Ideal distributor profile
A written definition of the partner you need: customers served, coverage, capability, portfolio fit, and disqualifying conflicts.
Services
Distributor search, run for you
DistributorScan is an active distributor search and recruitment service. We are not a directory and we do not sell lists of names. You choose the market; we research it, approach candidates, and qualify genuine interest.
What you get
What a DistributorScan sprint delivers
Every engagement covers one market and one focused objective — finding distribution partners that fit your product.
Market mapping
The structure of distribution in your target market — who sells to your customers, and how your product would reach them.
Candidate identification
A researched, human-reviewed set of distributor candidates matched against your profile rather than pulled from a static list.
Direct outreach
We approach candidates on your behalf, present the opportunity, and follow up systematically.
Qualification
What they sell, who they sell to, which brands they carry, how they would position your line, and who owns the relationship.
Introductions and appointment support
Warm introductions to interested companies, meeting coordination, candidate comparison, and appointment process support in higher tiers.
How distributor candidates are evaluated
Candidates are assessed against your profile before anyone is approached. Research is accelerated by technology, then reviewed by people who understand the commercial question you are trying to answer.
