The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me pitch a local shop to stock my product.

My product: [what it is, what makes it different]
The shop: [type of shop, what they already stock]
My retail price, cost and the trade price I'm thinking of: [numbers]
Minimum order and how fast I can restock: [details]
Other shops or markets that sell it: [list]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A 4-sentence pitch for an email or in person, focused on why it sells in their shop.
2. A one-page trade sheet layout: products, trade and suggested retail price, minimum order, delivery, payment terms.
3. Wholesale versus sale or return: what each means for me, using my numbers.
4. Answers to the 8 questions buyers usually ask.
5. A follow-up message for a week later.

Use only what I've given you, leave blanks for any price or fact I haven't given, and don't invent anything. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
