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.
Testing
Kathy Kuderer at Down a Country Road was the respondent who contacted me directly and on your list.
With this small reponse do you feel the AGBRA gift shop category may not be a good fit and we should send another email blast to the INRA nutrient category?
Hello,
I am first sending a sample and counter top display box with sales sheet before reaching out with tracking number to the 5 contacts from the email blast to the 5000+ members of the Association of Gift Boutique Retailers of America. How do you expect to find and provide us the 25-50 additional AGBRA members to perform the test market?
Hello Michelle,
The samples already went out by fulfillment so when I receive the tracking numbers I will phone them. You did not perform the email blast?

Hello Michelle,
Regarding Mr. Checkout’s email to AGBRA members and their request for samples, Sock Dreams email address is different than the one you provided so they couldn’t have clicked on a link. Nevertheless Sock Dreams are interested and all but Down a Country Road (closed in winter) requested I phone back for the third time this next week (week of March 28) to speak to the owners about purchasing for a test market so will do another round of call to those 4 before our 12 PM conference call on Wed March 30. Again 5 cold calls to AGBRA leads are an insufficient data set for the 25-50 that Joel Goldstein said would be used for a test market.

Hello Michelle,
Can we change tomorrow’s March 30 phone call from noon to 4 PM.
I am with the US Patent Office all day today and before I can make a sale on the next round of calls I will need to have the gift shop’s sales certificate and their payment by credit/debit card or through Zelle or Venmo. The 5 gifts shops are -1 to -3 hours behind my time zone. Shop hours are not until after 10 AM local time and plan to phone and process orders between noon and 3 PM tomorrow March 30.

Hello Michelle,
4:30 ECT works great for me. Speak to you then.

Hello Michelle,
Is there any way for NouvEau to send your email blast directly to small businesses in my community who are not affiliated with AGBRA https://agbra.org/featured-item/wine-health-boost/. If they request a sample and I make a sale it will be included in your data base. I will be contacting the last party of the 5 on your list, Panache’ Aromatique in Arkansas, later today. Thank you, Tom Peyton
Hello Michelle,
Looking forward to the additional leads. You misunderstood my question. I wanted to know if I could send the email blast directly from NouvEau? Tom Peyton
Thank you Michelle,
These leads sound great and will followup with samples and communications Wednesday to Friday.

Hello Michelle,
Uploaded status to date. Contacted 3 who were interested and sent 5 sample packs to follow through on sales calls after receipt, week of April 11. Incidentally, several said they were not contacted by anyone about Wine Health Boost and had not received sales sheet by email and in 2 cases emails were wrong.
I am offering 20% discount off wholesale for AGBRA test market. As Joel said we need 25-50. Could you please provide more leads/respondents in the Gift Shop category. 5 a week is very slow and be best to have 50 now to get as many on board as soon as possible for the distributor data base.
Thank you,
Hello Michelle,
Of the last 5 leads April 4 all but one received samples as of yesterday April 13 and I sold another three 6 packs to Galley Kitchen in Chico, CA; the 4 remaining are very busy with Easter and to resume next week. This is moving very slow and need 50 leads or a new email blast to AGBRA/INRA.
Tom Peyton
Do you have 25-50 more leads?
