Avoiding Single Channel Reliance

13 minPRO
3/6

Key Takeaways

  • Single channel dependency exists when one source accounts for 50%+ of closed deals; critical dependency at 70%+.
  • Target no single channel above 40% of closings, with at least three active channels.
  • Diversification is a phased process: master one, add a second, then a third over 12 months.
  • Contingency plans for each channel ensure rapid recovery when a channel fails or becomes uneconomical.
