What is distributor and partner engagement?
Distributor and partner engagement is the search for the right distributors, dealers and channel partners in a new market. Repserve matches you with a screened distributor hunter who knows your sector locally. You describe your ideal distributor and any partners you already have, so existing relationships are protected, and they find, qualify and introduce suitable partners. You set a monthly budget when you post the request.
Is this right for you?
- Manufacturers that sell through distributors rather than direct
- Companies replacing an underperforming distributor
- Brands that need national or regional coverage quickly

Distributor Engagement FAQs
What do I need to tell you about my ideal distributor?
Describe the kind of partner you want, such as national reach, the sectors they cover and any brands they must not already carry, and list the partners you already have. Both go in your request.
Will you approach my existing partners?
No. You list your existing partners in your request so your distributor hunter avoids them and does not expose or damage those relationships.
How do I pay for distributor engagement?
You pay a monthly retainer, which you set as your budget when you post the request.
