Scorecard – Channels Of Distribution – 3 Month Evaluation

New channels are often launched with optimism and reviewed too late. By the time the business notices a shortfall, three quarters have passed and corrective decisions become expensive. The 3-Month Channel Evaluation Scorecard exists to close that gap.

Tool's Overview

New channels are often launched with optimism and reviewed too late. By the time the business notices a shortfall, three quarters have passed and corrective decisions become expensive. The 3-Month Channel Evaluation Scorecard exists to close that gap.

It replaces the common pattern of subjective channel reviews, where opinion outweighs evidence, with a disciplined 90-day checklist that surfaces revenue, penetration, and cannibalisation in a single view.

The output is a structured early-warning read that tells the leadership team whether a new channel is performing on plan, drifting, or quietly stealing volume from existing channels.

What This Tool Does

This tool enables Sales and Trade Marketing teams to:

  • Compare actual versus planned revenue contribution by channel after 90 days
  • Identify whether new-channel sales are genuinely incremental or substitutional
  • Measure penetration against the addressable channel universe
  • Surface execution gaps in partner service standards before they compound
  • Trigger structured go / hold / pivot decisions at the right time

It moves channel review from anecdote to evidence.

When to Use This Tool

This tool is typically used when:

  • Within 90 days of any new channel launch
  • At the close of a pilot phase before full national rollout
  • When channel revenue is being defended in the annual operating plan
  • When leadership questions whether new sales are incremental or cannibalised
  • Ahead of distributor or partner reviews on a new channel

Who Should Use This Tool

This tool is intended for:

  • Sales Directors and National Sales Managers
  • Trade Marketing Heads
  • Channel Development and New-Channel Managers
  • Commercial Finance partners reviewing channel returns
  • Distributor and key-account partners with new-channel responsibility

It is equally relevant for principals, distributors, and route-to-market teams.

How the Tool Is Structured

The scorecard is organised into a single working evaluation grid:

  • Revenue performance — actual versus plan, contribution mix, incremental versus substitutional
  • Customer reach — penetration against the channel universe, target-segment coverage
  • Channel health — partner execution, service standards, consumer take-off rates
  • Decision triggers — go / hold / pivot signals based on the 90-day evidence

This ensures the tool is operational and decision-oriented rather than diagnostic alone.
