The Opportunity

Problem

Freelancers in retailtech struggle to convince financially strained brick-and-mortar stores to purchase custom inventory software amid razor-thin profit margins.

Solution

Freelancers input store details to auto-generate customized pitch decks with margin analysis, phased pricing, and success stories. Decks emphasize low-risk entry points like MVP pilots under $1k. Track opens and customize on-the-fly for higher close rates.
