I am looking forward to start wholesale business for ethical pharma company. Can you suggest me what is the procedure to be a stockist of a reputed company like Cipla, Mankind etc?

Response:

Appointment of stockiest and distributors are mainly done by Area Sales Manager or Regional Sales manager at ground level. They play an important role while appointing distributors or stockist. Or Company has its own procedure to appoint distributors. You can’t get distribution of divisions that already have distributors. You can get distribution of that in one condition if some disputes are there between company and existing distributor or company want to appoint another distributor also in that particular area.

You can either apply for stockist ship at company office through e-mail, post or massage or phone or can approach sales team for distribution of company to you.
