New DistributionHow Nongfu Spring Achieved a Value of 13 Billion? Three Lessons You Must Learn!

New DistributionThree Tips to Crack the Puzzle of "Easy Distribution, Hard Sell-Through"!
For many baijiu distributors, product distribution can be done quickly, but market activation after distribution is slow. Once products fail to sell through, it leaves a bad impression on retail outlets, affecting long-term relationships and making it difficult to distribute new products in the future. Terminal sell-through after distribution is the most direct and important indicator of a distributor's performance, as terminals are the final point where consumers decide to buy and where distributors realize profits.
New DistributionPractical Analysis of How Distributors Make Money by Handling First-, Second-, and Third-Tier Brands
A distributor's profitability is directly linked to its product portfolio. FMCG products can be broadly divided into three categories: first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier brands.

The optimal product mix is 40% first-tier, 40% second-tier, and 20% third-tier in sales weight, which can triple the return on investment compared to handling only first-tier brands.

New DistributionWhy Can't You Recruit Talent? Why Can't You Unleash Employees' Initiative?
Many business leaders worry about not being able to recruit talent, but first they must understand that the company may lack not talent, but a mechanism for producing talent. How to retain talent and motivate employees to work with more enthusiasm and creativity? Before answering this question, let's look at four phenomena: 1. Why could Qin Shi Huang unify the six states and become the first emperor? Because he adopted a farming-and-conquest mechanism, i.e., for every ten mu of land captured, three mu were given to soldiers; for each enemy killed, ten coins were rewarded. 2. Why could Chinese farmers eat and dress well after the reform and opening up? Because farmers used to work for the production team, but now they work for themselves.
