How we assess a potential automotive partner
An open discussion framework, from product specialisation to the next action that can be confirmed.
Demonstration format, not an assessment of a real organisation. Information must be collected and verified for your project.
An example of the working structure, not a completed client engagement.
| Assessment area | Question to investigate | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Segment | Does the candidate work with vehicle brands, parts, consumables or equipment? | To be verified for your project |
| Region | Where are its facilities, and which territories does it actually serve? | To be verified for your project |
| Product range | Which groups are already represented, and could they conflict with the proposed offer? | To be verified for your project |
| Facilities | Are suitable demonstration, warehousing or service premises available? | To be verified for your project |
| Service capability | Who provides diagnostics, installation and training, and which capabilities are evidenced? | To be verified for your project |
| Spare parts | How are stock, ordering, compatibility identification and replenishment organised? | To be verified for your project |
| Commercial terms | Which payment, territory and responsibility arrangements are the parties willing to discuss? | To be verified for your project |
| Unknown information | Which statements still rely only on the candidate's account and require confirmation? | To be verified for your project |
| Next step | What has been agreed: catalogues, a technical discussion, a visit or draft terms? | To be verified for your project |
Indicative service fee per project. Final pricing, scope, timing and deliverables are agreed after discussion. Advertising budgets, logistics, samples and external specialists are separate unless expressly included in the agreement.
