“The coming together of the electrical manufacturers’ community and the electrical representative community to attempt to identify and eliminate waste in our channel is invaluable to me. Being the President of a multi-disciplined rep firm, anything I can do to eliminate wasted time and effort is in essence and increase in commission dollars and the realignment of non-productive activities into revenue / customer satisfaction activities. This effort could not have been managed by either the NEMRA manufacturers group or the NEMRA Board of Directors without the professional help of Tom O’Connor and FCG. Eliminating Wasteful Activities in the Representative and Manufacturer Sales & Marketing Channels is a key strategic objective to ensure our channel is the most efficient and productive channel to get product to market.”
