You have the right to craft a strategy that appropriately aligns with your business objectives, inventory, availability, and owner preferences. This session will specifically discuss pricing, content, and inventory management strategies, and how to tweak each to fit your goals. With a dynamic distribution strategy, you can create competitive advantage, extend your reach, and generate qualified conversions. Do more than connect – it’s time to thrive!

In the kit, you’ll find a delicious snack and a mint to freshen up after that snack; an extra kick of Vitamin-C plus something to ease a headache; ‘handy’ wipes to conveniently clean up those handshakes, pocket-perfect chapstick, and a touch of blue to add to your water bottle, laptop, or notebook.
