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.
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.
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.
Good evenining,
I hope all is well.
I’m currently drafting communications for these retailers and will send over the template later this week.
Kind Regards,
Innocent
Hello Innocent,
Thank you for this update and I look forward to seeing the feedback you receive from your follow up. Please remember to keep me updated on how our conversations progress by uploading the reporting template to our dashboard when you’re ready for us to review these details.
Good morning,
I just uploaded the Leads tracker.
Thank you,
Innocent
Hello Innocent,
Thank you for the update. I see you’re doing the right thing and we encourage you to reach out by phone after your first email unless otherwise requested. Email follow up can be underwhelming for sales and if after the 3-5 attempts have been made you’re still unable to get in touch with the retailers, we understand that may be their answer.
I’ve also received additional interest from our blast and these are other retailers who have clicked to learn more about your product. Please add them to your current outreach efforts and keep me updated on how your conversations progress.

At the point, I’m not really getting the feedback that I had hoped.
I wanted to touch bases with you to see if we should try a different approach?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. I’d be happy to discuss strategies but will need to see how the conversations have been going thus far. Could you please upload a new report showing who you’ve spoken with and the feedback you’ve received? Please also include if you’ve not been able to get in touch with so that we can attempt our follow up as well.
Once I’m able to review these details, it will help me assist you further. Thank you and I look forward to seeing the report.

Hello,
Thank you and please keep me updated by uploading a report when you are ready for our team to review how your conversations have been going.
Thank you again and have a wonderful rest of your day.
Good morning,
I have attached a copy of the leads tracker. We ran out of stock and won’t have any available for another 12-14 weeks, so would you recommend that we continue reaching out to retailers or pause?
Hello,
Thank you for these important updates. I suggest reaching out to the leads provided to ensure no opportunity is missed and advising them about delivery time during your conversations.
In regards to our team’s outreach, We will postpone any further introductions until we hear from you that the stock has been replenished.
Thank you and I look forward to seeing how your continued follow up progresses an remember to follow up by phone as we’ve found email follow up to be underwhelming for sales.
Sounds great and will do
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.
Hello,
I wanted to circle back and see what the inventory status for your line is at this time. Please feel free to reach out with any updates you have regarding the line or if more time is needed, please provide an updated timeline for when we can continue forward.
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.
