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 receive a sample of 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.

Please let me know if you have any trouble reaching them, Keep us updated on your progress.
I’ve reached out to everyone so far. I haven’t heard back from anyone yet. Whats typically the average response rate?
Hello,
Thank you for this confirmation and I’d like to get a better idea of how your outreach has been so far to determine what steps may be needed to move forward.
When tracking the details of your follow up, please use our provided reports. We try to make this as easy as possible with templates you can find here: https://mrcheckout.net/sales-report-templates/
Emailed to account manager:
Here’s the sheet I’ve made to track the leads: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P-krXgOi_KFs0NUiXu2OlX-COVPrW04lW8EqLxAiUnU/edit?usp=sharing
Also here’s the message I’ve been sending for the initial outreach:
“Thanks for showing interest in Solely Jane Wholesale [name of client]
Let me introduce myself, my name is Connor and I’m the CMO of Solely Jane. I’m excited to discuss our wholesale opportunities with you!
Solely Jane shoes are perfect for:

If you have more questions feel free to respond and we can set up a call to discuss in person!”
We have had 1 person respond but the just asked to be reached out to in January.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out with these updates. I do see that you’ve notated the retailers were all contacted, however please remember to add in the dates and methods of your outreach. Once we’re able to see what feedback you’re able to obtain with these retailers, we can then discuss having our team follow up on our end. We’ll need the details of your outreach to use when we make our calls.
In regards to the retailers reply, we understand you may come across this as they are busy moving their current inventory and going to focus on their budgets for the upcoming year.
Please continue to keep me updated on how your follow up progresses and if you’re still unable to post to the dashboard, I would suggest clearing your computer’s cookies/cache. If these steps do not work, please feel free to email me directly as you have.
I’ve updated the sheet for the date and methods
Hello,
Thank you for the updates. I see you’ve reached out to all of these contacts by email but we also suggest conducting your follow up by phone to ensure no opportunities will be missed. We’ve found email follow up to be underwhelming for sales as your emails could be going to their spam folders.
Please continue to reach out to these retailers by phone and keep me updated as your conversations progress.
Sounds good. Do you have any best practice for messaging that gets better responses?
Hello,
Mr. Goldstein created a pretty comprehensive guide on follow-up strategies and what’s worked for us in the past. Here’s a link to download that if you’d like to check it out: https://mrcheckout.net/Follow-up_Strategy.pdf
When is the plan for your team to start calling potential leads?
Hello,
We’d be happy to have our team move forward with more outreach but we’d like to see how your follow up has progresses with the already delivered leads so far. I see from my last comment that some phone follow up was suggested. If you’ve completed this follow up, please add these details to the reporting for our team to review and determine our next steps.
Thank you and I look forward to your updates.
I’ve done another round of out reach and haven’t had any luck with responses. I’ve updated the sheet.
Hello,
Thank you for these updates. I will have our team continue their introductions by reaching out by phone to our retailers. Once they’ve completed their calls, I will post the results here for you as we’ve done before. Please continue to monitor this page for these results as well as for updates and communication from our team.
Thank you again and have a wonderful rest of your week.
Hello,
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.

Please keep us updated on how your outreach is going. We try to make this as easy as possible with templates you can find here: https://mrcheckout.net/sales-report-templates/. You can upload this reporting directly to the dashboard for review.
Thank you and have a great day.
For sure reason my last messages didn’t send. I reached out to all of these leads 2/16/2023.Update 2/23/23 *no responses from any.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out with these updates and I’m sorry your message did not post to our dashboard. I’m happy to hear you’ve been able to reach out and would like to see the details of your follow up to determine how our team can assist further.
The best way to keep me in the loop is to update the reporting and add it back to this page for us to review. Once received, I’ll review with the team and reach back out with our suggestions or path forward.
Any update? Whats the next steps? It’s a little frustrating that we haven’t had a single sale with you guys.
Hello,
I understand however I see from our notes that our team had some good conversations with the retailers we’ve provided and I’d like to see the feedback you’ve been able to receive from your follow up.
Once we’re able to review these details, we can discuss what steps are needed to continue moving forward.
I’ve followed up will all of them and not a single one has responded. When we were initially pitched we were told that your team handles everything besides processing the orders but then after getting onboarded we were told we’d have to do all the follow up and selling. I’ve followed up with every lead multiple times and have had maybe 1 response total.
Hello,
I understand that you’ve not been able to get a reply from these retailers however we’d like to see the follow up details to conduct our own follow up as well. Please add the details of your follow up to the reporting and I will review with our team to determine our path forward.
It’s been updated.
Hello,
Thank you for the updated report. I see you’ve emailed these retailers however we suggest reaching out by phone as well. We’ve found email follow up to be underwhelming for sales as your messages could be ending up in their spam folders instead of their inboxes. Please continue your follow up by phone and if after a few attempts, you’re unable to connect, please let me know so we can discuss our path forward.
Thank you again and have a wonderful rest of your day.
This is not the service I was told I was getting and paid for. Mr Checkout was pitched to me that you’d contact the leads and sell them on our product not that you’d just get leads and then leave eveything else up to us. If all you are going to do is provide leads then I’d want a full refund.
Hello,
I am unsure where the disconnect may have been as our team is not a sales force and we do our best to review our deliverables throughout our onboarding documents as well as our product education call.
We conduct outreach by email and phone to introduce the line to our retailers and once we receive interest in reviewing further and receiving samples, we share that information with you to continue the conversations by connecting one on one.
I’m sorry that this is not the outcome that you envisioned, however I’m happy to move our team forward with more outreach once we see the feedback you obtain from your phone follow up.
Go back and listed to the call with the sales rep we talked to. We specifically asked confirming that all the out reach AND sales would be taken care of by your team.If this is the extent of what you’re team is doing I would like a refund and cancel.
Hello,
I’m unsure of which sales representative you’re speaking of as your calls were conducted with first, Mr. Goldstein prior to signing our agreement and once we began our onboarding, it was with myself, your account manager. Although I was not on the call with the president of the company, Mr. Goldstein, I do know that during our call we discussed exactly what steps we would be taking and what roles and responsibilities our team would take on. This is also outlined within our path to market documents and agreement.
I’m sorry for any disconnect however it also does state in our agreement that the initial $2500 fee is for set up and onboarding and is non refundable.
If you’d still wish to terminate our agreement prematurely, please confirm and I will notate our files accordingly.
Mr Goldstein was the one we talkd to.
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.
I told you we’ve reached out to everyone multiple times and I updated the sheet and we haven’t had any responses
Hello Connor,
I see from the report that you’ve reached out to everyone in December and only by email. Did you reach out by phone as well? We’ve found email follow up to be underwhelming for sales and as your emails could have landed in their spam folders, this could be why you’ve not received a reply. If you have reached out to them by phone, please be sure to add that information to the report.
As it has now been quite some time since our initial introductions, I would suggest reaching out to them to reintroduce yourself and the product line. Once we see the feedback you receive from those contacts delivered in February, we can discuss moving forward again with more introductions.
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.

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.
