Hi {{first_name}},
Leading a beauty brand through the mid-market growth phase is one of the hardest transitions in the industry. You've proven product-market fit, and now the challenge shifts to scaling distribution without diluting the brand.
What we're seeing across the beauty sector right now is that brands in your position often struggle with two things: maintaining consistent sell-through rates across an expanding retail network, and building relationships with category buyers at larger chains who are flooded with pitches.
We've helped several beauty companies in the 50-500 employee range build systematic outreach programs that get meetings with retail buyers at Ulta, Sephora, and regional chains. The key is positioning the conversation around their category gaps rather than your product features.
I'd welcome the chance to share the specific framework we use. Would a brief call next week work for your schedule? 6-9% reply rate
