The objective of this project is to facilitate greater visibility into the independent retail market. You will find the sales templates here as well as a button to add a document. This is where you will provide your communication and sales reporting quarterly.
This portal will be used to easily keep track of progress as we move forward with the introduction of the product and company to the network.
Hi Michelle,
Just wanted to check in and ask if the email blast has been sent out. Please let me know if there is anything I should do.
Thank you!
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. I have checked with our team regarding our scheduled blast and it seems that due to our current system maintenance, we’ve had to reschedule the blast to send on 12/27/22.
Our team is diligently working on updated our system including the member directory to ensure that the blast will not only send successfully but yield better results as well.
Please feel free to reply with any questions you may have and I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend.
Hello,
Thank you for the update. Appreciate it.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well.
Hello,
We hope you are having a good day so far. These are some of the people that have shown interest by clicking to receive a sample of the line through the eblast, however they did not enter their information in the lead form once they landed on the sell sheet. I am able to pull the emails associated with the accounts from my end. Please keep detailed communication notes while you are reaching out as they may not all be a good fit for your product line. As we discussed on our Product Education Call, we are going to need reporting from your end, which you can upload directly to your dashboard. Please note that the contacts were contacted through the retail association and are not familiar with our company Mr. Checkout.

Thanks.
Hello,
While trying to access the directory of NRA, my credentials log me in successfully; However, each time I load the page, the contact list appears for one second and disappears right away. I wanted to ask to see if there is still an issue on the website that is being fixed or this is an issue from my end.
Thank you.
Hello Ghazaleh,
Thank you for reaching out with this matter. I’ve sent this to our team to investigate and once we have the directory loading properly again, I will reach out to let you know.
I look forward to your continued updates from your upcoming follow up and hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend.
Hello,
Thank you for the updated report regarding your outreach thus far. It looks like you’re off to a good start and I would suggest reaching out by phone going forward as we’ve found email follow up to be underwhelming for sales. It will also be the best way to get connected once the buyers return from their holiday time off.
I have also had our team investigate the directory matter and it looks like it is now working properly. Please log in to the directory and let me know if you have any further issues.
Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your day.
Hello,
Hope you had a great holiday.
We’ll start calling the buyers again from tomorrow morning, as mostly have been on vacation. I also haven’t received any sample requests from the email blast that was sent out. I believe you mentioned that the Mr. Checkout team would also be starting to contact potential buyers for us at this stage and it is best for me to hold off calling buyers from the directory just yet; Is this still true and will the team be reaching out for us? Just want to make sure I don’t miss out on any opportunity.
Also, access to the directory is fixed, thank you.
Hello,
Once we see the feedback from this initial group, we will move forward with our team’s continued introductions to the members of our association via phone.
Thank you and I look forward to seeing how your outreach continues.
Hello,
I wanted to update you on the followup progress today with some important info:
1- Vita-Herb Nutriceuticals mentioned they do not have the store for our type of product at all.
2- DLC Laboratories Inc mentioned that Sperro has passed away two years ago and they do not have any person that does his responsibilities anymore. Company is now owned by his son Carlos, which is on vacation til mid-January.
As for the other companies, I tried reaching out to them but still no response. I will update you on those once I am able to speak to them.
Hello,
Thank you for these updates and your feedback. I will send these to our team to investigate and update on our end as well. Please be sure to keep these details within the reporting and I look forward to seeing how your follow up progresses.
Thank you again and have a wonderful rest of your week.
I have added all these to the report.
I only have 3 retailers now, which neither respond. Do you have any more retailer contacts for me to call? The email blast did not seem to get much interest.
Also, is there any update on your end for us? I believe that in the education call you mentioned that your team will also start to reach out to retailers and bring potential clients. Is your team also reaching out to any retailers on our behalf? If not, please provide a more extended contact list so we can do this ourself.
Hello,
I understand the frustration however we would like to see the feedback you receive from this initial group before our team continues the introductions by phone. This feedback can be very helpful for our team when we move forward.
Please keep me updated on how your follow up progresses and once we see the feedback you recieve from the remaining contacts, we’ll start moving forward.
Hi,
I’ve uploaded the final report on our first round of contacts. This concludes this group for now. Please review and let us know what the next step is.
Thanks.

Thank you and let me know if you have any questions.

I had a question from you. I have emailed the stores you mentioned above. Will your team be following up with calls to get their feedback or should I be following up with them?
Thanks.
Hello,
We suggest reaching out via phone after you’ve emailed and if you have any trouble getting connected after 3-5 attempts, we will conduct follow up calls on our end to help get the feedback for you.

Hi, please see attached file.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out with these updates. I see that you’ve recieved some feedback regarding the line after the samples have been reviewed and we will share these details with our team. This feedback, although negative, will be helpful for us to use when we continue forward.
I see that you’ve not yet gotten in touch with Daves Health and Nutrition and Vitamins Plus and would suggest a few more touches before considering them to be dead. In the meantime, I will ask our team to move forward with our continued phone introductions and will post the results of our calls here as we’ve done before.

Hi, can you advise what profit margin are distributors looking for?
Hello,
Our distributors will be looking for anywhere between 20-35% and the retailers they deliver to would take the remaining percentage of 30-15%. When working with retailers directly, as we are here, you can expect a 40-50% margin.

Let me know if you need anything more on those products.
Thanks
Hello Ghazaleh,
Thank you for this confirmation and for providing these new product images. Could you please review the sell sheet as it is now and let me know which images you’d like to have changed out to include the new line of supplements? At this time we’re able to accomidate up to 7 images and 1 video on our sell sheet.
Hi, I just uploaded the new images for the sell sheet. Please also modify the ABOUT US section as I noted in the descrption of the uploads. Thanks.
Hello Ghazaleh,
Our team has completed the sell sheet updates and you can review these changes using the link below. Please let me know if you see any additional edits that maybe needed.
Hi, looks great, thank you.
Hi,
I have a question for your team. Does anyone from your team call and introduce and further send our sell sheet to these retailers that you send me the information of? When I speak with them, none of them seem to recognize that they have been previously introduced to our brand and when they check their email, they haven’t received anything. I just want to make sure your team is actually introducing us and sending over our infomration.
Thanks.
Hello Gahzaleh,
Our team are diligently making calls and as they are making over 100 calls a day, it is possible the contacts we’ve spoken with have also received many calls in a day and do not recall our conversation.
In regards to our emails, I’m unsure why they have not received them but would love to have our team follow up and find out where the disconnect may be. We do send a follow up email after our calls however it is possible they are ending up within their spam folders instead of the inbox as intended.
To have our team investigate further, could you please update the report to reflect which retailers
Hi, okay sounds good. I’ll update my list soon so you can see which one’s didn’t know about you. When calling them, do you introduce your company Mr Checkout? Or do you go by just introductions as a part of our brand?
Hello,
We introduce ourselves through our association as this is what the retailers will be more familiar with. When you reach out, you should be referring to the Nutrition retail association’s outreach and email introductions.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Hi, please see uploaded file of the quarter summary. We received one sale this time.
Looking forward to the list of another set of retailers.
Hello Ghazaleh,
Thank you for these updates. I see you’ve had some success with two of these retailers and I will ask our team to move forward with more introductions and will post the results here for you once they’ve completed their outreach.
Thank you again for keeping me updated and please keep me updated on any reorders you receive as well.
Hello,
I hope you are having a good day so far. Our calls have been going well. These are some of the people that have shown early interest in learning more about your product. Feel free to follow up with them to introduce yourself and answer any questions they may have. I have also added notes below each contact to assist you with your outreach. Please keep us posted on your end too. Based on the performance with these distributors, it will allow me to bring you new opportunities. Please keep detailed communication notes while you are reaching out. We are going to need reporting from your end, which you can upload directly to your dashboard.

Please let me know if you have any trouble reaching them, and keep us updated on your progress. We try to make this as easy as possible with templates you can find here: https://mrcheckout.net/sales-report-templates/
Hi,
None of these contacts you provided to us answer any of our emails or calls. I’m really not sure if your team is actually making any calls to them, since they are not responsive at all.
Please advise. Also, We are pretty frustrated with your service. You only provide 5 contacts at a time, which none know anything about us or do not even take our phone calls. We didn’t expect this from your team. We have paid enough to have you guide us more, this is not right.
Hello Ghazaleh,
I understand the frustration and am unsure why your team is unable to get through to the retailers we’ve connected with. Could you please add the details of your follow up to the reporting templates so that our team can review and determine how to assist?
As for the amount of retailers we provide, our goal is to find the right retailers and not just any so once we find 3-5 that show interest, we’re hoping to obtain the sell through and feedback from your follow up efforts to then determine if we’re on the right path or if we should adjust our strategies. We’d hate to share 50 contacts to then find out we’ve not been focusing on the right retailers all along.
Thank you again for reaching out and please be sure to update the reporting with this information so I can assist with these frustrations.
Just checking in to see how your outreach is going with the list of interested leads we sent. Can you please send me the details notes from your outreach? We require quarterly reporting at a minimum to keep our agreement active.
These conversations are crucial for our operation and allow us to get a better understanding of how the conversations are going.
The details required are dates of outreach, method of outreach (call,text,email) and details of the final outcome.
If you did send or plan to send samples, please be sure to include the dates the samples are sent and are delivered. Please also include the follow up details on how the retailers felt about the samples.
Having this information will help us determine who the best retailers are for your product and company.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing from you.
After meeting with my team this morning we have come up with the following conclusion that without reporting and communication as stipulated in the agreement, the contract is considered terminated by your company. This is not the outcome that we wanted at the onset of this agreement and we do our best to convey this in our agreement, through this dashboard and conversations early on. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
