work until the effort is complete – no matter how long it takes. The handlers are sustaining themselves on military rations (MREs) and hot water; the dogs are being fueled by Nutro Natural Choice.

Approach and presentation
Approach = Number of times a Pet Nutrition Specialist intercepts a consumer and initiates the NUTRO® Products Presentation. This includes both approaches that result in a presentation and approaches that do not result in a presentation.
Presentation = The Pet Nutrition Specialist must approach, qualify, recommend and close (ask for sale) the consumer.
![Page 37: Revised 2010 Q1 Meeting](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061110/54532387af7959c07f8b6087/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
New Conversion definition
CONVERSION = A Conversion is when a customer who is currently using another brand of dog or cat food decides to purchase a NUTRO® dry food product with your assistance during your demo.
A conversion is defined as the number of brands converted in that household. Dog and Cat brand conversions are counted separately. Example: You convert two NATURAL CHOICE® Brand Dog bags of different formulas, one ULTRA™ Brand Dog bag, and one MAX® CAT Brand bag. Your reported number of conversions would be 2 NATURAL CHOICE® Brand Dog, 1 ULTRA™ Brand Dog, and 1 Max® CAT Brand. There is no longer a limit to 2 per household.
Note: If you convert two or more bags of the same brand and formula (regardless of size) you should report 1 brand conversion.
![Page 38: Revised 2010 Q1 Meeting](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061110/54532387af7959c07f8b6087/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Tracking sales
GREENIES® Brand Sales• Canine = one sale per package including singles• FELINE GREENIES® treats = one sale per
package• PILL POCKETS® treats one per package
NUTRO® Product Add-ons = Cans, biscuits, pouches, flex trays and treats are counted separately from conversions, as sales.
• one can = one sale, 24 cans = 24 sales• one package of treats = one sale• one box of biscuit = one sale• one pouch or flex tray = one sale
![Page 39: Revised 2010 Q1 Meeting](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061110/54532387af7959c07f8b6087/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Additional sales opportunities
• Other Pet = Once a first conversion is made, it is the attempt to ask about “other pets” in the household. Maximize your conversions!
• Save = A save is when a Pet Nutrition Specialist saves a NUTRO® Product consumer who is either unhappy with a NUTRO® Product or unable to find their product of choice. The PNS suggests another NUTRO® product to satisfy their needs and “saves” them from leaving NUTRO® brand and buying a competitive brand.
• Associate Education= Engage in conversation with store employees to educate them on NUTRO®/GREENIES® ingredients and benefits. The goal is to gain an in-store promoter of NUTRO® Products. This must be done without excessive conversation or neglecting potential conversions.
