BUYER'S ACADEMY 05 / DISTRIBUTION

BUILDING A MARKET-DEVELOPMENT RELATIONSHIP

Distribution is
market development.

A framework for international distributors evaluating portfolio fit, market opportunity and a structured relationship with Vippy.

THE DISTRIBUTOR LENS

Do not just move
a product.

A strong distribution relationship connects the manufacturer's portfolio to identifiable customer needs in the destination market.

The distributor therefore evaluates product-market fit, customer segments, technical support requirements and the commercial structure required for development.

market development.

PORTFOLIOWhat fits?

CUSTOMERSWho needs it?

Define target industrial and commercial segments.

TECHNICALHow is it sold?

PROGRAMMEHow does it grow?

PARTNER WITH VIPPY

Build a market.
Not just an order book.

The strongest distributor relationships are built around mutual visibility into market opportunity, technical requirements and the supply programme required to support growth.
