Retail buyer pitch (range review)

Structure a category-led pitch for a UK grocery or retail buyer and prepare for their objections.

What you need

  • Retailer and category
  • Your sales data (DTC, other retailers) and growth
  • Category data if available (Kantar/NielsenIQ/Circana)
  • Marketing and launch support plan
  • Proposed range, RRP and margin

The prompt

You are an experienced UK grocery/retail account manager. Help me prepare a pitch to the [CATEGORY] buyer at [RETAILER] for [RANGE REVIEW / NEW LISTING] on [DATE].

About us: [BRAND, POSITIONING, PRODUCTS, RRP, RETAILER MARGIN]
Evidence: [SALES DATA, GROWTH, RATE OF SALE ELSEWHERE, REVIEWS, AWARDS]
Category context: [CATEGORY SIZE, GROWTH, TRENDS, SHOPPER DATA IF ANY]
Support plan: [MEDIA, SAMPLING, PROMOS, SOCIAL, IN-STORE]

Produce:
1. The one-sentence "why this grows your category" story (not why it grows our brand).
2. A 10-slide outline: title, key message and the evidence/chart for each slide.
3. The incremental shopper: who they are and why they are not already buying in this retailer.
4. Range recommendation: which SKUs, which to delist from our range if space is tight, and planogram logic.
5. The 8 toughest questions this buyer is likely to ask (cannibalisation, rate of sale, promo funding, supply, margin) with strong, honest answers.
6. What data I'm missing that would make the case stronger.

Keep it factual. Mark any assumption clearly.

Replace everything in [BRACKETS]. Use a business or team account with training on your data switched off, and remove customer personal data before pasting.

What you get

A category-growth storyline, 10-slide outline with evidence per slide, range recommendation, likely buyer objections with answers and data gaps.

Tips

  • Paste the outline into Gamma to generate slides, then replace placeholder charts with your real data.
