Jess has supported category-leading brands through major retail expansions, building the operating foundations that make sell-in and sell-through sustainable. She’ll walk you through a retailer-ready P&L—line by line—so you can see the full picture: margins, trade spend, fees, and the cash requirements often overlooked in early planning. In this session, you’ll learn how to:
- Decide if now is the right time to pursue retail based on your stage, margins, and cash
- Build a retail P&L that accounts for hidden costs, trade spend, and retailer margins
- Model scenarios across channels and retailers to understand true profitability
- Set realistic launch-year assumptions
- Avoid common mistakes that derail early retail rollouts
Takeaway: You’ll leave with a copy-ready Retailer P&L Calculator and a clear go/no-go framework for your next retail move.
