Business Coaching for the Retail, Fashion and Design Industries.

I’ve built two multi-million dollar product businesses that I’ve since sold, I’ve owned a retail store, I’ve been a buyer for big brands, I’ve been a seller, I’ve exhibited at over 50 trade shows, I’ve worked with 100's of brands to help them grow to over a million in sales, and I’ve taken all of my knowledge and distilled it into an easy-to-follow roadmap that’ll help you confidently take the exact next step you need in order to grow your business to consistent five-figure months and beyond.  
I love working with creative women business owners on how to build a scalable and profitable product business.



Former lecturer of Fashion Business With 25 years in retail and wholesale, I’ve done it all.

that I had previously worked on to make sales more streamlined. When you're working on your own business it is so easy to get stuck on the little things so it's nice to have someone there help you see the bigger picture, to listen, provide you with honest answers and to hold you accountable. She is also just a genuinely lovely person. I can't recommend Thelotco highly enough.

Mel has helped me set achievable goals and has also fine-tuned parts of my business

all at the same time. Calm, because I knew which steps to take and how and when to take them. Excitement, because I could see the direction I needed to move in and how it would open doors to greater success. 

After my first session I had direction, clarity, and a sense of calm and excitement

We have an established ecommerce business and we booked a 1 on 1 coaching session with Mel to explore a specific business opportunity. She was able to dive straight in and provide valuable insight and knowledge - exactly the information we were seeking. We left the session with a clear plan to move forward. I'd highly recommend working with Mel.

Engaging a business consultant when you’ve been in business for a long time isn’t an easy decision as it’s hard to imagine how any person new to our business could add true value in only a few hours. We recently engaged Melissa Robbins of The Lot Co. for a Deep Dive workshop into our eCommerce business, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Melissa was able to immediately step into our shoes and systematically review almost all areas of the business. Her practical approach and recommendations were supported by multiple working examples and case studies which gave us great confidence to make some changes. Melissa’s firsthand experience in all areas of retail from pricing to branding, sales pipelines to digital marketing were of tremendous value to us and we highly recommend the small investment to have your business examined through The Lot Co. lens.
