What is a Reseller Inquiry Form?

A reseller inquiry form is a business development tool for finding and qualifying partners who will distribute and sell your products. It captures information about distribution channels, target markets, sales capabilities, and technical support resources.

Effective reseller forms assess whether a potential partner has the right market access, sales expertise, technical support capability, and commitment level to successfully sell your products. Not every distributor is a good fit - careful qualification prevents partnerships that underperform.

Reseller partnerships can dramatically expand market reach and revenue. A structured inquiry process ensures you partner with distributors and resellers who can genuinely succeed with your products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q

What makes a good reseller candidate?

Look for: relevant customer base, strong sales track record, appropriate territory coverage, adequate technical/support resources, and genuine interest in your products. Don't chase just any distributor.

Q

How should I structure reseller margins and pricing?

Typical margins: 20-40% depending on product type and support needs. Higher margins for high-touch, technical products. Lower margins for commoditized products. Be competitive with similar channels.

Q

What support should I provide to resellers?

Sales training, marketing materials, technical support, deal registration, co-op funds, and dedicated partner manager. Good partner support drives significantly higher sales volumes.

Q

How do I prevent channel conflict?

Define clear territories, customer types, or channels per reseller. Establish conflict resolution process. Prevent direct sales from competing with resellers in their territories.

Q

Should I require minimum sales volumes?

Yes. Set realistic targets that increase over time. Performance-based relationships keep resellers focused. Review quarterly and address underperformance quickly.
