have NOT submitted your information in time to pitch buyers (we give you 30 days or so after the event to adjust anything necessary that Karen requests)! Retail-ready means 100% ready today to go after a chain store. Packaging, Pricing, Shipping, Manufacturing, All Done and Makes sense for a retail chain by the Time Karen Pitches a Buyer for You. If you are not Retail-ready, Karen will provide you a deep deep discount to our next America's Next Retail Product Event and you will have the chance to get your product pitched at our next "America's Next Retail Product' event! Events are held yearly and we may do more but for now they are yearly. Unfortunately, Karen will NEVER reach out to buyers if she is not comfortable with selling your product until it's ready by retailers standards. Either way, you will STILL receive all information on how to approach, pitch and sell to retailers, a full live event training and coaching, buyers contact list, and everything you need to get started when ready with retail chains! You should attend no matter what because we teach how how to approach, pitch and sell to retailers and you can get started the minute you are retail-ready anyhow!
2) ONE chain store retailer from any of the following retailers will be reached out on your behalf! Based on recommendation, Karen will help you choose which one you should focus on!
Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Macys, Nordstroms, CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Bed Bath and Beyond, Lowes, Office Depot / Office Max, Costco, Best Buy, Michaels Stores, etc. MOST of these retailers can be focused on: https://nrf.com/resources/top-retailers/top-100-retailers/top-100-retailers-2021-list. We do not focus on small retail chains. And we will ask you to pick 3 retailers and Karen will choose the one that she will focus on. So start thinking about which retail chain you want to sell to first! :) Wow!!!
3) Karen and her team will reach out to a chain store on your behalf 30 days or so after live event (to make sure everyone is ready to go) for 30 days! We will give you advanced notice on when we need information submitted well in advance.
4) You will be responsible for creating a unique marketing one sheet that we will need to utilize to reach out to buyers. If you do not follow exact instructions, we will not allow your product to be shown to buyers. No exceptions! If you do not hit the target deadline, we will happily provide a deep discount to our next America's Next Retail Product Event and have you submit then! We will do whatever it takes to set you up for success. However, you will need to do your part!
5) You will need a professional graphic designer to help you create the marketing collateral we need to reach out to buyers. You will have 30 days to complete this. And we will give you extensive training on how to create the one sheet and we will only provide ONLY ONE feedback response from our team on what to fix. If you do not follow instructions after our one feedback experience, we will not reach out on your behalf! We cannot keep going back and forth on feedback. So we do need to limit this. Bottom line is follow instructions and you should be good to go! We are very careful with the data we provide. You will know what to edit.
6) We are doing our best to help you get into chain stores, please be respectful of our time. Answer deadline requests and do your part. We will not make exceptions. There is always one person who refuses to do their part, This event will not support anyone like this. So help us help you and we would LOVE to help you pitch a buyer to a chain store! Woohoo!

9) If a chain store shows interest in your product, you will be responsible for this relationship. We will make introductions and you get to follow up and also keep the commissions. This means we do not take a commission for our work with chain stores. Wow! We will provide training on what to do if you have to communicate with a buyer in advance. Not to worry!
10) Important - ONLY One (1) Product Per Ticket(s) Purchased. You will need to only pick ONE (1) product to be pitched by Karen Waksman and Her Team to a chain store retailer on your behalf. No exceptions. If you buy the Two (2) ticket package, you will not be able to pitch more than 1 product either. The purpose of the 2 ticket option is to help teammates and partners be able to attend this event!
11) Buyers are buying virtually these days. So most of the time you will never have to go to corporate to pitch a product. We do not help in this manner in regards to buyer meetings, but we will provide training to help you support yourself with that retailer if they ask you to fly in or to virtually communicate with you. Again, very rare these days to fly into a meeting. Woohoo! Karen and her team's job is just to make an introduction to buyers to see if there is interest in your product, as best as we can. You take over the account from there. We are just doing the reach out work! Bottom line is we reach out to the chain store virtually on your behalf and if buyers are interested in your product, you will follow up with the buyer and answer their questions and hopefully get a Purchase Order from them virtually! No guarantees ever that we can get you a chain store order...and FUN! We really want you to win!
