BRAND-NEW—Strategic Pricing for Distributors: Tools and Rules for Building Higher Margins

Experience shows that most distributors are leaving at least two percentage points of gross trading margin on the table. This translates into 2% of total sales. Many companies can ultimately achieve more. The improvement is attainable fairly quickly and has proven to be sustainable. Two percent is the difference between mediocre profit results and stellar performance!

For many well-run distributors—those with a good handle on sales growth, expenses, and assets—gaining control over pricing is truly their last “unplowed field.” This book by Brent Grover is a combination of business novel and guidebook with real-world lessons for distribution managers. It will show you how to gain control over your pricing function and turn your customer value proposition into value for your shareholders.

NAW Health Insurance Program

The NAW Health Insurance Program offers fully insured and comprehensive group PPO plans that are designed exclusively for NAW direct members, and members of NAW’s member associations — representing thousands of companies nationwide. And, all members, not just distributors, are eligible to participate.

The program uses a trust established by the NAW, to allow participating member companies to join together to obtain coverage under a single policy of insurance. The result of the trust is a large risk pool that may lower insurance premiums for many businesses that would otherwise have to buy insurance on their own.
