| Industrial manufacturing | A pump and valve maker sells through twenty dealers, of whom five produce most of the revenue, while three districts with heavy demand have no dealer at all. | Demand sized by district, dealers ranked against it, a coverage model setting dealer numbers per district, a distributor route for the far districts, and a phased appointment plan. | Uncovered districts get someone answerable for them, and strong dealers stop facing new appointments inside their own market. |
| Building materials and hardware | A fittings brand sells through retail counters in one state and wants to enter two more, but its only plan is to appoint whoever the area representative can find. | Segment and channel map for the new states, a distributor-led entry model with retail coverage targets, an ideal partner profile, and a named prospect list per city. | Entry proceeds city by city against a plan, with the retail counters each distributor must reach written down. |
| Software and IT services | A B2B software firm sells direct in two metros. Smaller cities enquire regularly, but the cost of serving them directly is too high and there is no partner model to hand them to. | A reseller and implementation-partner route for smaller cities, an account ownership boundary against the direct team, margin structure by partner type, and a two-city pilot. | Smaller-city demand is served profitably, without the direct team feeling its accounts have been given away. |
| Consumer brands | A packaged food brand sells on marketplaces and through two distributors, and general trade growth is flat because nobody has decided which channel serves which shopper. | Channel mix across own site, marketplaces, general trade and modern trade, with pricing discipline between them, coverage targets by town class, and a launch sequence. | Each channel has a defined job and a price it holds, so growth in one stops undercutting another. |
| Medical equipment | An equipment company sells direct to large hospitals and cannot reach clinics and diagnostic centres in smaller towns, where competitors are already present through dealers. | A dealer route for the clinic segment with a service capability requirement, key accounts retained direct, a target account list per region, and a pilot in one region. | The clinic segment becomes reachable, while hospital relationships stay with the people who built them. |
| Consumer services | A services brand with four company-run centres wants to expand to other cities and cannot decide between opening branches, franchising, or appointing partner-operated centres. | The three entry models compared on capital, control, speed and service quality, a recommended model by city tier, the coverage plan, and the sequence to expand in. | The expansion route is chosen on capital and control, not on the first franchising enquiry that arrived. |
