Do you know what to do next in this challenging economy?
If you don’t, you are not alone. But take heart.
Allen Ray Associates and Shamrock Growth Associates are asking you to participate in a survey that will ask and answer key questions about what distributors did plus what worked and what didn’t work in the continuing business slowdown. We’re also asking what Independent Distributors plan to do to grow in the future, even if the economy exhibits flat to slow growth.
We need your help to do this. Your input will be combined with other distributors throughout the industry and aggregated into a complete view of Independent Distribution issues and answers. So, we need enough answers to paint the most complete picture of what works and what doesn’t, plus how to plot your best course for the future.
What will you get out of this?
Respondents will have access to the survey results in their entirety on our Web sites. Plus, you will be the first to receive our exclusive executive summary.
We will also be publishing a series of articles on Repositioning Independent Distribution in Industrial Supply magazine and Electrical Wholesaling later this year and into 2010.
Take the survey by clicking this link:

Your input will be combined with insights from other distributors throughout the industry and aggregated into a manufacturer report (an executive summary is available for distributors). The goal is to help us understand what distributors are doing different in these economic times.
The survey should take about 30 minutes to complete.
Thank you for your time and we appreciate your input.
