  By Nihar Satsangi and Shrinjoy Chakraborty SIBM, Noida Introduction For many years the global economy appeared to obey a simple rule to the effect that the more freely countries traded, the better off everyone was.

I spent my days visiting hardware stores, interacting with retailers, shadowing Territory Sales Incharges, observing buying behaviour, understanding distributor dynamics, and learning why some products move while others never leave the shelf. One insight stood out more than anything: 👉 Sales isn't just about convincing customers—it's about making the right product available at the right outlet, at the right tim...
