PDF of Vendor Presentations

Cultivating accounts that must have you! - For those vendors that have experiences accounts that purchase from you because you had the lower price as well as accounts that were loyal to you based upon the service provided to them. If you want more accounts to leave the former group and join the later group, this is a topic you want to hear.

 

Why fly paper works! Attracting buyers to your tradeshow exhibit! - You know that your space at a trade show costs a lot of money. Add to that the expense of travel, hotel, and meals and you have spent a lot of money. If you do not think you are getting the results from your trade show exhibit that you should get, this is a presentation that needs to be heard.

Lessons from a Postman - How to deliver as a vendor - "What is your price on ...?" If that is the questions your sales staff is hearing far too often from your accounts, then we need to look at what is missing from the formula of what your business is trying to deliver. It appears what you are trying to deliver is not what your account is needing or wanting.

Presentations based upon Tom Shay's book "How to become the Preferred Vendor - 251 Strategies for doing more business with retailers!

We believe Thursday, April 25 is an important annual celebration for small businesses. While the name of the celebration has varied over the years, the focus is for us to take kids to work with us.

 

This is important for the kids to see what it is we do. They definitely are not going to learn about it in school. Reading the April Small Business News you will see an example from community pharmacists that emphasizes it is up to us as small business owners to introduce kids to what we do.


Article of the Month

While titled, "If not price", the April Article of the Month is asking the question about the focus of your small business in attracting and keeping customers.

 

If there is not something very special about your business, then the only attraction to your businessis that of a low price.


Book of the Month

"The plan as you go business plan" is the April book of the month. The author is Tim Berry who has also created software on the same topic.

 

I do not agree with the concept of "fill in the blank" or "create the plan as you need it" because my experience has been that you do not have as strong as a connection and understanding to your business plan unless you do it yourself and you dedicate the time to create it.
