AI-Driven Brand Onboarding

THE LNK's sales team was losing potential brand partners because of onboarding friction—brands hesitated to manually import hundreds of products to a new platform. We built an AI-powered onboarding experience that automatically imports and displays their products in real-time as they sign up, transforming the biggest sales objection into a magical "wow" moment that drives conversions.

THE CHALLENGE

THE CHALLENGE

Sales conversations consistently stalled when brands learned they'd need to manually import their entire product catalog to join THE LNK platform. With hundreds of products per brand, this represented weeks of work that busy fashion brands couldn't justify for an unproven platform. The onboarding friction was our biggest barrier to growth, causing qualified prospects to abandon the sales process despite strong interest in our international expansion services.
