What is the best approach to get distribution(authorized reselling) approval from big brands?

Does it need to be in metal for a prototype? If not, do a 3d printed model and, if needed, wrap it in metal sheet/foil. There is no cheap way to do a production quality prototype.

Before you weigh the pros and cons of different platforms structures it's important to think about who your customers are and how you want the business to grow. I help companies find their most profitable customers and have worked with pre-revenue to high-growth $70M+ companies in the SaaS, consumer products and professional service spaces. We usually start our work by aligning around what the vision for the company is asking questions like "Where do we want to be in 3 years? Why?" From there we think about how customers will encounter and use the product, asking: - "Is it a business where relationships and high company involvement is needed after a sale is made?" A centralised business model is a good fit (more quality control). - "Are we a service based business seeking to minimize risk while expanding?" Then a franchise model is better. A business model/structure tumbles out having clear answers to these questions. One business structure is not inherently better than another. You're just picking the structure that best facilitates your business goals. Don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like to discuss your potential business model in more detail.

The best answer depends largely on your product and the available market. I have been a Value-Added Reseller and have sold products and services through VAR's. I helped one of my current clients set up their reseller and affiliate program. If your product can, in fact, be sold to your target market for $100. And, if your COG's before commissions is $25, that leaves you $75 for operating revenue. Let's break that down. A reseller will need to be paid commensurate with the amount of work involved in selling your product. If the product needs to be purchased in advance and, therefore, stored by the reseller, that also is a factor. If your product can be sold by more of an affiliate marketer without inventory and with little effort except to drive traffic to their site, that is a different situation. There is no easy answer with such little information. But, as a general rule of thumb, a reseller may want 35-50% of the retail sale. That amount also is included in your top line COG. Let's say that you settle for 50% commission to your sales channel. At $100 retail, that leaves you $25 operating revenue after deducting your above mentioned $25 COG. Can you run your company on a gross operating revenue of $25? Sounds like a slim budget. I'd love to know more about your product so I can give you more accurate and specific advice.

From everything I've seen, 20-35% is definitely the sweet spot. It certainly depends on the price point and some people start lower but build in incentive criteria to bump the percentage up after a certain milestones have been met.
