What to bring to a Rosebank or regional desk session.
What this guide is for
What to bring to a Rosebank or regional desk session. It is written for South African seller teams who need something they can defend in a desk review, not a generic ebook.
Use it beside a supplier shortlist and a channel choice. Alone, it is just homework.
Print a copy. Load-shedding still happens mid-meeting, and paper does not wait on a router.
How to run it
Fill every blank that affects money or courier class. Leave stylistic blanks alone. Date the version. Name an owner.
Pair the guide with a playbook and a stack so the folder tells one story. If three documents disagree, the buyer will find the crack.
Checklist
- Written for SA seller teams

- Email info@dropshippers.co.za for a tailored pack
Common mistakes
- Treating the guide as optional reading after go-live.
- Copying numbers from another market without a local courier check.
- Never dating the version, so nobody knows what is current.

Keeping the guide honest
What to bring to a Rosebank or regional desk session. Date it. Name an owner. Otherwise it becomes a polite PDF nobody trusts.
Fill blanks that touch money, courier class, or compliance. Leave stylistic blanks alone.
Print a copy for load-shedding days. SA desks still lose routers mid-meeting more often than slide decks admit.
Pair this resource with a playbook and a stack. Three aligned documents beat six contradictory ones.

Worked example mindset
Pretend you must explain this guide to a new ops hire on a Monday after a power cut. If the page needs a verbal tour to make sense, tighten the blanks.
Use SA courier and fee assumptions. Importing a US template without edits is how margins quietly die.
When the guide disagrees with a live supplier email, the email wins until you update the guide. Do not let old PDFs argue with reality.
Ask for a tailored pack from info@dropshippers.co.za if your category has hazmat, cold-chain, or age-band twists.
