OVERVIEW
Using indirect sales channels is a powerful and proven way to extend market reach, serve diverse segments and strengthen customer relationships through value-added partners. Companies that distribute their products through VARs, resellers, retailers, distributors, or licensees are able to multiply their selling capabilities far beyond what they could accomplish with only in-house resources.
