This article summarizes the core pain points of current cross-border sellers on Walmart and outlines key industry development trends, offering high-value reference for cross-border e-commerce operation service providers to optimize their service offerings and align with customer demand.

1. In terms of industry trends, cross-border sellers on Walmart have shifted their focus from chasing occasional one-off viral orders to building systemically replicable hit incubation capabilities. Solving the problem of unsustainable top-seller performance has become sellers' core demand.

2. In terms of customer pain points, most sellers lack a clear roadmap for building data operation systems and have limited awareness of systematic mistakes in advertising. Many sellers see wildly different growth outcomes even with similar initial advertising performance data.

3. Service providers can develop standardized operation services based on the three-tier monitoring framework and hit flywheel logic outlined in this article. They can also launch tailored services including cold-start operation guidance, ad structure optimization, and refined keyword management to help sellers avoid common pitfalls, improve hit incubation success rates, and match the growth needs of sellers at different stages.

Based on real operational scenarios of sellers building top-selling products, this article summarizes sellers' core needs from the platform and common operational issues among sellers, offering reference for cross-border e-commerce platforms to optimize operational services and improve recruitment.

1. Sellers building sustainable top sellers have refined, granular needs for data tools. Currently, sellers widely use the four categories of reporting tools provided by platforms to meet different analysis needs. Platforms can further upgrade data tool functionality and improve custom dimension analysis capabilities to better support sellers' granular operations.

2. A large number of new and small-to-medium sellers fall into systematic mistakes in advertising and the cold-start stage, which severely hurts their survival and growth prospects. Platforms can launch official operation guidance content for newly joined sellers to help them master correct practices quickly, lifting overall platform GMV and seller retention.

3. Sellers at different stages have distinct growth needs: leading sellers demand upgrades from single-product hits to overall brand growth. Platforms can launch tiered seller support policies tailored to different segments, attract high-quality sellers across all growth stages, and improve the platform's overall category and brand structure.
