SEDA PROFIT Report

At a time when customer service relationships take much of a distributor's energy, SEDA members rely on the SEDA PROFIT Report for quick and concise detail on operational background analysis.

With the PROFIT Report, individual member companies can compare and measure their performance with others of similar size, dollar volume and product mix. When this survey is combined with a member's own knowledge, experience and resources, it is a valuable management tool. Many members use the PROFIT Report in their annual business plan development.

Specifically, the PROFIT Report alerts you to trends developing in the industry affecting your customers. It tells you where you should be regarding sales to inventory ratios, net profit to sales ratios, operating expense ratios and net profit to tangible net worth ratios.

The profitability of your business depends upon how efficiently it operates, and that's where the PROFIT Report helps. Order your copy of the Profit Report today!

SEDA 2008 Compensation Survey

The SEDA Compensation Survey is a cross-industry survey on salaries and fringe benefits. The survey results include data about executive and employee compensation and fringe benefits, further broken down by geographic and sales size information.

SEDA joined 25 other distribution trade associations in sponsoring the largest cross-industry compensation survey ever conducted, with more than 3,000 firms taking part. Because of the breadth and depth of this survey, it is vital for your company to have. This data can not be found anywhere else.

The Compensation Survey will help your company know how other distribution firms are compensating their employees, and how your compensation package stacks up against theirs. The information is broken out into base salary, bonus and total compensation. The SEDA 2008 Compensation Survey will be available for purchase in late spring.
