Match aftermarket suppliers to vehicle fitment and sales channel
| Research track | How to shortlist | Meeting preparation |
|---|---|---|
| Racing and performance | Relevant vehicle platforms and product applications | Ask about fitment evidence, installation requirements and product support. |
| Truck, SUV and off-road | Customer use case and dealer network | Compare territory coverage, stock availability and dealer terms. |
| Collision repair and refinishing | Shop workflow and technician needs | Ask about training, consumables and support after installation. |
| Wheels, tires and mobile electronics | Compatibility and route to market | Separate manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and installers in your shortlist. |
Pro Tip: Give each colleague a distinct research question from the table. Use the same comparison criteria across competing suppliers so that the team can make a decision after the event.

Questions to prepare before your meetings
| Meeting counterpart | Question to resolve | Useful next step |
|---|---|---|
| Distributor | Where do you need channel coverage, and how are dealers supported? | Named channel owner and territory discussion |
| Installer or shop | What installation, training and warranty support accompanies the product? | Technical follow-up or demonstration |
| Brand partnership team | Which vehicle applications and customer segments are the priority? | Product-line and partnership fit assessment |
A useful meeting ends with an agreed action: a technical review, a sample request, a partner conversation or a scoped evaluation. Record who owns that action and which question is still unanswered.
A practical visit plan
| Stage | Recommended action |
|---|---|
| Before Las Vegas | Confirm admission eligibility. Assign each target account a vehicle application and channel role. |
| First visit block | Group demos by product category and nearby booths using the current floorplan. |
| Second visit block | Meet the commercial owners for your strongest product and distribution matches. |
| After the show | Follow up with the requested specification, dealer discussion or installation question, not a general catalog email. |
Pro Tip: Leave gaps between appointments and reconfirm the exact meeting location. A directory listing is a research starting point; it is not a booked meeting.
