Become a Successful Distributor: Here’s how

Have you ever thought of exploring convenience product distribution as a career? Well, to be a big name in the retail industry, you must first analyse the various distribution channels of different distributors of your area. By studying the various strategies, you can develop one of your own that is unique and best suited for you. There's profit plenty once you have the technical know-how, and take the steps well. Even in the face of all challenges and competition, you can rise if you can provide customers with what they want. In the IS, wholesale distributor sales earn up to $3.2 trillion, that's how lucrative it is.

1. The Initial Steps: The first thing to be decided is what domain you choose to serve in distribution service: Beverage distribution, grocery distribution or distributing a variety of convenience products.

1. Where to spread, what to spread: It is equally important to select the area of distribution as it is for what products you choose to distribute. Study the other distribution companies of the same category in your area. Try to stick to categories where you have experience instead of experimenting at the first go. If competition in a particular area and category is too tough, try choosing an area with lesser challenge.
2. Knowing the right men: Build relationships to gain perspective on what the market needs and who are the target customers. Networking forms the base of such business. Keep contacts open and make sure you always have connections, valuable or not. Such connections will become a deciding factor for your business. Especially when it comes to suppliers, you must know who can provide to marketable products, for how much and for how long. This should allow you to have a sizeable profit. Also, talk to your distributors about the possible discounts when you buy a bulk of products.
3. The basic step: Most important now is to formulate a business plan. From start-up costs to distribution model, everything should be chalked out well in order to smoothly function. With the strategy in place, you must synchronise the business model on which you apply your plan. Study information and keep track of facts like to whom you are distributing, distance between warehouses or retailers, and what impression your company creates. It is very important to stay up to date with all these information as they are key to increasing your business. Keep a robust inventory system as well, so that records of everything going out and coming in is stored well.
4. The final destination: Remember, the final product is consumed by the general mass, and they want only the best in return for their money. So always research on the companies you partner with. This depends on the type of products you sell, but the basic criteria remain the same. The most important point is to stay updated about the advances of your field.
