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.

Hello Michael,
Thank you for the approval. Our sell sheet is now ready and we can move forward with our outreach.
Please let me know if you have any further questions and have a wonderful rest of your day.
Good Morning,
Is the eBlast scheduled for today?
Hello Michael,
Our blast has been scheduled for today and has been sent out successfully as well. I will begin posting the warm leads from this blast within the next few days and you should start receiving sample requests directly to your email as soon as they are submitted.
Please let me know if you have any further questions and have a wonderful rest of your day.
Thank you, I will let you know if anthing happens.
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.

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.
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.
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.
Hello, yes work is in progress and I can share some details.
First of all was only 2 contacts from the eBlast plus the 7 contacts that you sent us, we contact all of them and send 3 samples as requested, but still no final decision to order, so now we are working on the database, but as we see those are not all the businesses that are interested in selling our product as some of them are producers or services so need to check them before contacting. Also a lot of email addresses are not working as emails are bounced. Working alphabetically state by state (3 states so far).
So far there is no order yet, but we are following up and hope soon we make some progress.
I will prepare an updated spreadsheet with all information at the end of November and email to you. So far I do not have any questions, but will use this portal if I have any.
Hello Michael,
Thank you for reaching out so swiftly with these updates. I look forward to reviewing the report with the details from your follow up with those provided from our blast. As soon as we receive the report, we can determine if our team can follow up on our end to move the conversations forward.
Please be sure to also include those emails who have bounced so that our team can follow up and correct those matters as well.
Thank you again and have a great rest of your week.
Hello,
I wanted to follow up on the requested reporting. Please be sure you’re uploading a report with the details of your follow up so that our team can review and determine our next steps.
Thank you and I look forward to seeing how your conversations have been progressing.

Emailed to account manager:
For the beginning thank you for your patience as it took me a while to put all that information together to have a better view if the problem is on our side.
First of all I would like to thank you for the opportunity to work with you, but also need to express my disappointment about the NRA list as after two months working on it I see that this list is not a perfect fit for our business, please let me explain why in our work we done in 3 steps:
Step 1.
The blast on NRA website was not successful at all as only 2 businesses directly click on blast plus the 7 contacts that you generated from the system, so total 9 contacts. We sent all of them follow-up emails with our offer and made calls for all of them. 3 businesses were only interested and we sent them our product samples to test. After delivery we made additional calls plus additional calls after a while, but the response was that this is not the product that they carry but they will try it and let us know.
Step 2.
As we did not receive any more interest from the blast we prepared and sent an email blast to the 3 first states from the list. (Also need to say that this wasn’t an easy job as our access to the NRA contact list does not allow us to copy any data so we need to copy all emails manually.) About 20% of emails were bounced (not delivered) and there was not even one response, and when we started to call them the most common answer was that “businesses do not sell products” (they are producers, farmers, etc..), “do not carry CBD products”. It’s hard to believe but it was not even a way to ask them to try our product.
Step 3.
But we didn’t give up and after unsuccessful beginning we make some changes to make our offer more attractive and offer just for NRA businesses 20% discount for the first order, 10% discount for the second order with easy to use online order form and concentrate only on one state (California) that we have our representatives (we offer them $100 for each acquired NRA business) and asked them to check which business is selling similar product and visit them directly as well sending all of them from the list the follow-up email with our new offer and made a call. We are right now in the process of this step and as you see we are very determined to make some sales even though we believe that that list does not fit our product.
Please advise if we need to change our strategy or implement any new ideas.
Additionally:
If you would like to have more detailed information about calls response in our Step 1 and 2 I can connect you to the right person, our Chief Sales Officer, Bradley Sterman, 919-985-4490, brad@poutee.com as he made all these calls.
For Step 3 I’m the responsible person as I took this step personally to make sure that we are doing this right.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out and taking the time for this detailed overview. I understand the frustration of not getting sales within the initial introduction, however this is why we ask that you keep us updated so that we can follow up with the retailers on your behalf or continue our introductions by having our team conduct phone outreach for a more personalized approach.
I’d like to get a better idea of how the conversations and follow up progressed with the 9 retailers delivered from our blast. Could you please upload the required reporting with these details directly to the dashboard? I can then review and determine our next steps.
We try to make this as easy as possible with templates you can find here: https://mrcheckout.net/sales-report-templates/
Thank you and I look forward to discussing our next steps.
Hello,
Thank you for the updated report. I see you’ve been doing the right thing with these retailers and I am asking our team to follow up with Drug emporium to see if we’re able to connect and retrieve feedback on your behalf. Once this follow up is completed, we can move forward with our next steps.
Thank you for these updates and I will reach back out on this dashboard once our follow up efforts are completed.
Hello,
Our team has conducted the follow up with Rebecca at Drug emporium and she mentioned not receiving the sample but would be checking with the other managers on staff to see if they’re currently evaluating them.
I asked our team to keep me updated on when she replies however I suggest reaching out again to see if you can get connected.
Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your day.
Hello,
Thank you for update and I just checked the delivery and see only USPS delivery note that was “Delivered, Front Desk/Reception/Mail Room” no pickup person indicated. USPS tracking number 9405511105468803232636
I have one more message for today.
I uploaded a communication report for California State part 1 list that we work on recently. As you can see so far it is totally unsuccessful as all the businesses we contacted are not interested in CBD products, mostly of them are grocery stores, food businesses, producers, farms, businesses that are not selling products or just not selling CBD products.
As I told you, we try hard as you see we put some work on this list and we made some changes to make our offer more attractive. We are offering just for NRA businesses 20% discount for the first order, 10% discount for the second order with easy to use online order form.
Also for our California representatives we offered $100 for each acquired NRA business and asked them to check which business is selling similar products and visit them directly (California list part 2). We are right now in the process of this step (Holiday season is not so good for visiting stores as they are busy with customers).
As you see we are very determined to make some sales even though we believe that that list does not fit our product, but if this step does not work we can’t spend more of our resources for this list.
Please advise if we need to change our strategy or implement any new ideas.
Thank you
Hello Michael,
Thank you for the information regarding the samples you’ve sent to Drug Emporium.
As for your strategies, I see you’re doing the right thing and as we’re still very early on in our introductions, we should continue with the current path forward.
I will ask our team to continue their introductions to more of our retailers by phone and will post the results here for you once they have completed their calls. Please note, we will not be conducting this outreach until after the start of Q1 as we’ve seen a decline in response with the upcoming holiday and end of the year wrap ups.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I will send all of the above delivered details to our team to assist them with their outreach.
Hi,
I totally agree that now is not a good time to approach stores when they are so busy with holiday sales, and we are also closing for Holiday and New Year, so we will continue next year and hopefully we can make some sales.
About the Drug Emporium I asked our CSO Bradley Sterman to contact Rebecca and sort this problem out and let you know the result.
I wish you a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year.
Michael
Hello Michael,
Thank you for the update and confirmation.
Happy holidays and New Year to your team as well! Please keep me updated once you’ve reopened and have attempted to get in touch with Rebecca.
Emailed to account manager:
Good Afternoon Michelle,
Just following up from our last contact. Rebecca from Vitemins Plus did verify they received the samples in October 2022. She has given the product to employees and is asking for feedback, She did say she would call us back shortly. We’ll also followup with her as well if we do not hear back.
Best Regards,
Brad
Hello Brad,
Thank you for these updates. Once we see the feedback from this follow up on the updated reporting we can continue moving forward.
Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your week.
Happy New Year,
I would like to go forward with calling the NRA businesses list, but I have problem to access the list. Can you resend me the link, login and password as my not working anymore as received the message:
Cheatin’ uh? Sorry, you are not allowed to access this site.
Hello Michael,
I have logged you out from our site and you no longer receive the “cheatin” response. This response is caused when you log in after you’ve already been logged in previously. The system will keep you logged in after the first attempt, as long as you have not cleared your computer’s cookies or cache since the last time you’ve accessed the site.
You can now try to log in using the same credentials you have been and should it redirect you after logging in to the main association page, you will simply go back to the directory link and it will either load the page or ask you to log in. If it prompts a log in, do not log in but simply refresh the page.
Here is the link to the directory: https://nutritionretail.com/directory/
Please let me know if you continue to have trouble logging into the page.
Sorry still cant login. This time is:
502 Bad Gateway
Finally I did this, I just login on diferent computer and its working (still not working on my main computer, but its no problem for now).
