Frequently Asked Questions

Avoid Nov-Dec (holiday rush), Aug-Sep (back-to-school for relevant retailers). Best: Jan-Mar (planning cycle) and Jun-Aug (mid-year reviews). Within 24 hours of pilot inquiry

Expect 3-6 months for mid-market retailers, 6-12 months for enterprise. Quick wins (pilot results in 30-60 days) accelerate deals. Budget cycles align with fiscal year (varies by retailer).

Reference existing customers in similar channels (brick-and-mortar vs. e-commerce vs. omnichannel). Lead with ROI data. Offer valuable content (industry benchmarks, seasonal playbooks) rather than just asking for meetings.

Focus on: revenue impact (conversion rate, AOV), cost reduction (labor, inventory carrying costs), customer satisfaction (CSAT, NPS), and time savings. Always show payback period (3-6 months is sweet spot for retail).
