Endorsements for The Digital Distributor™ Program

Jim Banovich
CEO, Marsh Electronics

“As a distributor we are struggling with the developing of an introduction or invitation to see customers face-to-face. I can see how Susan's digital tools will lead us to introductions and invites for face-to-face meetings at the right point in the sales process. Great timing Susan!”

Mike Marks, Founding Partner, Indian River Consulting Group

"We are all deluged with the ‘change now or die’ message. This is a program of six steps that examines how to start and how the pieces fit together. It provides very tangible and specific examples of what the new normal will look like for an industrial distributor."

Brian Peters
CEO, Peters Supply

"Susan's playbook gives you step-by-step instructions on what we all need to do to communicate our value to more people. Follow Susan’s compass, and you will find your distribution company surrounded with more customers for whom you are better fit to help solve their problems."

Susan provides indispensable insights and executable actions for immediately growing sales and delighting customers, and at the same time, building a foundation for B2B innovations and the future of distribution. This book is a must read for every distributor leader and rising star!”

Dirk Beveridge, Founder of UnleashWD & We Supply America

"Susan shares the latest in B2B marketing and supports it all with case studies from distribution companies; and unlike most others, she prescribes the very next step you must take to market in a post pandemic world (with downloadable worksheets!)"

Kyle Schull
President, Building Products, Inc.

"Susan provides an excellent roadmap for distributors to follow. I have personally worked with Susan for the last two years while launching our digital marketing initiatives at BPI.
