Frustrations and learning curves

I have become frustrated as of late because the retailer has not met their end of the agreement. We were asked to provide 80 stores with homecoming mums, we were given a list of the stores wishing to participate in the programs and now we are getting grief from some Managers who are less than excited about putting the homecoming mums out on their floor. Part of the deal was that we would guarantee the mums provided that the manager placed information on their reader board that they have mums. You probably guessed by now, but very few of them have followed through with this either.

I try not to worry about it because there is not much I can do about it right now and I am putting my trust in God and what the outcome will be, but it is difficult. The first homecoming dates will be this Friday and this will hopefully be a good outcome on the sales.

What I have learned so far is to have a better agreement and We will be structuring the deals differently next time.
