Distributor Onboarding Guide

The problem

Distributor onboarding often fails due to inconsistent communication and a lack of clear ownership. When new partners are onboarded via ad-hoc emails, key steps like product training or sample kit delivery get missed, delaying the first order.

What it does

• Generates a structured pre-kickoff checklist for account and portal setup.
• Identifies priority SKUs and selling points for targeted product training.
• Defines specific sample kit contents intended for demo use.
• Outlines the first order path including MOQ, lead times, and payment terms.
• Establishes a 30-60-90 day check-in schedule with defined owners and goals.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts often produce vague timelines that lack accountability. This skill enforces strict ownership for every step and focuses training on best-sellers rather than overwhelming partners with the full catalog, ensuring a faster path to revenue.

Use cases

• Standardizing onboarding for regional dealers in consumer electronics.
• Creating a repeatable kickoff plan for auto-accessory resellers.
• Transitioning a signed channel partner to their first stocking order.
• Recovering stalled partnerships with a structured 90-day review.

Known limitations

It does not research partner backgrounds; you must provide the profile. Local legal and tax compliance are out of scope and require manual review.
