I reached out to Heather because she is behind the Top 50 People in eCommerce which you may be seeing all over your Linkedin newsfeed right now. Now in its 7th year, Heather and I discuss the process for putting together a list that is as competitive as the Top 50 People in eCommerce. Bad news - bribes don’t make the cut. We alo chat about why it is important to be generous in your career and how to get the attention of trade journalists if you have a message that you want to get out. If you see yourself as a future Top 50 star, this is a conversation you want to listen to! Links from the episode:Inside RetailSend LVLYBrosaAdore BeautyEvery HumanBooktopiaLovehoney Top 50 in eCommerce 2022 reportShopify Plus and Incu (sponsored)Signet and Crockd (sponsored)Questions answered:Which practitioners are at the top of their game in eCommerce according to the Top 50?What trends stood out for you in the Top 50 in 2022What are your tips for making a story stand out when pitching to Inside RetailThis episode was brought to you by…  Shopify PlusSignetAbout your co-host: Heather from Inside RetailHeather McIlvaine is features and premium editor of retail at Inside Retail.
