profitability,=,Relooking at Reseller Relationships,Fix your distribution strategy,dont go backwards I.e.sub-distributionProfitability is key,measurement,tracking down to each reseller is critical to decision making.Pick your partners,chose those that help you get closer to the customer.I.e.“the closer the better”.Protect your members,offer programs,tracks to ONLY those who has

survive with low margins.Therefore Competitiveness=Highest efficiency.It is measured by the return you get vs your investment.In todays saturated and competitive environment,it is difficult to yield high return with low investment.It is almost impossible.But it is too easy to yield low efficiency with high investment.Wastage is the Biggest issue for most distributors.Many do not maximise their resources.Many distributors have low-efficiency because they do not have the right measures at each components.You cannot look at just the final margin.Customer yield need to be set and measured by segments I.e.VARs,Traditional Resellers,SI,Sub-DistGrey margin is unstable and should not be used as a regular component for margin calculation,Capacity vs Capability,In the business of
