Independent sports shops to stock my brand
Independent sports shops with the owner and an approved pitch.
What it does
Every month: independent sporting goods stores in your target cities, the best-rated first, with the owner from Apollo and a wholesale pitch by xMap AI, approved by you, sent from Gmail.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, find sporting goods stores and running stores in the area, keep only new ones, find the Owner and Buyer with Apollo, write a summary of each with xMap AI, wait for approval, then send email in Gmail and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Independent shops sell to serious athletes. Being on their shelves builds the brand.

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 90 minutes each time, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 9 blocks.
