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.
This is a test!
Got it! Thanks!
Hi Michele.
I am just checking to see if we are still on track to launch tomorrow 6.15. I do not see a copy of the press release in the dashboard. Am I just missing it?
Thanks!
Hi! I apologize for my delayed response! I just uploaded the sale spreadsheet. I hope to upload weekly!
I am hoping to get a copy of the email that was sent out with our Sell Sheet. I do not see it in the documents on this dashboard, nor have I received an email.
As I am contacting people to follow up, they are under the impression that they will receive a sample. I did not know that was the expectation, so seeing the email that was sent should help tremendously!!!
I apologize for the delay in uploading the sales report! I just did so now. As you will see, I have been following up, unfortunately with no results.
I plan to continue to reach out to these folks (until I get a yes or no), but I also wonder if we could discuss another category of retail stores, such as Natural Food Stores? Or, do you have something else mind?
Thanks!

Hi!
I uploaded an updated sales report. You will see that I closed out a few leads today – some are not interested. The others that I closed out today I have no information other than an email address. I tried to find additional information on the Member Directory, but the email addresses are not on the list.
I am anxious to try another market.
Thanks, and have a great weekend.
Melani
Thanks so much! I actually just received a request for a sample! Did you, by chance, resend the Sell Sheet email?
Thanks!
Melani
Thank you for the leads! I will reach out today!
Also, I have uploaded an updated Sales Report. I sent introduction emails to 106 contacts/emails from the NIHAA Directory. As you will see, a disappointing 40 of them (37%) are either bad email addresses or blocked. How often are the directories updated?
Thanks.

Hi!
I just uploaded an updated Sales Report. Good News – we had 1 purchase!!!
I still have a few more folks to follow up in the next few weeks. Otherwise, I will be calling people back in spring/summer.
At this point, I think I have exhausted all potentials on the Independent Hardware list. I am very anxious to start working another list. What other market do you and the team have in mind?
Thanks, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hi!
There are only 6 potential leads (not including the few who have asked for follow up in several months). I can certainly follow up with them and start on a new list. Waiting to start working another list until I get responses from these few leads does not make sense. I feel it is only wasting time.
Now is a perfect time to reach out to reach out to Natural Food Stores! The new year is a popular time for clean eating, as well as “spring” cleaning and organizing your home. Our products are perfect for all of this! Reaching out now will give the retailers a chance to get our products in their stores for the new year.
Thank you.
Melani
Thanks for the response! I certainly understand not reaching out at this time, as it is a busy time for retailers!
Thanks again, and have a great holiday season!

Hello and Happy New Year!
I am anxious to start reaching out to Natural Food Stores, as this is a great time of year for our product line! Please let me know when you have a list ready.
Thanks!
Melani
Thanks! I sent emails with additional information asking if I can send a sample.
