Before comparing sales-training options, standardize the review scope. Have candidates submit customer interviews, trial-order results, after-sales readiness, and channel feedback using the same fields, then mark each item as verified, pending confirmation, or not applicable. Comparing conclusions alone can exaggerate the apparent cost advantage of the party with more complete information. The final choice must account for the risk that overly broad initial distribution causes inventory, after-sales, and compliance to get out of control at the same time, and validate with small batches before deciding on expanded orders, exclusivity, or additional outlets.
