Which dealer type sells directly to end users?

• A. Street level dealer
• B. Wholesaler
• C. Distributor
• D. Producer

Answer: (A)

This question tests understanding of distribution channels and who sells to the final customer. The street level dealer operates at the bottom of the channel, taking orders and completing sales directly with end users without intermediaries. That direct-to-consumer interaction is what makes this dealer type the one that sells directly to end users. Wholesalers and distributors sit higher in the chain, moving products from producers to retailers or other resellers, not straight to the final buyer. The producer creates the product and typically does not sell directly to the general end user in most conventional channels, instead relying on intermediaries or, in some cases, direct-to-consumer arrangements that still involve steps beyond a simple end-user sale. So the street level dealer is the best fit for selling directly to end users.
