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.
Test
Hello,
I hope you’re doing well today. Our E-blast has successfully launched and unfortunately did not yield the results we had hoped for. We understand this can be typical this time of year and have decided to revisit our outreach starting after Q1. We’ve seen a decline in interest across all markets and our contacts have asked us to reach out when they’re better prepared to review new products.
We will resume our outreach efforts starting after the new year and I’ll be updating you as soon as our team has a tentative delivery date for these leads.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I hope you have a great rest of your week.
Thank you, that is what I was thinking being so close to the holiday. Thank you

Hi Michelle-
I just wanted to check in to see what the plans are for resending out the Respiratory Detox Supplement information to the Natural Grocers, since we did not get a good response the first time? Any update would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards-
Karen
Hello karen,
Thank you for reaching out. Our team has resumed their outreach and they are currently working on completing their calls. Once I have an expected delivery date for this next round of outreach, I will reach out to you with this update via the dashboard.
Thank you again for reaching out and let me know if you have any questions.
Any update?
Hello Karen,
Thank you for reaching out. After a meeting with our team, we determined that an reintroduction to our association would be best and we’ve scheduled this blast to launch today. I’ve been able to pull some of the results from this blast but will be posting them here for you no later than end of day tomorrow. Please continue to check this page regularly for any updates and communication from our team and let me know if you have any questions.
Hello,
Our team has received additional interest from our e-blast and I’ve added the contact’s emails for you below. Please feel free to start reaching out as these are some of the people that have shown interest by clicking to learn more about the line through the eblast, however they did not enter their information in the lead form once they landed on the sell sheet. Please keep detailed communication notes while you are reaching out as they may not all be a good fit for your product line. Please note that the contacts were contacted through the retail association and are not familiar with our company Mr. Checkout.
To find further contact information for these contacts, you can simply add the email to the search bar located on our provided member directory. Here is a link to your directory for your convenience: https://independentgrocerassociation.com/directory/

Have a great rest of your day.
I went to click on the link to the directory and they are not working
Hello,
I apologize for the error, here is the link for your convenience: https://independentgrocerassociation.com/directory/
I click o the directory but it is taking to log in page, but when I log in there is no directory. Can you forward a new working link today?
Hello Karen,
I’m sorry you’re having difficulty with our directory. Here is the link to our directory and I’ve also gone into the system to log you out internally which should help with your next attempt. https://independentgrocerassociation.com/directory/
Please let me know if you have any further issue.
It is making me log in but there is no directory. The last link just took me straight there.
Best Regards-
Karen
Hello Karen,
I apologize for the delay in response, have you been able to access the directory since this previous comment? If not, please let me know so that I can assist further. Additionally, I’d like to check in and see how your outreach has progressed with the leads posted on 2/3/22. 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.
I will send an update by next week. We received 13 names sent emails and no reposenses.
Hello Karen,
Thank you for the update. I do suggest reaching out by phone as well as email. We’ve found email follow up to be underwhelming for sales. We’ve also provided the directory access for you to be able to find additional contact information for these leads. Here is the link to the directory for your convenience: https://independentgrocerassociation.com/directory/
Thank you and I look forward to seeing how your conversations progress with these contacts.

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.
