Rokit Launch

Anyone else received an email from these folks?  Rokit Launch.

They are basically a broker/sales company that coordinates with their chosen distributor in 4 states.  Low margins, high placement fee.  

Wondering about anyone's experience with them.

anyone, Bueller...Bueller...

I've been in discussions with them. 

Still thinking on it.

200 bucks per placement is something to think about.

Yeah, figure total cost to open a retailer is cost of the product + $200 with no guarantee of re-order.

And what is the motivation for the sales team to help generate reorders.  If I sold for them I would only focus on new placements.  You could get lots of distribution, but loss tons of money doing it.  They need to cut that placement amount in half, it would be safer for us and still attractive to the sales team.

Agreed.  It still seems rep-tilian works great for the reps not us so much.
