Many factors contribute to Coca-Cola Companys enduring success high-quality products, flexible and efficient manufacturing, and steady stream of innovative new products, and a lean organization that is responsive to customer needs. The biggest reason for Coca-Cola Companys success has been their system of distribution and product support and the close customer relationship its fosters. The backbone of that system is their uncountable dealers around the world who sell their products.

Coca-Cola Companys dealers provide a wide range of important services to customers. Fit summarizes: After the product leaves their door, the dealers take over. They are the ones on the frontline. Theyre the ones who live with the product for its life-time. Theyre ones customer see. All though they offer financing and insurance, they arrange those deals for customers. Theyre out there training a customers operations. The dealer create the image of a company that doesnt just stand behind its products but with its products, any where in the world. Their dealers are the reason that their motto-Buy the raw materials, Get the company-is not an empty slogan. Picture: Distribution of Coca-Cola Companys dealers build strong customer relationships in the communities. Their independent dealer in Bangladesh knows so much more about the requirements of customers in this location than a huge corporation like Coca-Cola could. Competitors often bypass their dealers and sell directly to customers to cut costs or make more profits for themselves. However, Coca-Cola Company wouldnt think of going around its dealers. The knowledge of the local market and the close relations with customers that their dealers provide are worth every poisa. Theyd rather cut off their right arm than sell directly to customers and bypass their dealers. Coca-Cola Company and its dealers work in close harmony to find better ways to bring value to customer. Thy genuinely treat their system and theirs as one. The entire system is linked by a single worldwide computer network. For example working at their desktop computers, Coca-Cola Company managers can check to see how many bottles in the country are waiting for delivery. Closely linked dealers play a vital role in almost every aspect of Coca-Cola Companys operations, from product design and delivery, to product service and support, to market intelligence and customer feedback. The close working relationship between Coca-Cola Company and its dealers comes down to more than just formal contracts and business agreements.
Coca-Cola
Dealer profitability: When times are good, Coca-Cola Company shares the bounty with its dealers rather than trying to grab all the

riches for itself. When times are bad, Coca-Cola Company protects its dealers. As a result Coca-Cola Company emerged with its distribution system intact and its competitive position stronger than ever. Extraordinary dealer support: Nowhere is this support more apparent than in the companys beverage delivery system, the faster and most reliable in the industry. Communications: Coca-Cola Company communicates with its dealers-fully, frequently, and honestly. There are no secrets (except Coca-Colas formula) between them. They have the financial statements and key operating data of every dealer in the country. In addition, virtually all Coca-Cola Company and dealer employees have real-time access to continually updated databases of service information, sales trends and forecasts, customer satisfaction surveys, and other critical data, virtually everyone from the youngest marketing executive has direct contact with somebody in their dealer. Coca-Cola Company does all it can to ensure that its dealerships are run well. It closely monitors each dealerships sales market position, service capability, financial situation, and other performance measures. It genuinely wants each dealer to succeed, and when it sees a problem, it jumps in to help. As a result, Coca-Cola Company dealerships, many of which are family business, tend to be stable and profitable. Personal relationship: In addition to more formal business ties, CocaCola Company forms close personal ties with its dealers in a kind of family relationship.
