WMS Sales Risk & Reward
Founded in 1959 by Dave Wiggins, Dan McGuckin and Paul Schaefer. • Specification based representative with shelf good (wholesaler) products in our mix. • Dodge Reports, Builders exchange, Plans & Specifications. • Customers: Wholesalers, Contractors, Engineers & Owners. • Primary Markets: Plumbing, HVAC, Municipal and Industrial. • Focused Business Outlook from Management to Employees. This is everyone’s business! • Positive growth in people, products and sales.
Residential Sales Channel: Wholesaler WMS Sales Contractors End Users • Problem: • Need to increase stocking distributors across 5 major regions. • Need to retain & increase sales with present distribution. • 80% of sales were from 2 stocking distributors. Covered < 50% of territory. • These distributors had 9 locations with13 salespeople. • Agency Risk: • Internal: Multi-million $$ Residential boiler product conflict. • External: New distribution raises conflict & crosses multiple manufacturers.
Growth through increased WMS personnel, new stocking distributors and existing distributors. Building new relationships and using our relationship with all levels of personnel is key to our success. There are very few substantial rewards if there isn’t a risk. The only constant in our business is Change. Learn to change or you’ll be run over!
