Take time for a profit tune-up to improve your company’s performance!
Spring Meeting
If you are an owner, executive, or emerging leader in a distributor company, this event is for you. Stay tuned for Fall Meeting details at the Streamlining Healthcare Expo & Business Exchange.
The Independent Distributors Summit is designed exclusively for leaders from local, regional, and specialty healthcare distributors. At the spring meeting, built into HIDA’s Executive Conference, you’ll work interactively with peers from other independents, learning from each other and from distributor profitability expert Jason Bader.
Jason Bader, principal consultant with The Distribution Team, notes that “gross sales are for vanity – profit is for sanity.” He’ll share insights rooted in his 40-year career in his family’s distribution business as well as his consulting work with distributors nationwide.
The Summit includes group discussions, case studies, and hands-on exercises.
