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. 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 to be clear. The only leads we have received were the 10 or so leads in one of the messages above. If I am missing anything outside of those, please let me know.
Thanks

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. I see there have been two sample requests submitted and you should have received them in your email. Please be sure to check the spam folder for these requests as well.
Please keep me updated on how your follow up continues with these contacts as well as the sample requests by uploading a report when you’re ready for us to review. You can upload the report directly to this page using the add document button located near the top of the page.
I did see the one come in yesterday. I will check for the other one. I have reached out to the 11 leads you posted above.
Hello,
Thank you for this confirmation. I look forward to seeing the resuls of your follow up to those who’ve requested samples as well as the warm leads.
Quick update. We have only had the two requests for samples which have been sent. Of the 10 or so contacts other than the sample requests, zero have answered calls or emails.
Hello,
Thank you for these updates. Please be sure to keep track of your outreach efforts using the reporting. This is the best way to keep me updated and once we’re able to review these efforts, we can see what steps are needed to move forward. Remember when you’re ready to submit the report, you can simply add it to this page using the add document button located near the top of the page.
Thank you again and I look forward to reviewing the report.
Hello,
Thank you for submitting the report. I see you’re doing the right thing but would encourage you to continue your follow up by phone to ensure no opportunities are missed. Even for our team, it can take 3-5 attempts before getting connected and we recommend phone follow up as email has been underwhelming for sales.
Please keep me updated as your follow up progresses with these contacts and once we see what feedback you receive, we can start discussing our next steps.
Good afternoon,
We have tried to upload the sales document a couple times. I just did it at 1:36pm CST again. Please advise if received.
Thanks
Jason
Hello Jason,
I’ve received the updated report and see you’ve conducted a bit more follow up. We suggest between 3-5 attempts and continue by phone to ensure you’re able to get connected.
Once we see this follow up we can discuss our next steps.
Thank you and have a great weekend.
We resubmitted the spreadsheet again after trying to call and email the leads you all generated. What is our next step?
Hello,
Thank you for these updates. I’ve reviewed the report and see you’ve not been able to get connected after several attempts.
Have you been able to follow up on the samples you’ve sent? if so, what was the feedback you’ve received? Once I have this information, I can have our team follow up on the sample to see if we’re able to retrieve any feedback on your behalf.
In the meantime, I will ask our team to begin their phone introductions and once they’ve completed calls, I will post the results here for you as I’ve done previously. Please let me know if you have any questions on this next round of introduction and I look forward to your reply.
We have tried to reach out to the lead that had requested samples but they have not returned calls or emails so we have zero feedback.
Hello Jason,
Thank you for this update. Please add these follow up details to the report so I can review with our team. We can then use that data to follow up on our end and try to retrieve feedback on your behalf.
Thank you and I look forward to the report updates.
Hello Jason,
I’ve reviewed the report and see you’re doing the right thing and I will ask our team to conduct follow up on the sample you’ve sent to see if we’re able to retrieve any feedback on your behalf.
We will also begin making our phone introductions to more of our retail members and post the results here as we’ve done previously.
During these calls we have the opportunity to conduct a more focused approach and if you have any suggestions on specific geographic areas or types of retailers we should focus on, please feel free to let us know in reply to this message.
Hello,
I hope you’re doing well today and have had a great weekend. Our team have completed their calls and below are a few of the retailers who’ve requested more information. Please feel free to reach out to them and complete the vendor forms as requested.
Alex Food Inc- alexfoodinc@hotmail.com– Alex- (203) 366-9060- 1050 E MAIN ST Bridgeport CT
After speaking with Alex, he’s expressed interest in reviewing more data although they have not yet brought on a CBD line. We’ve emailed the sell sheet.
Ashland Food Coop- jessie@potsdamcoop.com -Jessie -(315) 265-4630 -2268 ASHLAND ST Ashland OR -https://ashlandfood.coop/
Asked to email more information to Jessie for further review. Jessie is the buyer for CBD. We’ve emailed the sell sheet.
Astoria Cooperative- bill@astoria.coop -Bill / Brian Grocery.- brian@astoria.coop– (503) 325-0027 -2350 Marine Dr Astoria OR- https://astoria.coop/connect/vendors/
Asked to send more information via website vendor submission form. This is the only way they review products and request forms be sent in before they’ll review.
Please use this link for submission: https://astoria.coop/connect/vendors/
Please keep me updated on the progress you make with these contacts and have a wonderful rest of your day.

Since it was the holidays I am allowing a few more days for people to return calls and I will add the tracker here in the next couple of days. To date, of the three you were able to make contact with, only one has returned communication. That was Ashland Coop and they only source local CBD and therefore are not interested in our brand.
Hello Jason,
Thank you for these updates and this feedback regarding Ashland food Coop. I will send this to our team and have them update our files accordingly.
Please keep me updated as your outreach progresses as you’ve stated and have a wonderful rest of your day.
Hello,
Thank you for the report. I see that you’re still waiting to get connected with Alex Food and AStori Cooperative. We suggest reaching out by phone a few more times before we consider them to be dead leads. We’ve found email follow up to be underwhelming for sales.
Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your week.
