European Channel Development

Developing effective 3rd party sales channels for your business

Have you a European Channel Partner Strategy?

While 3rd party sales partners (distributors, agents, etc) may be your preferred option, most channel partnerships ultimately fail due to poor channel strategy, poor partner choice or poor partner support.

Getting the overall strategy right is the first step therefore and needs to consider many factors such as country selection, market competititiveness, pricing, channel fit, resourcing requirements, etc. Before you jump into the recruitment process therefore, have you developed an overall channel strategy for the European market?
