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.
Hey Michelle. Would you send me the email blast please. I would like to see it before you send it out. Thank you
Or I am guessing that you are just going to email out the digital sell sheet?
Hello Brian,
Thank you for reaching out. I will email you the sample of our upcoming blast for you to review. Our sell sheet will be linked to the email and all of the information used comes directly from that sell sheet.
Thank you and if you do not see this sample email within the next 2 hours, please be sure you are checking your spam folder as well.
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.

So I have to admit that I am quite disturbed by this. I paid a lot of money for qualifying leads and not only have we left out the majority of my target market by only looking at boutiques and not sports shops, but this eblast has only returned a total of 9 leads.
I have no problem with sales calls and Mr. Checkout’s required reporting- however if I understand your message, you did not even eblast companies that are associated with Mr. Checkout? That makes no sense, I was told that there were 150,000 different gift retailers that are able to be accesed through Mr. Checkout. Even if the eblast only went out to the 5,832 people on your member directory to only have 9 possible leads is still a disturbingly low number.
So my question is, what did I actually pay for? Did I pay for a member directory that I will have to reach out and contact myself (which is fine I get it, nothing is perfect), or did I pay for what I was told Mr. Checkout had wich is the possibilty of reaching almost 200,000 different nationwide business that include my target markets and getting my product in the eyes of buyers nationwide?
I need to clarify the answer so that way I can adjust and plan accordingly for my own business purposes. I was under a different impression on what Mr. Checkout was capable of more than just 9 bridal boutique leads.
Hello Brian,
Thank you for reaching out. I understand that this may not have been the response you had expected however, as we discussed on our call, we begin with an initial introduction to all of our retailers and pass to you who has expressed interest in the line. Mr. Checkout is the parent company and although they may be aware of this, they are receiving information directly from our association and will most likely be more aware of the association name.
I’ve already asked our team to start reaching out to additional retailers for your product and will post additional leads for you here once completed. Please note, we suggest reaching out to all of the provided leads to determine if there may be other opportunities they have in mind for your product.
Please keep me updated as you begin your outreach and please keep an eye on this page for the additional leads mentioned above.
We hope you are having a good week. We’ve been able to reach out with a few retailers who’ve expressed early interest in learning more about your product.
Please feel free to reach out to them by sending an email to introduce yourself and answer any questions they may have.

Hello,
I wanted to send you an update we’ve received on Alison Wholesale. Our email has been returned and although we did verify with the retailer that the email we have is correct, it has still not been able to go through. If we’re able to rectify this issue, I will update you as soon as that is completed. If your follow up email comes back please let me know so that we can determine if this issue is due to their security system, or our own email platform. Additionally, I would suggest reaching out by phone as well, this will help establish a relationship and could lead to better results with the retailer as we’ve found email follow up to be underwhelming for sales.
I have reached out to all the people that you have listed. Mixed results so far. It is all documented in the excel spreadsheet. I have sent out a few samples as well. Generally the majority of the places I have contacted are not interested due to proximity of local fishing spots and or more urban environments. The boutiques are not a great bet until the christmas time frame and most boutiques are really only doing clothes and bags. So it is not going well which I knew would happen because they are not really the target market like I stated last week.
Hello Brian,
Thank you for the update. Could you please send me the excel file you’ve mentioned, I do not see it uploaded to the dashboard. You can add it using the add document button located near the top of the page.
Once I can review the outreach details, we can disucss what may need to be done to move forward.
Thank you and I look forward to your reply.
Ya I will get that in today. I was going through the directory page by page I have changed around some of my search terms in regards to who I contact or spend my time on researching.
Hello,
Thank you for the report. I see you’ve been able to connect with a few of these leads but I see there may have been a mix up on line #25. Did you email Cliff from Fundementally toys, or is Cliff the new contact for Allison wonderland?
Thank you and I look forward to your reply.
Ya there was some confusion on the Allison Wonderland one. I called and spoke to a woman and was given a different location to contact cliff at. I was still unable to get ahold of him, I will try later this week. I did send him an email, but just like the intial email blast I imagine that the majority of emails these businesses are getting are going directly into the spam folder and not being seen.
Hello,
Thank you for the update and clarification. It sounds like you’re off to a good start and I look forward to seeing the feedback you receive from the continued follow up.
Please continue to keep me updated as you have and have a wonderful rest of your day.
So I have come to the conclusion that I need the sporting goods store leads. I have major sales going on in the sporting goods stores outside of your provided directory and frankly just don’t see a point in even trying to contact the leads you have provided.
The toy store and boutique leads you provided might come into play around the Christmas season but for now sporting goods stores and outdoor stores are booming, and that is where I am focusing my sales.
So I have submitted my call log and hopefully Mr. Checkout can provide me with a sporting goods directory.
Hello Brian,
Thank you for this updated report. I see you’re still working on getting connected with a few of these contacts and I suggest continued follow up to ensure no opportunities will be missed.
I will ask our team to start working on a push in the sporting goods association once we see this continued follow up.
Thank you again and have a wonderful rest of your day.
Mam,
I just sold $ 10,000 worth of product in prep for the christmas season. I will not be folllowing up with these onsey twosy shops, they can follow up with me. My product has never been seen before in an over a $700 million dollar a year industry. Lol it is hitting big time and if mr. Checkout wants to be a part of that then cool if not then I just got scammed out of my money.
Get me the leads that will actually sell.
Hello Brian,
I’m happy to hear that you’ve been doing well. In regards to our program and our path forward, I’d be happy to bring on more opportunties within our association after we see the continued follow up and feedback you’ve received from the samples you’ve been able to send out.
Please continue to keep me updated and once we see the feedback from this continued outreach, we’ll then move forward with more outreach.
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.
