The Women Who Move Us Forward

By Jenny Shannon

In the early days of the electrical industry, a woman’s job was to answer the phone and get coffee. Even in the late 1990s, only a small percentage of women held leadership roles. That’s why the NAED Women in Industry Forum matters so much. Women now hold positions at every level of the channel and are gaining momentum as leaders. They’re taking charge, being recognized, and inspiring women and men alike. Desiree Grace is one of those women who is deeply respected by her cohorts. But as a woman who works alongside her, I have the honor of being her biggest fan.

Desiree leads with knowledge, poise, and confidence. She is a force that is also approachable. She is a mentor who continues to learn and absorb new ideas. When someone like that is highlighted in a national setting, it sends a message with a reach beyond the event:

Women are more powerful when joining forces and supporting each other!

Electrical Trends captured the energy of the Forum beautifully with Power You, Power the Future. Check out our four takeaways here on LinkedIn. At River Heights Consulting, we’re proud to be part of an industry where women continue to lead, challenge, and inspire. And we're especially proud to have Desiree on board.

50 Questions for Distributors

Last week I wrote an article titled “Six Questions that Demand an Answer.”  Sharing the article with a few trusted advisers, I received one consistent bit of feedback best summarized by this response. “Frank, I agree these are questions we must ask ourselves; they caused me to pause and ponder.  I used them as an exercise with my team to think about our overall strategy.  I believe taking the time to think about our business from an outside perspective to be justified and worthwhile.   Sometimes it’s hard to do this subjectively.  I would like to see more questions just like these.” The following is my first round of questions.  I have put them into categories to make them easier to digest.  Some will apply to your position, some will not.  I suggest spending a moment visiting these topics with members of your own team. A note:  The readers of this blog come from a variety of backgrounds, hold a diverse collection of positio...

Rebate Programs in Distribution

By -

Many segments of the wholesale business use rebates as a plan to modify and reward distributor behavior. While the roots of these end of year rebates and similar programs are mostly lost to history, they have become an important part of the distributor financial sheet. For example, Electrical Distributors typically report around 40-60 percent of their bottom line comes by way of rebates. Other lines of trade indicate similar numbers. This information is not anecdotal. This is not beer talk, the Profit Reports published through groups like NAED and others back up the statement. Without rebates, the channel could be in serious trouble. Marketing and Buying Groups help drive the rebate dollars Many independent distributors receive their rebates through   marketing groups. Organizations like IMARK and Affiliated Distributors (AD) in the electrical industry come to mind, as do groups in other lines of trade. Here is a short list (mostly top of mind): • Distributor P...

Commission Policies in the Automation and High Tech Electrical Industry

By -
We are gathering information and building a list of frequently asked questions.   I am often asked about commission structures within the Automation, Electrical Distribution Industry and other knowledge-based distributor operations (Power Transmission Distributors PTDA, Fluid Power Distributors FPDA and Industrial Distributors). Considering the frequency of the question (from potential salespeople, experienced seller, managers and others,) I feel it appropriate to post some thoughts on the practice. While this is not our typical kind of post, I wanted to create a forum for discussion. Commissions based on Gross Margin are one of the most commonly used incentive practices on the channel side of the business. On the manufacturing side, many people are still paid based on their gross sales numbers. Often you will hear distributors refer to this practice as paying on “tonnage” because sales professionals compensated in this matter really aren’t required to worry about whether ...
