Please join us as co-lab and Diversity Council Member Khalika Abrams interviews Chris Guillot, a Retail Consultant and Founder of Merchant Method.
Chris Guillot, Founder of Merchant Method and retail business coach, wants to live in a world with thriving indie retail shops, thoughtfully designed products, and the friendly sounds of merchants chatting with customers.
As a retail professional & educator with over 23 years of experience, she’s balanced operating multi-million dollar businesses (inside of Nordstrom, Gap Inc., Anthropologie, Estée Lauder, J. Crew, and more) and educating up-and-coming retailers on how to sell products profitably.
Since 2012, Chris has helped over 2,500 product-based business owners without big budgets or large teams apply retail marketing, inventory management, and emotional intelligence to improve their profits. Her thought leadership has been featured by Business Insider, Vend, and BigCommerce.
When she’s not teaching retail entrepreneurs how to thrive in a challenging market or developing gamified training content, you can find Chris trail-hiking through Washington State Parks, learning how to play video games with her kids, or watching reality television as wish fulfillment.
You can learn how to build retail profit in simple, achievable steps (for free) at MerchantMethod.com.
the co-lab DIVERSITY COUNCIL
It is our mission to ensure our global network is rooted in equity, diversity, and representation; understanding that by holding steadfast to these pillars, we can do our part to begin to dismantle the racism, discrimination and unconscious bias that are pervasive within the fashion, beauty, retail, and wellness spaces. We understand it is imperative that we match our words with clarity of intent and transparency around the actionable steps we are taking. As the co-lab is a member-led community, we ask that you hold us accountable to this commitment and join us in these efforts.
