Retail Ready Spotlight: How Beauty & CPG Entrepreneurs Can Leverage WBE Certification to Land Shelf Space at Major Retailers

September 30 | 11 am to 1 pm EST | In-Person

Are you a WBE-certified beauty, lifestyle, or CPG founder ready to pitch with confidence? Join us for an in-person workshop that teaches you how to talk to retail and gives you the rare chance to practice in front of the people who listen to pitches every day.

Retail Ready Spotlight puts you in the room with real retail partners: not just to network, but to be heard. You’ll walk away with practical pitch skills, a clear understanding of how to use your WBE certification as a retail access tool, and the rare opportunity to deliver your pitch live to retail decision-makers and get real-time feedback.

What you’ll get:

– A hands-on workshop led by Stephanie Scott-Bradshaw, CEO & Communicator-in-Chief of First and Last PR, on pitching your brand and leveraging your WBE certification as a competitive advantage in retail conversations
– A live pitch opportunity in front of retailers who can give you real feedback on what lands and what doesn’t
– Direct insight into what retail decision-makers actually want to hear
– Connections with fellow WBE founders and the chance to make an impression on retail experts who can open doors

You’ll leave with a sharper pitch, confidence in your retail story, and the relationships that lead to the right conversations.

Who should attend: WBE-certified founders in beauty, lifestyle, and CPG looking to build retail relationships and sharpen their pitch, WBEs looking to break into these industries, and not-yet-certified women-owned businesses interested in learning more.

Location: Studio 1418, Midtown, NY
