ISD Distributor PROFIT Report
Survey processing and analysis is currently underway - if you submitted one for 2010,stayed tuned for the Distributor Profit Report which will be out in September.
The era of automatic profits has come to a sudden halt. The industry has moved from trying to keep up with demand to battling sales, pricing, expense control and every other aspect of operations.
In turbulent times, financial benchmarking information is more important than ever before. The best source of financial benchmarks for the industry is the ISD Distributor PROFIT Survey. The information in this report provides answers to questions such as
"Are the most successful firms in a down market placing more emphasis on gross margin management or expense control?"
In short, this report presents a wealth of financial and operating guidelines. In addition, it provides direct comparisons between your firm and other participating firms. This valuable information is, however, only available to firms that participate in the study.
In return for your participation, you'll receive:
- The Distributor PROFIT Report - A financial and operating profile of the entire industry.
- Performance Analysis Report - A confidential report sent directly to you comparing your firm with similar participating firms. Many firms take this report to the bank to discuss loans and lines of credit.
- Profit Toolkit Online - A Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet to assist your financial planning.
Access instructions are included with your Performance Analysis Report. The detailed benchmarking information in the PROFIT Report and in your Performance Analysis Report is available to you for the nominal fee of $100. This is a great bargain. The fee will be billed once the survey has been completed.
