SUMMARY:How to get into retail | Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Breaking into retail can feel like a black box: unclear expectations\, mixed advice and little transparency around what buyers truly value. \nIn this practical session\, Anne-Sophie Martin-Kukah draws back the curtain on what happens behind the shelves\, sharing real-world insights from over a decade working with major FMCG brands and challenger founders. \nYou’ll learn how retailers assess brands\, where founders often lose traction and what “retail-ready” actually means in today’s climate. \nThis session is designed to help founders of consumer goods move beyond guesswork\, build credibility with buyers and make smarter decisions. \nTopics covered in this session: \n\nWhat “retail-ready” actually means and where you truly stand. Most founders are told to “get retail-ready” without ever being shown what that looks like in practice. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the commercial\, operational and brand markers retailers use to assess businesses\, and how to honestly evaluate your own readiness today.\nHow buyers think\, decide and “de-risk” their choice. Go beyond surface-level pitching advice and understand how retail buyers actually make decisions. What reassures them\, what raises red flags and how do they assess risk when backing emerging brands?\nA practical framework to move forward – whether you’re pre-pitch\, pitching or post-pitch. Founders often don’t know what to do next if retail feels “a bit too soon” or if interest hasn’t converted into listings. You’ll gain a clear framework to help you prioritise actions\, strengthen gaps and progress strategically\, instead of rushing or stalling.
