Providing Success with Professional Distributor Management

In the present fast paced market, achieving success in professional distributor management and targeted business development is of utmost importance. Markets are constantly evolving and undergoing rapid changes. This necessitates regular analysis of one's own situation, particularly in emerging markets, where the correct business partners and control measures are essential for achieving both success and compliance with legal requirements. Nevertheless, external sales partners such as dealers, distributors, sales representatives, and agents are not as managed as the company's in-house sales team.

In an ideal setup, distributors are managed via a professional 'Distributor Relationship Management' (DRM) at least as well as the company's own sales staff. This requires, among other things, a distribution strategy, performance management, the necessary governance, and a holistic enablement approach including target group-oriented marketing and training plans.

This is where I come in

I am Kai Menzler, graduate in business administration with more than 15 years of management and leadership experience in the industry. My mission is to develop and optimize the collaboration between manufacturers and their distributors. Exactly as I have previously implemented it as head of an international sales organization of a DAX company in about 40 countries.

In addition to my consulting, I offer the brokerage of B2B business partners. Here, the focus is on emerging markets in the regions of Southeast Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. I have an excellent international network which I am constantly expanding.
