Finding Prospects Start With a Retailer Conduct CNA Discuss the estimated cost of your plan • If cost appears beyond reach, suggest enlisting one or more of their manufacturers • Determine what they are willing to give the manufacturer Determine who contacts manufacturer • If you are to make contact get the necessary contact information
Finding Prospects Contact the Manufacturer Arrange a face-to-face meeting (local access). Do not go to corporate. Conduct a CNA. Outline details of your program - emphasize what they will receive Put everything in writing. NO VERBAL AGREEMENTS! At the conclusion of your meeting, ask them if they have any other retail customers with whom they would like to do a program. If yes, ask if they prefer to contact the Retailer or if they want you to. When they indicate they want you to do it, get the contact information.
Finding Prospects Repeat the Process It is not unusual to work 6-12 months out on alternative revenue programs. It will take a year before you start to see meaningful results. It will take 2 years before you will be fully up to speed. It takes time to get comfortable with the culture and language of the alternative revenue world. The more you do it, the faster you get comfortable.
