Description

This episode discusses a strategic approach for food and beverage (F&B) companies to optimise their growth by carefully selecting regional distribution partners. It argues against a one-size-fits-all model, emphasising the importance of channel specialisation for greater sales velocity and data-driven decisions to mitigate risks. The framework detailed includes defining target trade channelsprofiling and scoring potential partners based on expertise, analytics, logistics, and cultural fit, and finally building a diversified partner mosaic of "anchor" and "edge" distributors. This methodology aims to facilitate rapid, effective expansion without common logistical or branding pitfalls.
