Overview
In order to grow a successful business, you must determine the right sales channels for your business. While the market and your competition might dictate which models are currently being used, we have found that exploring new channels of distribution can be a competitive advantage for you.
We are going to take you through eight of the most popular sales channels (both direct and indirect). Those models are:
Online / Direct to Consumer
The online channel is probably the most important selling channel for just about every business. We will review how to build your online presence.
Retail
Retail can be a very powerful sales channel for many business, but you must also be certain you can make money using it. Retail is not for everyone.
Direct Sales (Inside and outside sales)
Building a sales team can work great for B to B type businesses and some B to C businesses. However, building a sales team is expensive and requires a lot of sales knowledge.
Distributors
Using distributors in your business can work really well if you are trying to gain access to particular selling channels. However, there are lots of hidden costs with distributors, so be careful.
Resellers
Resellers can be a great way to get your product or service out to lots of buyers very quickly, but again comes at a high cost.
Partners
The partner channel can be extremely profitable, but it has to be managed very carefully by your organization.
Manufacturers Rep / Independent Rep
Sometimes an independent or manufacturer rep is the only way to gain access to a sales channel. Know whether your business requires this.
OEM / White Label
Want to make a lot of money fast? Then using an OEM or White Label selling model might be just the thing you are looking for.
