For Solutions Providers
We have a saying at RSR: “We like to help solution providers make all of their mistakes in private.” It’s not just a catch-phrase, it’s part of our DNA. When we work with solution providers, our goal is to help them put their absolute best foot forward when talking to – and working with – retailers.
Whether it’s getting your messaging right, knowing exactly where retailers’ pain points are, breaking into new markets or crafting a presentation deck that stands apart, we’re here to help. And unlike other experiences you may have had, the information you share in confidence stays in confidence.
All of these services can be delivered according to your need and budget. As with all our client services, RSR prides itself on flexibility and customization: we are not here to fit your business into our list of services – we tailor our engagements to your exact and unique needs.

Provide the sales team with data and tools to effectively engage with retail prospects. RSR can provide perspectives on everything from high-level trends down to specific tactics to undertake to ensure you get – and keep – the retail executive’s attention.
