The Problem We Are Solving(B2B) Is an entire channel waiting to be disrupted.

Wholesale industries are stuck in the dark ages.

Current processes are extremely antiquated.(i.e. Handwritten orders & printed catalogs)

Increase sales two ways…

Existing Customer Growth

New Customer Acquisition1 2

CUSTOMERS

Acquisition Growth

Prospects Conversion Reorder & Up-Sell

Referral

Let’s begin looking at why current sales strategies are broken…

Sales Reps Use Printed Catalogs• Immediately out of date • Exorbitant design & print costs • Impossible to search & filter • Multiple versions - different regions

HIGHLIGHT

Buyer or Rep Manually

‘Noted’ Styles

• Notes are in a single catalog - buyer leaves with valuable info • Manager / owner has zero visibility on forecast / trending styles

The rep reaches for the order pad or excel form…

A negative cycle starts:• Rep & buyer lose valuable momentum (given effort)

• No visual presentation to drive the sale forward

• Nearly impossible to edit quickly — your window for up-sell shuts

• Buyers who are not ready will rush this process, minimizing or killing any possible opportunity

The rep & buyer dance begins…

The rep is now at the mercy of the buyer. The sale has not been managed.

Meanwhile, you have a stack of scribbled notes (what you can remember) &

handwritten orders that can’t be analyzed.

To keep the ball rolling, you create PPT presentations to recap your buyer

meetings…

40 Minutes Per Presentation

You spend weeks creating these

(day & night)

You tried emailing these, but they are too big?!? Next, how do you take a PPT to the order phase?

Without any concrete forecasting or pipeline…

The brand risks everything and places a production order.

In your final selling week,

Orders start appearing.

Head office enters each order in a frenzy to get visibility.

Why New Customers Are Worth More than their First Order

LTV - “Lifetime Value”

Average Annual Order Volume

If you had 100 specialty stores last year & only 80 of those rebooked this year, then you churn 20% of your customers year over year. Your average customer lifetime is

1/0.2 = 5 years

Average Customer Lifetime

Example

Average Order Value $36,000
