Today, as the shelf-life of products and USPs is getting short, you need to leverage your competitive advantage as quickly as possible. Multiple & diverse channel networks play a critical role in making it happen. MiH works with you to upgrade your channel networks, which can significantly scale-up your business-growth in a short time-frame.

Focused Channel Development Team

We help you organize a dedicated sales partners development team, which has a single-point aim to expand & diversify channels. It takes up project-based ‘recruit, activates and hand-over’ approach. It also develops the necessary tools, training, and infrastructure to maximize channel partners' performance. It is staffed with best and brightest of sales & distribution staff. Recruiting a new channel and bringing it up to a certain level of success gives a great head-start to achieve consistent channel performance. This team will have 'development' DNA, compared to sales teams which typically have an 'operational' mind-set.

Channel Servicing

We help deploy a systematic channel servicing system. While salespeople are supposed to be addressing all issues from a channel partner, many of these issues do not become visible to the management or are handled informally. Using this system, you can:

  • Track the time taken to resolve an issue
  • Identify systemic issues and resolve them. Most of the complaints can be grouped into 10-15 key issues, and they can be resolved in a project mode

Helping Channels sell more

Especially in a low demand economy, a distributor is thankful, if you can add to his sales effort. This can be achieved in many different ways:

  • Train his staff
  • Go with his staff to their dealers- Train dealers and co-work with distributor staff
  • Recruit good quality staff for distributor
  • Organize dealer meets and get orders for the distributor
  • Help distributor appoint more retailers

Expanding Channel Network

We work on aggressive channel network expansion targets. we help you identify dead & white spaces, establish a scalable capability to identify potential partner leads, selling partnership proposition, evaluating, negotiating, contracting, set-up and activation. We make network expansion as a process. Channel recruitment goes beyond appointment and delivers a fully productive & active sales partner. This is made possible with a focused support system, intense engagement and marketing support to the new partner.
