SUMMARY:Wholesale Change: How Distributors Can Become More Important to Manufacturers
DESCRIPTION:Traditional and emerging competitors make it more difficult than ever for distributors to hold on to their role as manufacturers’ primary partners in going to market. Marketplaces\, large retailers and even options for selling direct to end-users become more tempting to manufacturers when distributors offer poor digital capabilities or are weak at marketing. \nIn this episode of Wholesale Change\, representatives from two major manufacturers – ABB and Signify – will share how distributors can become more important to them. Instead of taking defensive action to hold onto existing market share\, we’ll discuss how distributors can go on offense and take share from other channels. \nDon’t miss the unique opportunity to hear directly from major manufacturers on how you can become more important in the channel. Join hosts Ian Heller and Jonathan Bein live on Jan. 17 at 9 PT / 12 ET to ask questions or sign up to listen to the archive.
