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.
I’ve also asked our team to continue the introductions to more of our retailers and will be posting the results of their calls here once they’re completed.
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.

Hello,
Thank you for these updates. I see you’re off to a good start with these new contacts and have reached out to everyone by email. Please continue to keep me updated as your follow up progresses and remember that persistence will be key with these contacts. Even for our team it can take 3-5 attempts before getting in touch with them and we also suggest phone follow u over email to ensure no opportunities will be missed.
Thank you again for the updates and I look forward to seeing how your follow up progresses.
Hello,
I hope you’re doing well today. I’ve reviewed the latest report and see you’ve gotten a bit more feedback regarding the label. I understand the branding may not be a perfect fit for every retailer and we’ll try to use that feedback when conducting our next round of outreach.
In the meantime, I still suggest reaching out by phone to the remaining contact to ensure no missed opportunities. I would also follow up on those contacts who’ve been sent the information from their employees to ensure they may not have any further questions.
Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your day.
Hey.. have your received any more leads..? we are not hearing anymore feedback..
Hello Arjun,
Thank you for reaching out and I hope you’re doing well today. I would be happy to discuss our next steps and would like to review how your phone follow up has been progressing to get an idea of how we should move forward.
Please upload the updated report to the dashboard so I can review further with the team.
Hello Arjun,
Thank you for reaching out with this updated report. I see you’ve been able to email both Red Hot Tiki and Rain Tree and we would suggest reaching out to them by phone to ensure no opportunities will be missed. Please keep me updated as you get connected by phone and we will discuss next steps if you’re still unable to get connected.
Please note, it may take 3-5 calls before getting to the right person and with the holiday season upon us, this can be a difficult time to connect.
Thank you and I look forward to your continued updates.
Spoke to Robin – she said she will get back if interested. sent her the email again with all info.
Spoke to Chris – he said that he was never interested in the product and is not adding to the sauces at this time.
Hello Arjun,
Thank you for this update. Please add the details of this follow up to the provided reporting.
I will ask our team to move forward with more introductions however our team has postponed our calls until after the start of Q1 as we’ve seen a decline in response from most of our retailers. This is typical this time of year and we’ve found that we receive a better outcome after the retailers have established their budgets for the upcoming year.
I will post the results of our outreach once completed here of your as I’ve done previously. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your week.

Hello,
Our team has completed their calls and below are a few retailers we’ve connected with who’ve expressed early interest in reviewing the line further. Please feel free to reach out to them and introduce yourself and offer to answer any questions they may have about the line.

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.
