DESPERATION SCORE
74
Leaning desperate
Lower is better. A score under 30 means the pitch leads with partner value. Over 65 means distributors hear “we need you more than you need us.”
THE VERDICT
“this pitch leans desperate, especially around "help us grow," distributors will negotiate harder.”
DESPERATION SIGNALS FOUND
These phrases tell distributors you need them:
STRENGTH SIGNALS FOUND
These work for you, keep and amplify them:
POWER DYNAMICS
The pitch opens with "we are seeking motivated distributors to help us grow our territory," which frames the manufacturer as the one with the need. Distributors read that and start thinking about what they can extract.
THE FIX
Flip the frame: "Our top-tier distributors run 40% higher margins than the industry average. Here is what it takes to qualify." The manufacturer is now the prize.
SELECTIVITY SIGNALS
The phrase "willing to work with distributors of all sizes" removes every gate. When anyone can apply, landing the line signals nothing. There is no accomplishment to earn.
THE FIX
Add one hard criterion. A minimum territory, a revenue floor, a customer-type fit. The gate does not have to be high, it just has to exist.
PROOF OF DISTRIBUTOR RESULTS
The pitch describes the product benefits but says nothing about what current distributors earn or achieve. "Competitive margins" is what every manufacturer says.
THE FIX
Replace "competitive margins" with a real number: "Distributors in comparable territories are hitting $X average per unit." One real number ends the comparison.
