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.

thanks
I uploaded the states we are not yet registered in. Per Joel’s suggestion, please add those to the sell sheet. Thanks so much
Hello Patrick,
Thank you for sending us the information on the states you’re registered with. I will make sure to send this information to our outreach team as well.
Have a great day and please reach out if you have any questions about our upcoming introductions.
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 that 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.
Thanks so much. I am just seeing this so I will begin to follow up.
Hello,
Thank you for the update and I look forward to seeing the feedback you receive from your outreach.
Have a great rest of your week.
I’m not getting great response from those whom I’ve emailed. i will continue to reach out but my concern is since we are adding distributors currently and they are selling to their stores, we are going to miss the window with Mr. Checkout.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out with this update. I have reviewed the report and see you’re doing the right thing. Please remember that we do suggest phone outreach as email can be underwhelming for sales. You can find the contact information in the provided directory. Here is the link to the directory: https://nihaa.org/directory/.
Please let me know if you have any issues logging in and I look forward to seeing how your outreach progresses.
Ive tried to upload additional contacts that I’ve emailed. Didnt seem to work. Here is the issue. We were told we were going to be put in 20 stores as proof of concept. Have you only done one eblast? if so, there have been little results. My expectation when we signed on was to be paired with distribution. We are signing distributors currently and I would like for you to help us in that end. To be frank. We are a wholesaler. I don’t have time to be calling 100s of retailers. I want to work with Mr. Checkout distributors and have a personal desire to do so since i brought you to our team. It seems to me that the proof of concept is in the distributors relationship with their retailers. Is it possible to set meetings with distributors instead of sending emails to retail? Thanks so much. Looking forward to discussing
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. I understand your position and I’d like to clarify that we are introducing your products to our retailers and from these introductions we’re looking for 15-25 stores to be onboarded with 1-2 turns of product before moving forward to our distributors. We suggest you reach out by phone as well as email to the retailers to ensure no opportunities will be missed as we have found email follow up to be underwhelming for sales.
Please let me know if you have any more questions and I look forward to seeing the feedback you receive from your continued outreach.
Good Afternoon. We are currently creating relationships with distributors and big box stores to sell our product (lonarch). I was expecting a lot more out of Mr. Checkout. I made it clear from the beginning that I do not have the time or inclination to make calls to hardware stores. I am looking for distributors to take on our product based on the current demand for a glyphosate free herbicide and based on scientific data that supports the efficacy of our product. Before I cancel our contract, I would like have a conversation with Joel to see if he is willing to make introductions to distributors. Thank you.
Hello,
I hope you’re doing well today. I have spoken with Mr. Goldstein regarding your request and we will have our outreach team start working on a list of interested distributors for you. If you can please send me a list of distributors you’re working with currently so that our team will avoid them should they be apart of our current network.
I will ask our team to start their calls and once they’ve completed their list, I will post the leads here just as we did previously. You can expect these leads to be posted no later than 11/5/21.
Thank you for reaching out and please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thanks so much for your reply. This is good news. We are currently working with:
Fuller Supply

Hello,
Thank you for the confirmation and we look forward to seeing the feedback you receive.
Have a great rest of your week and remember to keep us updated by uploading an outreach report when you’re ready for it to be reviewed.
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 distributors felt about the samples.
Having this information will help us determine who the best distributors/wholesalers are for your product and company.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing from you.
Good Afternoon,

Please be sure to keep track of all of your outreach in our provided report templates and you can upload them for review directly to this dashboard. 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 distributors that may be a better market fit. This is also one of your roles and responsibilities listed your contract with us.
Thank you and I look forward to seeing the report.
Hi,
Sorry I’m just getting back to you. I appreciate your efforts, but this is not a good fit. I appreciate the attempt to connect with distributors. We are using our connections in the landscaping industry and trade shows to acquire distribution. This is one of those things that requries a face to face interaction and samples. I am cancelling our contract. Do I need to send in another format? Thanks again.
Hello,
Thank you for the quick reply. I’m sorry to hear that you’d like to end our agreement but will notate our files. If you could please, send Mr. Goldstein an offiicial termination notice to joelgoldstein@mrcheckoutdistributors.com.
Thank you for reaching out to us with this update and we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
