Many industrial manufacturers believe that once a distributor is signed, the market is “๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐.”
In reality, risks immediately appear:
❌ The distributor carries multiple competing brands
❌ Your product is not strategically prioritized
❌ No clear volume roadmap is defined
❌ Pricing architecture is not aligned with market expectations
❌ Performance is difficult to measure objectively
๐ซ Distribution without structure becomes passive representation❗
Before appointing a partner, manufacturers should define:
✅ Market validation thresholds
✅ Minimum performance metrics
✅ Contractual exit conditions
✅ Territory exclusivity conditions
✅ Margin architecture consistency
