Poor Lead Generation

You may not know what sales channels to prioritize or use to find leads and turn them into repeat retail buyers. This can be adverse, especially when your business or product is relatively new.

Loss of Potential Sales

Potential retail buyers may lose interest fast if your sell sheet lacks critical information such as product features, specs, and benefits.

Loss of Trust in Your Brand

If you include inaccurate information on your sell sheet, you may hurt your brand's reputation. The sheet must accurately represent your brand.

My Expertise in Creating Impactful Sell Sheets

As a renowned invention or product expert, I have over 25 years of experience helping businesses sell to major retailers like Amazon, Target, Costco, Walgreens, Home Depot, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Bed Bath & Beyond, and many others.

I’ve sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth of products to the largest retailers in the world through high-value product sell sheets.

My sell sheet creation process is informed by years of retail readiness evaluation, during which I also assess a product’s success potential in the retail market.

I also rely on my experience in sales representation and retail market entry, where I help businesses approach buyers and make their products attractive to retailers.

Why You Need a Sell Sheet

Here’s why you need a sell sheet for your product:

  • Making Good First Impressions: Sell sheets help present your product in a business-friendly manner to draw customers in, showcasing your professionalism and securing good first impressions among prospective retail buyers.

  • Standardizing Your Sales Information: With a single sell sheet, all your sales representatives can promote your product in the same consistent manner for better results. They only need to share the one-pager with potential buyers or relay the information on the document.

  • Refining Your Sales Pitch: A sell sheet helps improve your sales pitch by quickly telling your prospects about your product. The document also addresses your audience’s specific pain points before you even talk to them, giving you a solid foundation to go on.

Our Sell Sheet Creation Process

Here’s what happens once you reach out to us and tell us all about your ready product:

  • Before we begin the sell sheet writing process, we study the product and its crucial aspects, such as features, benefits, and specs.
  • The sell sheet describes the product, its main specs, features, benefits, and why the prospect should buy it.
  • Once the sell sheet is ready and you’ve approved it, we present it via email to potential buyers.
  • We allow the buyer time to assess the product based on the sell sheet.
  • If they express interest, we offer them more detailed information, such as a 6 to 8-page presentation deck, which my team can create for you at a reasonable cost if you don’t have one.

What’s Included in Your Sell Sheet?

You can expect our sell sheet to include elements such as:

Compelling Call-to-Action

We'll craft an engaging CTA to ensure the recipient knows where to go or what to do next if interested in the product.

What We Need from You to Create Your Product Sell Sheet

  • Product specifications, such as size, weight, price, make, and warranty. Still and/or lifestyle photos.  These are especially important if your product is new on the market and doesn’t have a lot of recognition.
  • An embeddable video of the product, if available. A lifestyle video of a recent consumer using the product would be great.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some crucial questions you may have about sell sheets:

A sell sheet is a one-page document you use to showcase your product’s features, specifications, and benefits to prospective buyers.

The concise and visually appealing document is meant to convince a reader to take action, such as contacting your sales team.

While a sell sheet is typically used to sell a single product, a catalog is a comprehensive list of a business’s offerings.

Catalogs include details like product pricing, specs, and descriptions. They aim to inform potential customers about a wide range of product options.

You can use most of your current brand materials for the sell sheet to maintain consistency across all your marketing materials. You may include your brand logo, fonts, color schemes, and product imagery.

You may need to revise or customize some elements further to showcase the product’s unique selling points. 

Most importantly, ensure the copy specifically speaks to your target audience and covers the product’s key selling points.

It’s best to make multiple sell sheets if you have multiple products, one for each.

If you opt to make them yourself, use templates for easier formatting each time and to maintain standard branding. Keep refreshing some visuals and each copy to conform with current industry trends.

We can create sell sheets for different types of products such as housewares, sporting goods, electronics, toys, gadgets, men’s and women’s accessories, consumer goods, kitchen and bath products, pet products, and many more.

We offer two simple revisions for our sales sheet service. The revisions ensure the sheet looks exactly as it should and is needed so the target retail buyers can understand it clearly and concisely.

You can find the best sell sheet examples by searching online for “sample sell sheets,” which are usually available on marketing blogs.

You can also find sell sheet templates on platforms like Pipedrive, Visme, and Canva. These platforms offer a variety of adaptable templates and even ready samples.

If you have the resources, it’s best to hire a professional to make the sell sheet for you.
