This webinar will focus on the advantage’s distributors will gain from a transparent discussion inside the working world of the supplier. In the promotional products industry, the relationship between the supplier and distributor can often be fraught with frustration, anxiety, and misinformation leading to a division between the two.

The end result can only be a more collaborative, productive, and appreciative partnership for both sides of the supply chain, ultimately benefiting the customer.
The titles of the top 5 areas under discussion are:
1. The real story behind pricing.
2. Suppliers have answers and solutions to share.
3. Inside the world of the Supplier from bid opportunities to delivery.
4. Just ask.
5. Tips to create an even more prosperous and collaborative partnership.
