Robotics
Robotics is a new product category for distributors. What will their sales story be? This article focuses on the robotics sales pitch and primary customer markets. It also discusses any post-sales duties for distributors, such as programming and equipment maintenance. |
Engineered Water
On-site generation of engineered water is an alternative to traditional chemicals. This article covers tips on how to sell this emerging product category.

Odor Control
Distributors can educate customers on where to place dispensers in a restroom for maximum fragrance, but safe enough to avoid vandalism. We address the strategic placements for effective odor control, including wall height, and room and stall placement.

Foodservice Disposables
Foodservice disposables are estimated to be a $21.9 billion market in 2019. Jan/san distributors traditionally sell $1.2 billion worth of foodservice disposables. This article addresses how distributors can increase their share of this market by targeting the foodservice spend for school and hospital cafeterias, and grocery and retail store "ready-to-eat" areas. Distributors are already selling cleaning supplies to these facilities, so it makes sense to upsell to these existing customers.

Report on End User Spending

Book Excerpt
We'll feature an excerpt from the latest edition of the popular NAW publication "Facing The Forces of Change." Specifically, we look at having a customer-centric business focus. Distributors should be able to ask clients to dictate terms of business to distributors rather than the other way around.
