Key Takeaways
Build strong relationships with your distributors by visiting their offices and getting to know their team members, which can lead to better service and proactive support.
Forecast your product needs with your distributor to ensure availability, especially for sales or seasonal demands, to avoid stockouts and delays.
Be open to discussing product effectiveness with your distributor; sometimes, issues stem from application methods or customer interference, not the product itself.
Consider purchasing non-perishable supplies like bait stations in bulk for potential tax advantages and to prepare for future growth.
For chemicals, buy enough to last the year, especially during sales, but avoid over-purchasing if you're a smaller operation, and store them in temperature-controlled environments for longevity.
Utilize distributors' expertise on product science, such as active ingredient rotation, but also trust what works for your business if you're not experiencing callbacks.
Explore opportunities to integrate exclusion services for rodent control, as it's a growing problem, and ensure pricing reflects the value of such comprehensive solutions.
