Selling into Thailand
Plan dense routes
Thailand has more outlets per resident than most markets, so a rep can cover many doors in a day.
Do not size for quick-service and fast-food outlets
Quick-service and fast-food outlets are a smaller part of Thailand than elsewhere; plan the pitch around the outlet types that lead here.
Qualify in person
Only 17% of outlets in Thailand list a website, so expect to find and qualify venues on the street rather than online.
