I. Market Condition Analysis. Conducting a market condition analysis first means understanding the market, consumers, and competitors, seeing market demand, consumer preferences and purchasing habits, and competitors' strengths and weaknesses, thereby discovering breakthrough points and laying a solid foundation for excellent sales of your products. Clearly, market condition analysis involves in-depth analysis of market capacity, consumption levels, consumption habits, competition, and other factors, achieving "know the enemy" to prepare for "a hundred battles, a hundred victories."

II. Self-Analysis. This is the work of "knowing yourself." Because market conditions are real, and your own situation is also real. So, facing the real market situation, how do you use your actual situation to conquer the market? Is it a reckless attack, or a clever victory based on your own strength? Especially the shortcomings of the market and competitors, and how to leverage your own advantages, all determine the different operational methods. Facts have proven that only by basing on your actual situation, leveraging strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and attacking cleverly, can you turn disadvantages into advantages and achieve good, even excellent, or explosive sales.

III. Set Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Annual Goals. This goal should be based on the distributor's capabilities and be scientifically formulated, achieving steady progress and gradual development and growth. For example, if the regional market has a total capacity of 300 sales outlets, but you only have the strength to set up 80 outlets, what about the remaining 220 outlets? You definitely need to develop secondary distributors to complete the network. So, how many secondary distributors should you develop, and when should you complete the development and outlet setup? This requires scientific planning based on your own resources (vehicles, funds, personnel, warehousing, products, etc.). If you are a capable distributor, you can complete this work in one month to quickly expand your sales coverage; if your strength is insufficient, you can spread it over three months to achieve the goal. As long as it is scientific and practical, this plan is successful. Therefore, goal setting should be based on your own abilities and strength, including main goals, number of outlets, number of distributors, sales volume, profit, and later maintenance and service. All must be clearly defined, then fully executed, implemented step by step and in a timely manner. Avoid the situation of the monkey picking corn, dropping one after another, ending with just one. For example, in the distribution of Wen corn noodles, if each vehicle effectively develops 5 stores per day and persists, doing 22 days per month, you can develop over a hundred stores—this is remarkable! The key is persistence, which requires great resilience. The sooner you do it, the sooner you succeed; the later you do it, the later you succeed. As long as you do it, you will surely succeed!

IV. Overall Operational Planning. After completing goal setting, you should plan the overall operation within the scope of these goals. This overall operational plan is to achieve the annual goals, i.e., to make the realization of goals concrete. Obviously, this involves many aspects, and each item is practical, such as overall team operation planning, overall network distribution planning, overall product launch planning, overall brand promotion planning, overall promotional activity planning, overall service implementation planning, and overall explosive sales planning.

For example, overall team operation planning means to achieve this goal, based on your own strength, you need to recruit how many people and what kind of people, form what kind of marketing team, and then carry out the series of tasks to achieve sales goals in a planned and step-by-step manner.

Another example is overall network distribution planning, which was partially discussed earlier. It specifically includes distribution planning, distribution development, distribution operation, and distribution management. This involves distribution development personnel, development methods and techniques, development goals, and after development, operational guidance and management services for distributors.

Another example is overall promotional activity planning, such as using hype-type promotions, competitive promotions, special promotions, joint promotions, or small series promotions? How to complete corresponding promotional activities at low cost to lay the foundation for sales growth... These all require a scientific, clear, practical, effective, easy-to-execute, and low-cost plan. Only in this way can distributors, based on their own strength, solve problems step by step, improve sales step by step, and ultimately achieve excellent or even explosive sales.

Whether distributors can base on their own strength, adapt to local conditions, leverage strengths and avoid weaknesses, and build up sales step by step is the important work.
