There is usually no unified standard for the grading of imported product agents. The common grading dimensions are region and scale.
From the perspective of region, there are provincial agents, municipal agents, county-level agents, etc. Provincial agents are responsible for the business in the whole province. They need to have strong financial strength, a sales team and market coverage ability. They have great authority, can develop subordinate agents, and the purchase price is relatively low. Municipal agents have a smaller coverage range and are slightly inferior to provincial agents in terms of authority and purchase price.
According to the scale grading, there are general agents, first-level agents, second-level agents, etc. General agents cooperate directly with manufacturers, master the core resources of products, can formulate market strategies, and have the lowest purchase price. First-level agents get goods from general agents, and their authority and price preferences are not as good as those of general agents. Second-level agents get goods from first-level agents, and so on. Different levels of agents also have differences in terms of market promotion, sales tasks, etc. You can choose according to your own strength and resources.

Some imported product agents will be graded according to sales volume. Agents with high sales volume have a high agent level and can get better policies, such as rebates and discounts. Low-level agents should strive to increase their sales volume to upgrade their level.
