Poor Distributor Selection
Definition
Inadequate data on distributor track records, fees (20%), and royalty impacts leads to binding agreements that erode margins without proportional sales uplift.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 20% commission + reduced royalties from ineffective distribution
- Frequency: Ongoing per distribution contract
- Root Cause: Lack of centralized terms management and performance analytics for channel partners
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Australian book publishers waste 20% commissions plus opportunity costs on poor channel partners. Automated terms analytics optimizes distributor selection.
