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 message
Just want to confirm that the E-blast went out today?
Hello,
I hope you’re doing well today. Our introductions have begun and you can expect to see the results from our outreach no later than early next week.
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.
I sent an email to each of those five contacts and all but the Akridge Farms emails are not real emails. I will try to reach out via phone today.
Hello,
Thank you for the update. Could you please explain what you mean when you say “not real emails”? Our emails have been delivered to these addresses and if yours are not being delivered, I’d like to check with our outreach team.
Thank you and remember to keep me updated on your outreach by adding these outreach details to the reporting templates we provide. You can then upload the report anytime you’re ready for the data to be reviewed.
This was the message forwarded to me when I sent an email out 4 of the 5 stores.
Address not found
Your message wasn’t delivered to leekathrine@blochsfarm.com because the address couldn’t be found, or is unable to receive mail.
Hello,
I’m sorry for the inconvenience and delay in response. I’ve asked our team to investigate why our emails have gone through to the above provided emails.
Could you send me the 4 that have been returned?
I’d also like to note that your emails could have been returned due to internal spam blocking system and our team would not have any way of correcting that issue. We would advise that you follow up by phone and discuss the product details and possibly get an alternative email address that would allow you to receive the information.
Thank you for reaching out and I look forward to your reply.
These three said that address were not real.

fredsfeed@lcom.net
leekathrine@blochsfarm.com
This one said that it was block so it might be the spam blocker on this one.

Hello,
Thank you for this information and I will pass it to our team to look into. Please keep me updated as your outreach continues with these contacts by phone too.
Thank you and have a great rest of your day.
Hello,
I hope you’re doing well today. I’ve received more interest from another retailer within the association and ask that you add them to your current outreach efforts.
Hometown Hardware & Gen Store- snhardware@yahoo.com– (252) 826-0191- 1023 Main St Scotland Neck NC
This retailer has reviewed your sell sheet but did not fill our the sample request form. We suggest reaching out with an email to introduce yourself, discuss product details and offer to send out a small sample.
Please let me know if you have any questions and have a great rest of your day.
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.
I uploaded the sheet above where it said add document. Please let me know if I need to send it somewhere else.
What we are seeing with a lot of nurseries is that this is a slow time of year for them so we will try to reach out to all of them again in January when they are prepping for spring season.
Hello Michael,
Thank you for the updated report. I have reviewed it and agree that it would be best to reach out after the start of Q1. We are also seeing the same decline in interest to review new products due to the holiday season along with the closeout of the year.
Please keep me updated when you do resume your outreach and have a happy holiday season.
Hi just wanted to see if you guys had more leads. We have exhausted more of these leads and waiting on a couple responses but wanted to see if you have anymore from your email blast.
Hello,
I hope you’re doing well today and thank you for reaching out. I’d love to see how your outreach has progressed. Please send me an updated report showing the continued outreach and I will review that data with our team. Once we are able to review, we can discuss our path forward with another round of outreach.
Thank you and I look forward to your reply.
Hello,
Thank you for the updated report and it looks like you’ve been doing the right thing. I suggest following up with Hometown Hardware and General Store in a few weeks to see if it would be a better time to review the product line. In regards to Akridge Farm Supply, did they express that they were interested in the product line even though the shipping, to them, was too high? Did they give any other feedback?
I will ask our team to start conducting more outreach for your product line and send you the lead information here, just as I did previously. Please be sure to check this page regularly for these leads and any other updates and communication that may come from our team.
Thank you. I will continue to reach out to a couple of those stores that you have mentioned above. We are coming up with a little bit smaller starter pack that will allow stores to trial us easier.
Hello,
I look forward to seeing the results you get from the continued follow up as well as the trial pack.
Have a great rest of your week.

I added the Q1 Leads Report. I will be doing more follow up with the stores in the coming week. We were only able to email the stores because of how busy we are been. Still no luck with any of the stores.
Hello,
Thank you for this update and I look forward to seeing the results you recieve from your continued follow up.
Thank you and have a great rest of your day.
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.
