Market. Country, down to city.

Segment. Your category, matched to the doors that carry it.

Price tier. Entry to premium, so you land where your price sits.

Actively engaged. Doors responding to outreach, looking at products and ordering, in the last 90 days.

Built from three things nobody else has together: our own conversion data across every campaign, live public market data researched fresh for each search, and AI research on every single door.

Your first campaign is aimed like it’s your fifth. Aggregate signals only; no brand ever sees another brand’s campaign, doors or results.

What we drive. The doors, the outreach, the follow-ups, the samples, the reason behind every no, and the next campaign.

Where your team takes over. The buyers who are interested: you reply, take the meeting and close the deal. The buyers who are engaged but silent: you call them, on the direct line we found.

A no with a reason in week two is worth more than three months of silence.

It takes two or three campaigns to learn which segment replies and which message lands. Doing that during your selling period means learning in the only weeks that count. Doing it now means your next season opens with a playbook instead of a plan.

Short answers. If one of them is the reason you would say no, say it on the call and we will answer it properly.

Is this just AI writing emails?

+

No. AI does the discovery and the scanning at a scale no team can match. A person approves every list and every message before it goes anywhere.

Will buyers know Kingpin is involved?

+

No. Everything sends from your domain, in your voice.

My buyers need to touch the product.

+

So they should. That is why the sample request sits inside the outreach itself. A buyer who is interested clicks once, and we handle the pickup, the packaging and the delivery. Samples only go to buyers who have already shown interest, so you are never shipping product into the dark. Meetings work the same way, with one click into your calendar.

I already have agents and distributors.

+

Keep them. They get the same doors and the same verified contacts, so they stop guessing where to spend their week.

I’m on JOOR, NuORDER or Faire, and I have an ERP.

+

Run them in parallel. Integrations are available at a fixed fee when you want to consolidate.

Can I test one market first?

+

Yes. Month one is one market, one segment, 100 doors. Most brands add the second market in month two, once they can see which segment replied.

Why a flat fee and not commission?

+

Because we are a team you hire, not a broker taking a cut. The price is the same whether a buyer converts in week two or month four, and your margin stays yours.

What if it doesn’t work in month one?

+

Month one is there for you to test us. We reach 100 doors that match your brand’s target profile, with verified buyer contacts. If we do not, you get the month back, and the contacts stay yours either way.
