The pandemic has changed the path of how industrial distributors are selling, making it necessary to focus on value-add solutions now more than ever.  Buyers are looking for how quickly they will see a return on their investment while also focusing on how those purchases will add significant value to their business.   ROI Selling recently published a blog post on the elements of risk in the buyer’s decision-making process and what you can do, as a seller, to combat those feelings and show true value of their large purchase.

Technology companies like Tribute, Inc., that sell ERP solutions to the fluid power, motion control, hose and accessories, instrumentation and process control, pump distribution, and other industrial distributors, face the same challenges when engaging a prospect.  Technology is a major purchase and the value-add benefits and quick return on investment are paramount in the decision-making process.
