Our Expertise
Increasing Distributor Engagement
Distributors are an extension of your business, executing strategies on your behalf. Are you measuring and managing this partnership effectively?
Distributor Relationships are Pivotal to a Supplier’s Success
In large markets, suppliers must define success through the lens of the retailer, but the situation is more complex in markets where there are more layers between the supplier and shopper. In this paradigm, distributors are crucial. As a result, investing in understanding and influencing distributor relationships can be an essential driver of commercial revenue for suppliers.
Are You Listening to Distributors Effectively?
Distributors are often the public face of the supplier for shoppers. They serve as an extension of the supplier’s business by executing strategies on the supplier’s behalf and offering suppliers a competitive route to market. With such a central role, listening and engaging through data analytics tools can be the difference between success and failure.
