Why Retail Fission?
Real Experience, Real Results
We've held senior roles at major omnichannel retailers, manufacturers, and service providers. We understand retail needs because we've been in their seats making those decisions.
Our approach: We don't just advise, we enable execution. We work alongside your team to create your success.
Consulting Focus Areas
Retail and OEM Partnerships
Open doors. Build relationships. Create Programs. Launch successfully.
Having built product and services programs with Walmart, Target, Sam's Club, Costco, Microsoft, Amazon, eBay, U.S. Cellular, Beats by Dre, HP and others, we know what it takes to win and sustain these partnerships.
We help with:
- Retail Merchant and OEM Access – Getting the right meetings with the right people
- Partnership Negotiations – Structuring deals that work for both sides
- Program Launches – From concept to shelf, ensuring successful rollouts
- Relationship Management – Building long-term partnerships, not one-time transactions
- RFP Responses – Crafting compelling, winning responses
- Extended Warranties & Protection Plans – Strategy, design, POS optimization, vendor facilitation
- Returns & Reverse Logistics – Efficient processes that protect margin
Business Development and Relationship Training
Transform your team from order-takers to partnership builders.
Many companies have sales teams when what they really need are business developers who build strategic relationships. Our workshops teach the skills that matter: authentic relationship-building, storytelling, strategic patience, and long-term value creation.
Business Development Workshops
Learn the principles that separate transactional selling from strategic partnership development:
- Building authentic business relationships
- Asking better questions and listening actively
- Understanding what companies actually need (not just what they say they need)
- Moving from pitch to partnership
- Playing the long game in enterprise BD
Relationship Building Workshop
The foundation of all successful business development:
- The relationship economy: why authenticity wins
- Relationship vs. transaction mindset
- Giving before asking: creating value upfront
- Maintaining relationships through changes and challenges
- Leveraging relationships ethically and effectively
Workshops available for teams of 5-50+. Custom programs designed for your specific business and goals.
Trade-In & Circularity Programs
We design sustainable programs that drive revenue and customer loyalty.
The circular economy isn't just good for the planet—it's good business. We help retailers and manufacturers design and launch trade-in, buyback, and refurbishment programs that work.
Our expertise includes:
- Strategy & Design – Building programs that align with your business model
- Partner Selection – Finding the right processors, refurbishers, and reverse logistics partners
- Marketing Support – Communicating value to customers and stakeholders
- Training – Ensuring your team can execute in-store and online
- Promotion & Launch – Creating awareness and driving participation
From consumer electronics to flooring to apparel, we've seen what works and what doesn't.
