The Selloverseas.com editorial team has consolidated a few suggestions to maximize readability and engagement. Here are some tips to keep in mind, while building a POST

Alignment with your company goals and vision

It is important to appoint a distributor who shares your values, understands your target market, and supports your brand positioning. This ensures clear and realistic expectations about roles and responsibilities for both parties.  The basic objective is to set performance goals that maximize revenue potential.  This helps to search for franchisees or find distributors in export markets who fit in your overall channel sales strategy. Besides complementing overall sales channel potential.

Clarify resources or skills required in the distributor appointment template.

We all want to work with a distributor in export markets, who has the skilled manpower. Resources to sell or deliver the product or service efficiently. Clarifying the needs such as storage space, location of showroom and financial capabilities, and after-sales service capabilities gives a good start. This also helps to evaluate their network, reach, and reputation in the targeted export market.

Communicate your differentiation and benefits

Before engaging with you; the distributor also evaluates, how this relationship will benefit his overall market growth. It is important to indicate how your product fits local regulatory requirements or create cross-selling opportunities for distributors. They also assess the fit between your product or service and market requirements such as certifications required, potential to generate service revenue, etc.

The differentiation could include brand growth potential,  pre-qualifications, approvals, and certifications. How your company will support in charging premium prices or overall customer acquisition costs reduction? This attracts distributors in overseas markets and gives them a purpose to engage.

It always benefits to openly share sales growth data, social media mentions, and sentiment analysis. Additionally, benchmarking your data with your competitors’ data or industry benchmarks also motivates international distributors.

From our experience, POST which communicates the value of differentiation enjoys a much larger response.  Of course, it’s a bit of hard work and requires a deep understanding of your business, market landscape, and target segment.  A good POST cohesively triggers interest,  creates needs, clarifies objections, and meticulously explain benefits. Most overseas distributors generally ignore companies who share bare minimum details or miss important facts.

The success rate is directly proportional to efforts you put in while building the POST. Our editorial team is always available to guide you on how to improve readability score and technically optimize.

Consider this while searching or appointing distributor in international markets; for a favorable response.
