entering the market, what most organisations are looking for in many industries
are solutions to manage their channel partners efficiently without affecting their
profit margins.
Effective channel management is something that Indian organisations need to
make it work in their business. Positive long term interactions are what
organisations are looking for because in todays time, its more than simply
getting the product from the company to the customer. The customers are now
in the drivers seat when it comes to purchasing power. Customers are looking
for value in what they purchase and channel partners are those who create the
force in delivering the value that the customers are searching for.
