The project
Retail Account Business Plan: Mock Category Review for a P&G Brand
A one-page PDF business plan pitched as if you are a P&G sales intern presenting a category growth opportunity to a major retailer like Target or Walmart, covering assortment gaps, a pricing recommendation, a shelving rationale, and a projected sales lift. This maps directly to the core intern responsibility of co-developing data-influenced business plans with retail partners and demonstrates the financial and strategic thinking P&G screens for.
- Pick one real P&G brand (e.g., Tide, Gillette, Pampers) and one retail account, then pull 2-3 publicly available data points, such as category growth stats from a Nielsen press release, a brand's market share mention from a P&G earnings summary, or a shopper trend from a free NielsenIQ or Statista snippet, to ground your plan in real evidence rather than opinion.
- Build a one-page structured business plan in Google Docs or PowerPoint with four clearly labeled sections: (1) Situation, a one-sentence category and account snapshot using your data; (2) Opportunity, one specific gap such as an underrepresented product size, a price tier the retailer is missing, or a shelf placement problem backed by a shopper psychology principle like eye-level placement or decision fatigue; (3) Recommendation, a concrete action for assortment, pricing, or shelving with a simple projected impact such as estimated incremental units or revenue using basic arithmetic; and (4) Cross-functional dependencies, one line each on what Brand, Finance, and Supply Chain would need to do to execute, showing you understand how these teams interact.
- Export the plan as a clean, formatted PDF and write a three-sentence executive summary at the top written in the voice of a sales rep addressing the retailer's buyer, not P&G leadership, so the document demonstrates audience awareness and the persuasive, customer-first communication style that defines a strong sales candidate.

Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. For roles like this one, Provieo builds the project as a live case-study page: slides, tables and findings you fill in. You bring the thinking.
Where did this project come from?
Provieo read the Procter & Gamble posting and generated it on 2026-10-16. If you paste the same posting yourself you may get a different project, so two applicants don't show up with the same one.
Is Provieo connected to Procter & Gamble?
No. This is an independent project idea based on a public posting. It does not guarantee an interview.
