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,
Is the introduction email blast still on schedule for tomorrow?
Thanks,
Vlad
Hello,
I hope you’re doing well today. Yes, our introductions will begin tomorrow and once we’ve collected the data generated from that outreach, we will post the results on the dashboard. You can expect to see these results no later than the beginning of next week.
Thank you and have a great rest of your day.
Hello,
I hope you’re doing well today. Our outreach has been going well and below are a few retailers who have expressed early interest in learning more about your product line. Please feel free to reach out to them and discuss product details as as well as arranging samples. Please keep detailed communication notes while you are reaching out. 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.

Please let me know if you have any trouble reaching them, Keep us updated on your progress.
PS For the future – please copy-paste the exact response from the retailers as the interpretation that you’ve shared “Leo Requested more information as well as pricing.” creates ambiguity.
Thanks for understanding.
We’ll follow with them
Thank you!
Hello,
Thank you for the confirmation and I look forward to seeing the feedback you receive as your outreach progresses. I believe Leo did express interest in receiving more information such as a catalog as well as pricing for your products.
Please remember to keep me updated as you start receiving feedback and have a great rest of your day.
Hello,
I wanted to reach out and let you know that we’ve received the email correspondence with Leo from Adventure pets and I’d like to apologize as we believe this retailer is not a good fit for your company as well as our program. We’ve removed him from our database and will no longer be working with them as of today. Please disregard Adventure pets from your outreach and we’ll be working on a replacement lead for you and should have the new contact for you by tomorrow.
We apologize again and have a great rest of your night.
Hello,
As discussed, we’ve contacted another lead for you and I’ve added the details below:
Auggie’s Doggies- Audrey- info@auggiesdoggies.com– 954-830-4730 Main Office, 1515 SW First Ave., Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33315- https://auggiespetsupplies.com/
Asked to send more information to Audrey for further review and consideration. We’ve emailed the sell sheet. – I advise that you reach out with your introductory email to introduce yourself and offer to send over any information they would be interested in reviewing.
Hi Michelle,
So far we have received very few responses, none of which has lead us to getting the orders.
Is there anything else we could do here to inspire retailers to get in touch with us?
What other tools do you guys have to help us grow?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. I’d like to get an idea of how your outreach has been progressing. Could you please send me an updated report showing the details of your outreach?
I’ve also received a few more contacts from our E-blast to share with you. The first contact has requested a sample and I’ve added her contact info below.

Below are retailers who reviewed your sell sheet but did not fill out a form to receive samples. We’d suggest reaching out with an introductory email to answer any questions they may have as well as try to set up samples.

dogdazebakery@aol.com
bmeehan@jmpetresort.com

Please add these contacts to your current outreach and remember to upload a report for our team to review.
We hope you’re doing well. Would you mind sending me the reports on the leads we sent over. As we discussed on our product education call, we require communication reporting every quarter at minimum. This helps us get a better understanding of how the conversations are going and if they are or are not a good fit for your product. Once we receive this information, we can then follow up on our end as to why it wasn’t a good fit and then regroup and find the retailers that may be a better market fit. This is also one of your roles and responsibilities listed your contract with us.
We try to make this as easy as possible with templates you can find here: https://mrcheckout.net/sales-report-templates/
Please make sure to include if the retailer decided it was not the right fit so that we will be able to regroup and try to find the right retailers to make a better market fit.
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.
Two things about this project:
1. We have paid an upfront deposit and got nearly nothing in return. The basic digital sheet you created obviously didn’t make any effect on the IRPA members. Besides, the fee to join the IRPA as a vendor is almost a quarter of what we have been charged by Mr.C.
Anyway, none of IRPA members, who we tried to contact had responded back to us.
The only response we’ve received so far was the complaint, which you advised us to ignore.
2. The IRPA database does not contain almost a single working email address. Neither it has names (again, except very few) or phone numbers.
Overall, I don’t believe this project is benefitial to us in any extent, so I see two options of how we should move forward: a) you return our deposit and we terminate our relationship; b) you start doing the distributor’s job and make proper introductions both to IRPA members and federal retail, where we are mostly interested in establishing relationship with one retailer – PetSmart.
Need your decision asap.
Thanks – Vlad
Hello Vlad,
Thank you for reaching out with this update. I see that the last update you shared mentioned you were not receiving responses from the leads we’ve sent over and we then requested more information about your outreach so that we could follow up on our end to see where the disconnect may be. Could you please send me that report so that I can review it with our team? We try to make this as easy as possible with templates you can find here: https://mrcheckout.net/sales-report-templates
Additionally could you please include the contacts that you have found who have contact information needing to be updated? I’d like to have our team investigate these and update our directory as soon as possible. We do know that contacts for these retailers can change quite frequently and that is why we refer to our directory as a breathing list.
Once I receive the requested reporting, I will review it with our team and discuss a path forward. Thank you again for reaching out and I look forward to your reply.
I don’t think it’s going to work like this. I am asking for a particular action from your side because no of no activity and you respond with a request for the report of my actions.
The is an inverted vendor-distributor relationship. Besides, I see no value of what you are bringing to the business (or should I rather say – sponsorship) relationship that we have established.
As to the database correcttions – they are too massive to share. Over 80% of emails on that “database” are either support@, info@, order@ or other similar types of emails, which never ever will put any vendor in connection with the retailer’s purchasing or product management teams.
I am repeating my strong request for you to either start doing distributor’s job and connect us with the retailers we’d like to be talking to (PetSmart), or cancel the contract follwed by the return the deposit we placed.
Hello Vlad,
We request reporting from your team in order to apply the feedback you’ve received to our continued outreach. If you’ve had trouble getting in touch with our retailers, this is the data that I’m requesting to review with our team. We can then conduct follow up on your behalf and find where the disconnect may be. The reporting is also a requirement of our program as stated in our agreement as well as throughout our onboarding process. Please send me the details of your outreach, regardless of outcome, so that we can determine a path forward.
As you may remember from our early conversations, our associations are made up of mostly small to mid size independent retailers and we’re looking for the first 15-25 stores to be onboarded before moving forward with outreach to distributors or wholesalers.
I’m sorry this is not the business model you may have envisioned. If you would like to terminate our agreement prematurely, please send a termination notice email to Mr. Goldstein at joelgoldstein@mrcheckoutdistributors.com. Unfortunately, we will not be refunding the initial fee as this is a non refundable onboarding and set up fee to cover the time and resources of our staff. I’m sorry that this is not the outcome that you envisioned, we try to make our deliverables clear in our agreement, through the dashboard and conversations early on. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
Perfectly conducted scam. Standing applause.
Took our money, done a job of a 20 dollar freelancer, provided no support or valuable information. And now you are cinically saying forget about the money, goodbye. Bravo!
I will write a termination email, that’s for sure. I will also write several other emails. Not saying goodbye yet
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.
