Company Searches Actively
Customer Searches Actively
Marketers use different approaches to the customers who
are at different stages in their “Buying Journey”
 For customers at the early stages of their buying journey (
Those who do not know that they have a problem, those who
only have a vague idea of what they need); the approach is
to help the customer to discover / own the problem
 For customers who are at the middle stages of their buying
journey ( who are weighing features, vendors and terms in
order to narrow their options) the approach is to help the
customer discover right criteria and enable comparison
and choice between various features, vendors and terms
 For those customers who are ready to transact, the approach
is to work out deals, provide selling outlets, improve stock
visibility, take orders, make delivery / collection / service
arrangements.
Where are most of your customers now? Is your Go-To-Market suitable?
If most of your customers are
at an early stages of their buying journey
Your focus needs to be on hunting and concept
selling ( creating need and budget)
Hunting
Developing criteria for identifying prospects
Using these rules to locate and contact prospects
Engage and pave the way for concept selling

Concept selling is needed when there is no existing
BANT ( Budget, Authority, Need and Time Pressure)
This is a very skilled level of selling
“Art of complex sale”
If most of your customers are
at the middle stages of their buying journey
your focus should be on COMPARATIVE SELLING
and you should help the customers discover
what are the criteria he should use in selecting
• the right features
• The right vendors
• The right terms and conditions
If most of your customers are
Ready to transact
Your focus should be on GATHERING
This means you should
Expand your reach : more distributors, more retailers,
more agents
Improve visibility and presence on the street and
inside the outlet
Work out better arrangements for

display where and when the customers come

calls at the call center, off take of brochures, price
quotations, demonstration, sale

Number of Customers
When customers search actively, structures to meet their demand come
up. Retailers, wholesalers who supply to these retailers, the company
warehouses and distributors who supply to these wholesalers .. All these
come up as independent businesses. When customers do not search
actively for you, there are no readymade “gathering points”.

Number of Customers
In B2B businesses you can deal directly with a few large customers and
you can customize for them and you can first take order and then make
to order. But for mass products, the channel is a more economical
option to reach the market. In such case you are available through
channel but reach through mass media. There are multiple tiers in the
channel and multiple handling points. The products are standardized
and made to stock and have many packaging layers.

Review Question : Why channels ?

 Many customers; spread everywhere : soap

One company cannot reach all

 Customers buy from local / trusted middlemen

Customers don’t know the company

 Customers buy assortment / bundle of products

Company cannot supply this

 Company does not know all customers well enough

Hence may not be able to extend credit and facilities

 Company not close / good enough to serve well

Local proximity : better response time

 Company’s person not be in the market all the time

Channel members are in the local market all the time

 Costs of a separate channel unsustainable

Channel works for multiple firms hence cost effective
For Private Circulation Only : Sales & Distribution Course By S K Palekar : skpalekar@hotmail.com
Main Channel Decisions

The 3 decisions are
1. Horizontal coverage of the market ?
Intensively or selectively?
2. Vertical Length of the chain. How long ? Number
of tiers in the chain?
3. Own (full control) ? Use others (part control)?
Use existing outlets or set up own outlets?
When Selective ? When Intensive ?
Use selective (sparse) distribution when
 Generally high ticket (price) items
 Consumers’ perceived risk high ( cars )
 Consumer rely on technical advice ( Professional camera )
 Assurance of post-purchase service important ( durables )
 frequency of purchase is low ( luggage).
 brand loyalty is high (Levi’s)
 Retail personal influence important ( fashion )

Use Intensive (Mass) distribution
When the situation is opposite.
Selective or Intensive ?
 Product characteristics
 Intensive Distribution : For products purchased frequently , For
products purchased with a minimum effort , for Convenience goods
 Selective Distribution : consumers shop around extensively before final
purchase, shopping or specialty goods
 Degree of control
 Intensive Distribution : Manufacturers willing to relinquish significant
control over the marketing of their products within the channel might
prefer an intensive strategy.
 Selective Strategy : for close control over selling prices, type and
extent of selling assistance at point of sale, display standards and
product image
Channel Architecture : How Long ?
 Company  Customer ? ( DIRECT SALES)
 Used by industrial products and high value products
 Company  Retailer  Customer ? ( 1 TIER )
 Used by consumer durables and brand showrooms
 Company  Distributor  Retailer  Customer ? (2 TIER )
 Used by fast moving packaged goods companies
How many tiers ? 2 Extremes
 For industrial products, the number of customers are few and the
value of the order per delivery is high. Yhey use DIRECT SALES
system where the vertical length is zero (company directly sells to
the end user).
 For FMCG products like WIMCO matchboxes, virtually everyone
in the country is a potential customer and the behavior of these
customers is such that they don’t want to walk and plan much to
purchase a matchbox! Therefore WIMCO wants to make their
products available in smallest of the paanwalla shops ( 20 Lakh
nationally in over 5000 towns) and it is impossible for the
company to do this on their own. They have 3 Tier system :
company selling to 2000 wholesalers who in turn sell to 20 Lakh
outlets.
Direct sales ( Zero Tier )







Own sales force selling direct to end user
Prevalent among industrial goods manufacturers
If large volume per customer, this is cost effective
More control over own sales force than of distributor’s
Customers prefer to deal directly with the manufacturer.
Direct touch with market : better / faster feedback.
Own Channel or Someone Else’s ?
 It is always a dilemma whether to use an existing trader or to
set up one’s own trading establishment ( store)
 2 extreme options are :
Setting up one’s own store.
You can select the location,
the interiors, how to
display, what to display,
how many people of what
kind to employ, how much
moving space to keep,
whether you want the
store only for your brand
exclusively.

Using someone else’s
existing store but then you
have to learn to live with
his location, interiors,
display facilities, what he
stocks and displays, his
people. And he is of
course stocking and selling
existing brands (your
competitors).
Using Conventional Channels
 They invest in your stock, display your goods, deliver goods,
make invoices and extend credit on your behalf.
 Many of them also feed marketing information back to you.
 Advantages of using existing channels.
 They are more efficient marketers : They know local customers.
 Their costs are shared by many brands : They are more efficient.
 They can respond faster to local requests.
 You don’t need to invest in space, stock, people and administration.
 You incur only variable costs - you don’t spend if you don’t sell
 Disadvantages to manufacturers
 Channel members independent : not bound by contracts
 Co-ordination through power, bargaining, negotiation
 Low concern towards what happens to you : before &after
 Low member loyalty, low entry and exit barriers
 Less control, less systemic economies, and less stability
Manufacturers manage these
disadvantages…
 STICK : agreements on sales terms and obligations like
 Price maintenance
 Demonstration facilities that meet certain technical requirements
 Qualified sales staff
 Refraining from illegal, deceptive, and unethical practices.
 CARROT : Working closely in planning and carrying out
 inventory plan
 advertising plan
 sales training plan.
 OVERALL ATTEMPT IS TO BE THE “CHANNEL CAPTAIN”
 responsible for achieving systemic coordination within the channel.
 The more success manufacturers have with these attempts, the closer
will a conventional system resemble corporate and contractual systems.
“Fully Controlled Vertical”
 May be either Owned or Franchised
 Gas stations, Bata stores.
 Advantages
 List price maintaninence
 Quality control ( gasoline quality, baking, freshness )
 Market feedback from stores on new design
 Better services offered at the outlets
 Disadvantages
 Investment in real estate, stock and human resources
 inflexible in adapting quickly to new opportunities
Type of “Franchising”
 Product trade name franchising
 The right to market the franchisor’s product
within a designated market area
using the franchisor’s trade name.
 Examples : Automobiles and truck dealers, soft drink bottlers.
 Business format franchising.
 All above plus the franchisee acquires the right to utilize the business
know how - operating manuals and standards, quality control,
information systems, or marketing plans
 Examples : fast foods, motels and hotels, personal services,
rental services, stores, real estate services.
How “Franchising” Helps …
 Benefit to franchisees
 opportunity to be “own boss”
 “Pre-packaged” business with no prior business experience.
 A well-recognized trade name
 Assistance in starting up : site, layout, equipment, training
 continuing support : new products, promotions, operations
 Benefit to franchisor
 Rapid scaling up without losing control
 expand the business using someone else’s time and money
 Yet exercise control / coordination on local marketing policy.
 Franchisees are more motivated and willing than dealers
How “Franchising” Hampers …
 Problems to franchisees
 Fly-by-night franchisors.
 Inflated sales and profit projections.
 Overcharged by franchisors in buying supplies.
 vulnerability : franchisor may pull the plug for no reason.
 Problems to franchisors
 Franchisees are “independent minded” : hard to control
 Large-chain franchisees can exert considerable pressure
 Legal costs / battles over franchisee autonomy/ termination clauses
Bata uses multiple channels
 Through their own “Bata” stores (Bata brand)
 Space, Stock, People .. All by Bata.
 Through multi-brand stores ( BSC brand)
 Space, Stock, People belong to the independent store
 Through multi-brand stores under other brand names
 Bata manufactures for other labels
 Also sells direct to customers (some areas)
 In some stores when people cannot find the color and the size they
want in the style of shoes they like, they take orders direct along
with an advance and delivers shoes straight to customers via
couriers.

  • 52. Review Question : Why channels ?  Many customers; spread everywhere : soap One company cannot reach all  Customers buy from local / trusted middlemen Customers don’t know the company  Customers buy assortment / bundle of products Company cannot supply this  Company does not know all customers well enough Hence may not be able to extend credit and facilities  Company not close / good enough to serve well Local proximity : better response time  Company’s person not be in the market all the time Channel members are in the local market all the time  Costs of a separate channel unsustainable Channel works for multiple firms hence cost effective For Private Circulation Only : Sales & Distribution Course By S K Palekar : skpalekar@hotmail.com
  • 53. Main Channel Decisions The 3 decisions are 1. Horizontal coverage of the market ? Intensively or selectively? 2. Vertical Length of the chain. How long ? Number of tiers in the chain? 3. Own (full control) ? Use others (part control)? Use existing outlets or set up own outlets?
  • 54. When Selective ? When Intensive ? Use selective (sparse) distribution when  Generally high ticket (price) items  Consumers’ perceived risk high ( cars )  Consumer rely on technical advice ( Professional camera )  Assurance of post-purchase service important ( durables )  frequency of purchase is low ( luggage).  brand loyalty is high (Levi’s)  Retail personal influence important ( fashion ) Use Intensive (Mass) distribution When the situation is opposite.
  • 55. Selective or Intensive ?  Product characteristics  Intensive Distribution : For products purchased frequently , For products purchased with a minimum effort , for Convenience goods  Selective Distribution : consumers shop around extensively before final purchase, shopping or specialty goods  Degree of control  Intensive Distribution : Manufacturers willing to relinquish significant control over the marketing of their products within the channel might prefer an intensive strategy.  Selective Strategy : for close control over selling prices, type and extent of selling assistance at point of sale, display standards and product image
  • 56. Channel Architecture : How Long ?  Company  Customer ? ( DIRECT SALES)  Used by industrial products and high value products  Company  Retailer  Customer ? ( 1 TIER )  Used by consumer durables and brand showrooms  Company  Distributor  Retailer  Customer ? (2 TIER )  Used by fast moving packaged goods companies
  • 57. How many tiers ? 2 Extremes  For industrial products, the number of customers are few and the value of the order per delivery is high. Yhey use DIRECT SALES system where the vertical length is zero (company directly sells to the end user).  For FMCG products like WIMCO matchboxes, virtually everyone in the country is a potential customer and the behavior of these customers is such that they don’t want to walk and plan much to purchase a matchbox! Therefore WIMCO wants to make their products available in smallest of the paanwalla shops ( 20 Lakh nationally in over 5000 towns) and it is impossible for the company to do this on their own. They have 3 Tier system : company selling to 2000 wholesalers who in turn sell to 20 Lakh outlets.
  • 58. Direct sales ( Zero Tier )       Own sales force selling direct to end user Prevalent among industrial goods manufacturers If large volume per customer, this is cost effective More control over own sales force than of distributor’s Customers prefer to deal directly with the manufacturer. Direct touch with market : better / faster feedback.
  • 59. Own Channel or Someone Else’s ?  It is always a dilemma whether to use an existing trader or to set up one’s own trading establishment ( store)  2 extreme options are : Setting up one’s own store. You can select the location, the interiors, how to display, what to display, how many people of what kind to employ, how much moving space to keep, whether you want the store only for your brand exclusively. Using someone else’s existing store but then you have to learn to live with his location, interiors, display facilities, what he stocks and displays, his people. And he is of course stocking and selling existing brands (your competitors).
  • 60. Using Conventional Channels  They invest in your stock, display your goods, deliver goods, make invoices and extend credit on your behalf.  Many of them also feed marketing information back to you.  Advantages of using existing channels.  They are more efficient marketers : They know local customers.  Their costs are shared by many brands : They are more efficient.  They can respond faster to local requests.  You don’t need to invest in space, stock, people and administration.  You incur only variable costs - you don’t spend if you don’t sell  Disadvantages to manufacturers  Channel members independent : not bound by contracts  Co-ordination through power, bargaining, negotiation  Low concern towards what happens to you : before &after  Low member loyalty, low entry and exit barriers  Less control, less systemic economies, and less stability
  • 61. Manufacturers manage these disadvantages…  STICK : agreements on sales terms and obligations like  Price maintenance  Demonstration facilities that meet certain technical requirements  Qualified sales staff  Refraining from illegal, deceptive, and unethical practices.  CARROT : Working closely in planning and carrying out  inventory plan  advertising plan  sales training plan.  OVERALL ATTEMPT IS TO BE THE “CHANNEL CAPTAIN”  responsible for achieving systemic coordination within the channel.  The more success manufacturers have with these attempts, the closer will a conventional system resemble corporate and contractual systems.
  • 62. “Fully Controlled Vertical”  May be either Owned or Franchised  Gas stations, Bata stores.  Advantages  List price maintaninence  Quality control ( gasoline quality, baking, freshness )  Market feedback from stores on new design  Better services offered at the outlets  Disadvantages  Investment in real estate, stock and human resources  inflexible in adapting quickly to new opportunities
  • 63. Type of “Franchising”  Product trade name franchising  The right to market the franchisor’s product within a designated market area using the franchisor’s trade name.  Examples : Automobiles and truck dealers, soft drink bottlers.  Business format franchising.  All above plus the franchisee acquires the right to utilize the business know how - operating manuals and standards, quality control, information systems, or marketing plans  Examples : fast foods, motels and hotels, personal services, rental services, stores, real estate services.
  • 64. How “Franchising” Helps …  Benefit to franchisees  opportunity to be “own boss”  “Pre-packaged” business with no prior business experience.  A well-recognized trade name  Assistance in starting up : site, layout, equipment, training  continuing support : new products, promotions, operations  Benefit to franchisor  Rapid scaling up without losing control  expand the business using someone else’s time and money  Yet exercise control / coordination on local marketing policy.  Franchisees are more motivated and willing than dealers
  • 65. How “Franchising” Hampers …  Problems to franchisees  Fly-by-night franchisors.  Inflated sales and profit projections.  Overcharged by franchisors in buying supplies.  vulnerability : franchisor may pull the plug for no reason.  Problems to franchisors  Franchisees are “independent minded” : hard to control  Large-chain franchisees can exert considerable pressure  Legal costs / battles over franchisee autonomy/ termination clauses
  • 66. Bata uses multiple channels  Through their own “Bata” stores (Bata brand)  Space, Stock, People .. All by Bata.  Through multi-brand stores ( BSC brand)  Space, Stock, People belong to the independent store  Through multi-brand stores under other brand names  Bata manufactures for other labels  Also sells direct to customers (some areas)  In some stores when people cannot find the color and the size they want in the style of shoes they like, they take orders direct along with an advance and delivers shoes straight to customers via couriers.
