Reseller Overview Edit this paragraph

Dealers, as the name implies, is to take the money, from the enterprise purchase, they buy goods is not their own use, but to sell, they just after hand, and then sales, is concerned about spreads, rather than the actual price. Business to the dealer is not credit, but received money. This merchant refers to a businessman, that is, a business unit.

Dealers

Although the survey content of the dealer is divided into one part separately, but the dealer as the enterprise to the terminal and the consumer directly meets the sales channel chain one of the most important link, his role in the market is very huge, and he can obtain the most market information.   Therefore, the investigation of the dealer can almost involve all the contents of the investigation, and it is this, the investigation of the dealer is very important. Distributor this in the Chinese market is both the traditional and backbone of the channel strength, is encountering the channel flattening wave and the test of the new channel strength, under the pressure of the dealer or passive or active in the business development strategy to make adaptive adjustment: First, some dealers began to OEM and even self-investment to build a factory-owned brand products, To maximize the effectiveness of channel resources; second, some dealers began to enter the retail sector, to the downstream of the channel to stabilize and consolidate their position in the market; Thirdly, to maximize the access to the advantageous product resources, to share the operating costs and operating risks, and to pursue the category scale of the enterprise operation.

Agent Editor This paragraph agent (Agents) is to take care of business, rather than buy-out enterprise products, manufacturers to give the business commission of the amount of a business behavior. The ownership of the goods represented by the agent belongs to the manufacturer, not the merchant. Because merchants do not sell their own products, but instead sell them on behalf of enterprises. Therefore, the "agent", generally refers to earning the Enterprise Agent Commission of commercial units. Concept edit this paragraph

Introduction Agents and distributors of the difference is mainly whether the need to buy products from manufacturers, to obtain product ownership. Dealers from the manufacturers to buy products, to obtain product ownership, and then sales, its relationship is, manufacturers-dealers-consumers; agents are agent manufacturers to sell, itself does not purchase the manufacturer's products, do not enjoy the ownership of the product, all goods are manufacturers, product ownership is still owned by manufacturers, its relationship is manufacturers --(agents)--consumers, of course, such agents so-called to facilitate the transaction, also includes the agents of the product sales, but the status of agents are agent manufacturers to sell, and through the sale of the Commission. Also a point is the risk of commodity sales, dealers need to bear the risk of products can not be sold, agents do not bear the risk of products can not be sold, of course, now generally speaking, some large manufacturers in the selection of agents should also consider the agent's (sales) ability, if not enough, will cancel the agent qualification, change agents.   For some foreign enterprises, agents are more common, domestic enterprises prefer to dealers. In essence, now called agents are not agents in nature, more with the nature of the dealer, there are some of the two confused, that is, agents, sometimes need to take money to buy goods, very few pure sense of the agent, said it is a certain agent of the dealer more appropriate.

And the general agent relies on the sales. Directly with the downstream vendors or consumers have a relationship, more rely on spreads and rebates, operating mode is also the distribution model.
