Distribution Channels
print icon

Distribution Channels provide you a way to segment Advisory Firm’s they are targeting their products to. If the Asset Manager is targeting a larger firm, Distribution Channel may be set up by Branch, whereas smaller firm’s that are being targeted may be setup as the firm itself, or by region. Each Distribution Channel can be in different stages of the sales process (Prospect → Active → Terminated).

Metrics are rolled up to the Distribution Channel to see if the relationship is healthy or not. This is very important when dealing with larger firms, and where to target selling your products next.

Distribution Channel is under the Company (Firm) object. Distribution Teams, Team Members and Investment Accounts are underlying records that can be linked to the Distribution Channel object.

Distribution Channels are a distinct segment of the Company that sells the Asset Management firm's investment products to their clients, such as AB Investment Firm. Each Distribution Channel can be tracked in different stages of the sales process (Prospect > Active> Terminated). Track the necessary details on your Distribution Channels, including aggregated information, contacts, Rep Codes, and Activities such as emails, phone calls, and meetings.


Where can I find Distribution Channels?

To access Distribution Channels, select Menu > Firms > Distribution Channels. You can choose to view All Distribution Channels, Active, Prospect, and Terminated Distribution Channels, or any views you or your firm create. To see the specific details of a Distribution Channel, select the Name.
