Setting Up a Floor Care Training Program
End users recognize the value of a distributor with a good training program. When it comes to floor care, what should distributors include in their training programs that will set them apart from the competition? Do you offer training for distributors? A fractional ad listing seminar dates, training locations or digital training resources would be the perfect adjunct to this general overview.
Cleaning, Sanitizing, Disinfecting: What's the Difference, Why Should I Care?
When it comes to cleaning and disinfecting, end users are often confused as to the proper product and procedures. Janitors may be using a harsher product than necessary. Distributors can be educating customers on the differences between cleaning, sanitizing, disinfecting and possibly even sterilizing.

The Baby Changing Station Revolution
In October 2016, President Obama signed the Bathrooms Accessible in Every Situation (BABIES) Act, requiring baby changing stations in men's rooms in all federal buildings open for public use. This law affects 14,000 buildings as a start, but many states may look to enact their own laws requiring men's room changing stations in all public buildings. This gives distributors the opportunity to sell baby changing tables, and also upsell cleaners and disinfectants, hand sanitizer dispensers, waste receptacles and more.
