Beyond Stuff: How To Present Yourself and Your Company 

CAS Points: 1.5

Presented by: Joel Schafeer, MAS, President Soundline (S)

Too many distributors see themselves as selling stock product from a catalog. In fact, every distributor has the capability of having a dashboard of a car manufactured or even a kitchen cabinet. As the industry segments and commodity product is being sourced on the internet, distributorships need to reposition themselves. This session starts by identifying your capabilities and ends with global sourcing.

-  Identify what your capabilities are (from paper to plastic, metal to Mylar)

-  Revamp your presentations focusing on capabilities and services 

-  Target new markets for new services

-  Review what buyers said they want from you

-  Share methods of getting fees for your creative concepts

-  Identify value-added services to delineate your company
