October 11 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT
For many wholesale distribution companies, sales compensation is an essential piece of their overall commercial performance. The long-term trends driving change in customer acquisition behavior that were accelerated during the pandemic along with levels of inflation unseen for decades have led many distributors to reexamine the effectiveness of their current programs.
