Why It Works

How to Execute

Help with stocking and displays
Bring gifts or samples for staff
Provide store-specific insights
Be genuinely helpful
When It Fails
When scaled too broadly, when product doesn't warrant personal attention, when stores don't value relationships
Real Example
“MrBeast personally restocks Walmart shelves and builds relationships to ensure optimal chocolate placement and availability”
