SUMMARY:Building a Bridge Between Generations\, featuring Jeff McLendon
DESCRIPTION:In nearly 20 years with Specialty Building Products\, Jeff has served as CFO\, President and COO\, and now CEO. Throughout his long career\, which has included many acquisitions\, a company name change (SBP was formerly known as U.S. LUMBER) and most recently\, new ownership\, Jeff has focused on building great teams.   \nJeff knows this means recruiting great new talent to go along with the experienced veterans. SBP has earned a reputation as a great place to work for Millennials and Generation Z employees – and not just because Jeff plays video games with them. He’ll be joining us on the Wholesale Change show on Aug. 17\, where Ian and Jonathan will ask him about the part he has played in building such a successful company.  \nSign up to watch live on Aug. 17 at 9 PT/12 ET so you can ask your questions\, too. Or to receive a link to the recording or podcast.

SUMMARY:Bay Supply Proves Small Distributors Can Build Big Marketplaces
DESCRIPTION:Conventional thinking claims that only distributors larger than a billion dollars can build successful marketplaces. Bay Supply is much smaller than that\, but its fastener marketplace is taking off.   \nLike most wholesalers\, Bay Supply is facing new marketplace entrants supported by tech startups\, national distributors\, manufacturers and even software providers that are fighting to reach the buyer directly through these rapidly evolving platforms. Unlike other distributors\, Bay Supply jumped into the marketplace competition itself. And they’re recruiting manufacturers and distributors to join their platform in a friendlier ecosystem than many of the alternatives.   \nMike Eichinger\, Bay Supply COO\, joins us on the Wholesale Change show on Aug. 31 at 9PT/12ET. He’ll share how Bay Supply is taking a collaborative approach to supporting distributors who want to reach sourcing professionals with an efficient solution while maintaining their brand and positioning as experts in the field.
