SEDA Co-Sponsored Educational Events

SEDA is proud to co-sponsor several events this year with the Association Education Alliance (AEA). Events for this year include a mix of webinars as well as live programs. SEDA will promote individual events throughout the year however we would like to highlight the programs accepting registrations now.

Distributor/Manufacturer Relations: Demonstrating Total Cost Savings

A webinar by Tim Underhill on Distributor/Manufacturer Relations: Demonstrating Total Cost Savings will be presented on Wednesday, March 28 from 1pm-2pm EST. The session will focus on how manufacturers and distributors both add value through the products and services they provide their customers, but being able to show the dollar savings beyond price these products and services provide is difficult for many companies. However with the rise in the price of steel, energy, plastics and other costs, the need to be able to demonstrate your value is rising.

This presentation will focus on why customers need suppliers that can reduce their total operating costs, and why you need to show your value. We will then show you how you can document your value quickly and easily. To register for this program follow this link or click here to download the flyer.
