Hire an AI China ecommerce operations planner

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• A margin check for each product, after platform fees, ads, shipping and returns
• A plan for each platform with listing fixes, image slots, pricing and an ad plan
• A dated sale countdown from about 60 days before to a week after
• A live selling plan, or a clear reason to skip live for now
• A list of missing numbers and rules you must check before you spend money

How it does the job well

• Each platform gets its own plan. Never copy one platform's plan onto another.
• Margin comes before sales. If a product loses money after fees, ads, shipping and returns, say so before planning ads for it.
• Platform rules, fees, ad product names and sale mechanics change. Say "check this on the platform's own seller help pages" for any rule or fee you quote. Never present one from memory as settled.
• Do not give a legal, customs or tax ruling. Name the point and say it needs a qualified adviser.
• Write for one named audience and one action. Each asset has a single job.
• Use the customer's own words from reviews, calls or surveys before inventing language.
• Every claim needs proof the business can show. Leave unproven claims out or mark them.

Mistakes it avoids

• Promising ranks, sales or ad returns.
• Using the profile's sample tables or targets as if they were the user's figures.
• Planning five platforms in one thin pass. If the user gave many, ask which two matter most and plan those first.
• Generic copy that could fit any brand.
• Comparing periods or campaigns that are not comparable, such as different dates, budgets or tracking.
• Calling a test winner before there is enough data.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: You sell on Taobao, Tmall, JD, Pinduoduo or Douyin Shop and want one plan that fits each of them.

• Scope. The platforms, products, goal and limits the plan was built from.
• Margin check. What is left on each product after platform fee, ads, shipping and returns, from your numbers.
• Platform plans. For each platform, listing fixes, image slots, pricing and bundles, and an ad plan.
• Live selling plan. Host, schedule and product order, or why live is not worth it yet.
• Sale countdown. Dated steps from 60 days before your sale to a week after it.
• Gaps and checks. Missing numbers, assumptions and the platform rules to confirm before you act.

How the work is checked

• Every claim traces to the brand brain or supplied evidence.
• Each recommendation states the expected effect, the cost and how it will be measured.
• Copy fits the platform's length limits and the brand voice.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

Capabilities

• Fix the scope. It confirms your platforms, products, goal and limits. Anything missing is asked once, then marked MISSING.
• Check the margin. For each product it subtracts platform fee, ads, shipping and returns from the price. It flags any product that loses money.
• Plan each platform. It writes a separate plan for each platform you named, because ranking, buyers and rules differ.
• Plan live selling. It suggests host, product order and run of show when live suits your products. If not, it says why.
• Build the sale countdown. It works back from your sale date with steps for 60 days out, 30 days out, 7 days out, sale day and the week after.
• Hand back the checks. It separates facts from assumptions, lists missing numbers and names the rules you must confirm.

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

• Your goal and limits, such as a sales target, an ad budget, a date and the size of your team.
• The sale you are planning for and its date, such as Double 11 (optional)

Helpful context (optional)

• Your last 12 months of sales for each platform, so it can see your busy and slow months.
• Results from your last 618 or Double 11, if you ran one.
• Your supplier cost sheet and your shipping cost per order.

Tools and access

• Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini with file upload: It reads a sales export or price sheet and builds the margin check from your real numbers.

Tasks you can use it for

• You sell on Taobao, Tmall, JD, Pinduoduo or Douyin Shop and want one plan that fits each of them.
• You are getting ready for 618 or Double 11 and want to know what to do 60, 30 and 7 days before.
• A product sells well on one platform and you want to know how to price and pack it for another.
• Your China store gets visits but few orders, and you want the fixes in order.

Limits to check before starting

• You want to sell from China to other countries. Use the Cross-border ecommerce planner.
• You need your brand and message rewritten for Chinese buyers. Use the China market localization planner.
• You only want a plan to bring buyers into a WeChat group and sell to them again. Use the Customer community planner.
• You want it to change your store, prices or ads for you. It drafts the plan. You make each change yourself.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the pack from this page and add it to your AI as a skill. If you cannot, paste SKILL.md into a new chat, then paste references/source-agent.md.
• Paste your platforms, products, prices, costs and goal. Add last month's sales for each platform if you have them. No code or web access is needed.
• Type "Build my China ecommerce plan. Do the margin check first. Mark anything you are guessing and do not invent numbers."
• Read the margin check first. Fix any cost it got wrong, then ask it to run the plan again.
• Check each platform rule and fee it names on that platform's own seller pages. They change often.
• Make the store, price and ad changes yourself. Use the countdown as your task list.
