Knowing who the right decision maker in a retailer is only the first step. Then there are the challenges of managing the complex systems and requirements that slow brands down and end up costing them precious time or money.
We help you avoid common pitfalls like:

· Chargebacks and penalties that eat into profits.
· Pricing, slotting fees and promotions killers

You’ve got questions and we’ve got answers. Check out a few of our most frequently asked questions:
What does a product broker do?
A product broker connects manufacturers with buyers such as grocery chains, distributors, and retailers. We accelerate market entry by:
• Securing introductions to the right buyers.
• Presenting products and negotiating placement.
• Providing market insights and consumer trend analysis.
• Managing relationships, promotions, and sales strategy.
How are brokers compensated
Most brokers, including Street Link Services, work on a commission model—earning only when sales are generated. This ensures our goals align with yours: growing profitable distribution. Some projects may involve other fee structures depending on scope.
Why use a broker instead of handling sales yourself?
Breaking into retail alone can take years of trial and error. Brokers bring established relationships, category knowledge, and proven processes that accelerate distribution, reduce risk, and prevent costly mistakes.
How do I choose the right broker?
Look for a broker with experience, a track record of retail success, and strong buyer relationships. Ensure the broker team is one you'd enjoy working with, they will become like business partners.
What’s the difference between a broker and distributor?
Broker: Facilitates placement, strategy, and growth but does not take ownership of inventory.
Distributor: Purchases products, holds inventory, and resells to retailers.
