Distribution Channel Development

York Consulting also specializes in helping companies expand their networks — dealer, distributor or representative — or move from a manufacturer’s representative environment to a dealer/distributor network.

Business-to-Business (B2B): Distribution Channel Development Chart Based on your minimum criteria, we carefully sort through a large number of potential channel partners, qualify them, and present the best candidates to you for approval. Next, depending on your needs, York Consulting will:

  • Send them your detailed information, or
  • Register them for a webinar, or
  • Line up a conference call with you, or
  • Set up a meeting, or
  • Invite them to an event where they can learn more about your company.

We help you develop your channel by:

  • Identifying value-added resellers and dealers
  • Qualifying your target companies
  • Collaborating with your management and marketing team to write a compelling script
  • Communicating your business proposition to potential partners.
Channel Development Case Study A major computer hardware manufacturer asked us to identify and qualify resellers and their ability to provide local technical support.

From a list of 3,600 companies, York Consulting qualified 521 dealers who were interested in partnering with the manufacturer. These companies were referred to a series of webinars to help them decide whether they wanted to continue investigating a potential partnership. Afterwards, York Consulting followed up with these remaining companies to gauge their interest.

Result: (1) An expanded dealer network that provided additional sales coverage in select major metropolitan areas, and (2) Local technical support for areas that had been underserved.
