Illustration: your Kingpin at work. It types a search for premium knitwear stockists in Germany and Austria, finds 212 companies, shortlists the doors that fit and rejects the rest with a reason, drags three of them into the shortlist, sends the list for approval and reveals 38 contacts.

Most brands never get one. So wholesale runs on two trade shows, a few agents and whoever has time. Slow, expensive, and it never really scales.

    The questions every brand asks us on the first call.

    The questions every brand asks us on the first call.

    Is this just AI writing emails?

    +

    No. Six AI employees do the research, the writing and the follow-ups at a scale no team can match. Your account manager, from your category, sets the strategy and reviews every list and message.

    Is Kingpin right for us?

    +

    It works best for brands that already sell wholesale and want more of the right doors: a new market, a new segment, or more stockists where you already sell. It also needs someone on your side to answer the interested buyers within a day or two. If you are not there yet, we will say so on the call.

    How is this different from AI sales software?

    +

    Software gives you agents and leaves your team to run them. Kingpin is run for you: six AI employees and an account manager who knows your category, plus a network of 3,500+ retailers who already buy through Kingpin.

    Will buyers know Kingpin is involved?

    +

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

    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.

    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.
