In his book, entitled, “The Acquisitive Distributor: Acquisitions as a Growth Strategy for Distributors” author Brent Grover presents a wealth of information of interest to anyone who is contemplating either the sale of, or purchase of, a wholesale distribution company.
Tom Noon, principal of Industry Insights Inc., is a featured speaker on the “Network '06” ASA convention program. In his presentation, “Don't Leave Profit on the Table - Use the OPR!” Tom will teach how you can use this benchmarking tool to your best advantage. Find out how you can compare your own company's performance to that of your competitors' and how you can determine your place in the “food chain” when it comes to profit margin, asset turnover, return on assets and much more.
Each year, the American Supply Association publishes its Operating Performance Report of the PHCP Wholesale Distribution and PVF Distribution Industries (OPR). The OPR represents the most complete, accurate and up-to-date database of financial and operating data published anywhere about the PHCP and PVF industries.
This first-of-its-kind session, wholesalers from a variety of different industries will be able to share ideas and solutions during ASA's “Cross Industry Networking Roundtables,” September 26, 2006 in Chicago.
The new NAW DREF publication, “Driving Growth and Shareholder Value: The Distribution Value Map” is a sensational new tool that I encourage all distributors to look into.
Over the past few years many of our members did not see the value of their membership in ASA despite a significant menu of programs, tools and services that can help them address day-to-day issues and improve profitability.
ASA is happy to report that you can now register on-line for “Network'06,” making it easier than ever to prepare to attend this year's value-packed event.
