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.
Have we completed all tasks required?
Hello Roger,
Yes, all of our tasks have been completed. I see we have a call to reivew the program with an additional team member coming up next week and during that call I will confirm our launch date.
Thank you and have a great rest of your day.
Are we comfirmed to start product introdutions this week?
Hello Roger,
Thank you for reaching out. Yes, our introductions are scheduled for tomorrow, 10/11/22 and you will start to receive sample requests as soon as they’re submitted. I will also be posting the warm leads here for you by no later than the end of the week.
Please continue to monitor this page for these results and any other updates from our team.
We hope you are having a good day so far. 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. 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.
We try to make this as easy as possible with templates you can find here: https://mrcheckout.net/sales-report-templates/

Please let me know if you have any trouble reaching them, Keep us updated on your progress.
Follow-up emails were sent 10/17.
Hello Roger,
Thank you for this update and confirmation. I look forward to seeing how your conversation progress and remember we suggest reaching out by phone over email. We’ve found email follow up to be underwhelming for sales and could be ending up in their spam folders. Connecting by phone can ensure no opportunities will be lost and can help create long lasting connections.
Other than the accounts above has anyone else showed interest?
Hello Roger,
At this time, these are the results we’ve received from our blast and once we’re able to see the feedback and sell through you receive from these contacts, we can then discuss moving forward with more introductions to our retail network.
Thank you and have a great rest of your day.
Do you have any closeout customers you work with?
Hello,
Yes, we have contacts within our distributor network who specialize in the closeout markets.
how do we get that information to these customers?

Suggestions?
Hello Roger,
Thank you for reaching out. I’d like to get a better idea of how our outreach has been going thus far. Could you please upload the reporting we discussed. I will review the details with our team and determine what steps may be needed to move forward. We try to make this as easy as possible with templates you can find here: https://mrcheckout.net/sales-report-templates/
Once updated and completed, you can upload the report directly to this page using the add document button located near the top of the page.
Thank you again and I look forward to your reply.
I uploaded the sales report
Hello Sam,
I see you’ve been able to reach out to everyone by email and have recieved one response to no longer contact. We suggest reaching out to the remaining leads by phone to ensure no opportunities will be missed.
We’ve found email follow up to be underwhelming for sales and reaching out by phone to build better relationships. Please note, it can also take 3-5 attempts to get these retailers on the phone. The same is true for our team and we encourage the 3-5 attempts before considering them to be dead leads.
Thank you again for the report and once we see the feedback you receive from the continued follow up, we will discuss next steps.
Hello,
I hope you’re doing well today. Mr. Goldstein has informed me of your recent email and asked me to reach out via the dashboard with our next steps.
I see that my last message requested a few more follow up attempts to ensure no opportunities will be missed with the initial group of retailers who’ve responded to our blast.
If your team has already completed this additional follow up, please feel free to upload an updated report directly to this platform for our team to review. We can then discuss our next outreach’s strategies and focus.
Thank you and let me know if you have any questions.
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.
Hi,There are no updates to the previous quarter report. Thank you,Sam
Hello Sam,
I’d like to get a better idea of how your outreach has progressed since the last report. Could you please update the report with these details for our team to review? This will help us determine our next steps.
Hi,There have been no additional outreach efforts since the last report. Thank you,Sam
Hello Sam,
Thank you for the swift reply. I see you were able to reach out by email to these contacts and unfortunately we know that email follow up can be underwhelming for sales. It’s best to pick up the phone to further try to connect with these retailers. We suggest reaching out between 3-5 times before considering them to be dead leads and once we see this continued follow up and the feedback you receive, we will move forward with next steps.
Thank you again and have a wonderful rest of your week.
Hi,I have passed along this note to our Sales department.
What is the process to get point of contacts for IKEA, Staples, Hobby Lobby, Five Below and others?
Hello Roger,
Thank you for reaching out. In regards to our outreach to the national retail market you’ve mentioned, we begin here within our retail associations to build a strong base. We then take the data generated from those sales to our network of independently owned distributors. During this second phase of outreach, we then take the interest gained from the distributors and pivot to our national chain contacts.
As you may recall from our product education call, we’re looking for the 15-25 retailers to be onboarded from this retail association before we move forward with our distributor network.
Please let me know if you have any further questions and have a wonderful rest of your day.
