Conflicting Channels – Customer Challenges
If you think you have conflict, you probably do.
But is it harmful, or a natural byproduct of high levels of market coverage and market offerings?
If you have conflict, what strategies do you need to develop to manage the level of conflict and make your channels more productive?
