See every account you’re courting, and which buyers went quiet
The buyer from a 14-store grocery chain stopped at your booth at the regional show and took a sell sheet. A deli owner emailed on Sunday asking about your preserves. A café group wants a shelf of your goods by the register. Put each one on the board the day it happens: the account, the buyer’s name, what they tasted, and which rep is following up. Name the stages the way your team already talks: New account, Samples sent, Pricing out, Order confirmed.
Each card carries the amount of the opening order you priced, so you can see what’s out and what it adds up to. The $24,600 opening order for Fairbourne Market that hasn’t heard back in six days is right there, with the buyer’s tasting notes on the card when you call. So is the gift shop chain that got your holiday pricing eleven days ago and hasn’t answered.
Your price sheet still goes out from the tools you use today. Scoped holds the amount, the notes, and the history, so the follow-up doesn’t depend on which rep remembers the show.
Next Tuesday. The deli that emailed on Sunday has samples on the way by Tuesday, and the quiet grocery account has “Call the buyer” set as the next step on its card before lunch.
