Hello there, I have been assigned a project where I have to open up my own business. So, I decided that I will open a pet mobile grooming business, but as a part of my project I am also required to complete a Distribution Channel Worksheet, and that is where I am struggling the most. So, I have completed the Distribution Channel Part 1 and 2, but I am so confused on what answers can I add on the Distribution Channel Part 3? Can you please help me on what answers should be included in the Part 3 of the Distribution Channel 3 Worksheet? Thank you in advance, and God bless you :)
