Subject: Planning a distribution system
Dear Sara,
As the (1) manufacturer-producer, we must ensure that products reach (2) customers-consumers with maximum efficiency.
At present we use independent (3) distributors - retailers, but we should consider
better altematives. The following changes need consideration:
Cutting out (4) intermediaries-middleman - this would bring cost savings.
Larger (5) sales teams-sales forces.
Many more (6) reps-sales representatives.
Improved (7) shipment-dispatch systems.
Closer relationships with (8) dealers-wholesalers.
More links with (9) chains-multiples.
More use of (10) direct selling by post-mail order.
Using our website for more (11) selling over the Internet-e-business.
Please call me to discuss these points as soon as possible.
Regards
Alain Chenement
Logistics Supervisor
