A distributor search should begin with the channel you need, not with a directory. The right partner must fit the product, customer segment, geography and service requirements.
Define the channel role, build a list from evidence of activity, qualify capability and fit, test cooperation with measurable actions, and delay exclusivity until performance is demonstrated.
Do you need inventory, import registration, field sales, project access, retail coverage, technical support or only introductions? Different jobs require different partners.
Look at brands represented, customers served, exhibition participation, import records where available, sector associations, websites and market presence.
Check sales force, territory, portfolio conflicts, warehousing, technical capability, financial stability and willingness to invest in the category.
A short pilot with agreed targets is more informative than a long exclusivity discussion before the first sale.
Agree who owns leads, how opportunities are reported, response times, pricing rules and review dates.
Exclusive rights should be linked to measurable performance, territory, duration and review conditions—not granted simply because a partner asks first.
It depends on whether you need a reseller that buys inventory or a representative that develops sales on your behalf.
Commercial record, territory, portfolio, capabilities, legal standing, references and the practical terms of cooperation.
