Select one or more:
A. For most businesses, when a CPA is performed, it is not unusual to find a Pareto curve
B. In Pareto's analysis, for the customers falling in the 80% group, one of the factors

of a third party wholesaler (if possible) in to the supply chain. It will reduce the costs of

Câu 16: Fill in the blanks using the words given below.
Distribution channels are in simple terms the means of transacting with customers.
The channel is the point of purchase which need not necessarily be the point of
communication, payment, delivery and after sales support. Companies may transact with their
customers directly e.g. through sales teams, telephone, shops, internet or through indirect
channels e.g. retailers, resellers, wholesalers, agents
The method of channel distribution chosen can account for a significant proportion of
total costs. Thus, choosing the wrong channel can lead to significant losses for a particular
product/service. Key aspects that need consideration in this regard include: access to
customer base, brand awareness, competitiveness, achieving sales and market targets, speed
of payments, customer retention rates and most important of all.
